appears as a narrow basal central streak dividing the light golden

 obliqne and parallel with the central fascia, separated from it hy a 

 narrow, pure white, oblique fascia. Cilia golden with brown tips. 

 Hindwings light fuscous. Forewings with veins 7 and 8 stalked.

JTahitat. — Colorado (Chambers). 



This species, the t3'pe of which is in the Museum of Comparative
