the long axis of the ocellus; frontal vesicle largely or 

 entirely pale colored, darkening to yellowish or greenish 

 brown with age. Dorsal thoracic dark area brown, not 

 sharply defined, roughly quadrangular in shape; a narrow, 

 short, dull stripe above on the humeral and second lateral 

 sutures and a trace of color about the metastigma. Abdom- 

 inal segment 3 yellow with an apical black ring; 4 

 with this apical ring produced anteriorly, in lateral view 

 triangular in shape with the apical transverse carina and 

 the lateral carina the two short sides of the triangle, not 

 reaching the median transverse carina ; 5-7 each with the 

 black area of the preceding segment produced to and 

 encircling the base, enclosing a dorsal yellow spot on each 

 segment; 8-10 black; superior appendages of male same 

 color as dorsal pale spots on 5-7. Front wing hyaline, 

 usually with the area between Sc and R as far as the first 

 antenodal, and the cubital space as far as the cubito-anal 

 crossvein, and sometimes the cells posterior to A to about 

 the same level, yellowish tinged. Base of hind wing yellow 

 tinged to the level of the third antenodal along the costa 

 and to or near the point of forking of M^_2 and M, and 

 the distal angle of the anal loop, except the median space, 

 the area between R and M^^ ^ and the extreme posterior 

 border which are scarcely or not at all tinged; in this yel- 

 lowish area are the following darker markings; an oblique 

 spot or stripe (a) posterior to the cubito-anal crossvein 

 "and extending backward and inward to the wing margin; 

 a spot (b) covering the triangle, the supertriangle, the area 

 between M^^, and M^ adjoining the supertriangle, and a 

 small area of the cubital space adjoining the triangle; a 

 large rounded area (c) occupying the basal posterior wing 

 area, its anterior point, along the side of Cu spl, separated 

 from A by four or five cells; from this anterior point 

 with its inner anterior margin parallel to the posterior 

 border of spot a, its outer anterior border formed by Cu spl ; 

 posteriorly it reaches to within one or two cells of the 

 wing margin; a diffuse area or stripe (d) across the wing 

 joining the distal anterior end of spot b with spot c along 

 Cu spl posterior to the distal fork in Cu spl; costa yellow 

 or yellowish at base to at least the first antenodal; veins 

 in colored area of hind wing yellow or reddish.. . .amanda. 

 A single row of cells between Cu^ and Cu^ in the hind wing 

 at their origin. Eleven or fewer cells between Cu spl (A^) 

 and A.,(A^) in the hind wing. Two cells in the first 

 row distal to the triangle in the hind wing. Face
