Hind margin bordered by brownish, the brown area being narrow at apex 
and broadening out to nearly a quarter inch deep at lower angle. This area is 
marked with velvety black: a dash on inner portion at apex; below this, in 
centre of margin, a larger velvety black mark, practically obliterating the brown; 
and below this, at lower angle, another patch of velvety black, pointing upward. 
The basal portion of discoidal space is crossed by a suffusing line of velvety 
black, with another similar line near end of space, and one thirty-second of an 
inch beyond this, a clear wavy black line, practically bordering the end of dis- 
coidal space. In the central portion of wing, just below the end of discoidal 
space, is a white spot. Below this, running down to inner margin, is a velvety 
black dash suffusing outward; and within this, one sixteenth inch nearer base 
of wing, is a similar dash, but suffusing toward base. 
Hind wings, very dark slate color. Hind margin with a narrow border of 
velvety black, deeper at apex and anal angle, its inner edge being irregular. 
Running from costa, from a point one third the distance from apex to base, is 
an irregular black line (practically interspacial spots) extending downward to, 
and somewhat below, end of discoidal space. Midway between this and base 
there is another similar line. Basal area close to joint is velvety black. 
Under side of fore wings dead brownish black with markings of yellowish. 
Costa dusted with yellowish scales upward. Above end of discoidal space, a 
yellowish dash, and a second similar one midway to apex. Apex, discoidal 
space, and upper portion of wing (excepting markings above noted), of ground 
color. The third of the wing at lower angle is yellowish, except that there is 
a dark line at hind margin and a jagged dash of blackish running upward for 
one eighth inch from lower angle. The white spot at centre of wing on upper 
surface is repeated. 
Lower side of hind wing, yellowish, with dead brownish black markings. 
Costal interspace dead brownish biack. Apical area the same. Hind margin 
with a blackish border and a row of suffusing spots just within it. Near base, 
under subcostal nervule, a blackish spot, repeated one eighth inch outward; 
below the latter, another, crossing discoidal space. Outside of this, midway to 
hind margin, is a series of interspacial blackish spots, five in number, starting 
at subcostal nervule and extending downward to first submedian nervule. At 
anal angle is a spot or dash of tawny yellow, practically of ground color, but 
lighter in appearance. Inner margin tends to yellowish gray. 
Described from one specimen taken in September, 1899. From 
the nature of the markings and their apparent tendency to suffu- 
sion, other specimens of the same species should show considera- 
ble variation from this type. In describing such a specimen, or 
even series of specimens, a plate is indispensable.
