438 Notes on the Zejridoptera of America. 



same color ; anal segment provided with an ample tuft ; laterally, 

 at base, a few pale ochreous hairs ; beyond, on each side, the anal 

 hairs are largely black, the longer scales from beneath fringe these 

 black lateral portions of the tuft, which are also somewhat folded 

 towards each other terminally ; medially, the anal tuft is obscure 

 reddish tipped with black. Beneath, the anal hairs, with the 

 entire abdominal surface, are dull ferruginous or rusty red. The pre- 

 anal segment shows medially a few white scales ; laterally, longer, 

 pale ochreous hairs converge inwardly from the margins of the seg- 

 ments. Anterior coxae, thickly clothed with pale yellow white hair, 

 concolorous with under thoracic surface. Legs, slender, finely 

 scaled ; anterior femora, tibiae and tarsi, obscure pale ferruginous 

 or red inwardly, outwardly pale yellowish white ; middle femora 

 and tibiae, entirely pale whitish, with a dark discolored dot at the 

 joint above ; tarsi, ferruginous, paler towards the base. Posterior 

 legs with the femora and tibiae pale yellowish white ; tarsi and 

 base of the tibiae, dark ferruginous or red ; tibial spines rather 

 feeble, pale colored. 



Anterior wings, narrow, much produced at apices, short along 

 internal margin, dark claret brown, covered at base with bright 

 green scales; discal cell narrow, brought near the base of the 

 wing, traversed longitudinally by a bar of scales. The costa is 

 narrowly covered with ferruginous scales from just beyond the 

 base to apex. Centre of the wing taken up by an oblique vit- 

 reous space free from scales, much as in H. thysbe. A terminal 

 brown marginal band narrowing to internal angle, its inner 

 margin sinuous, not dentate on the interspaces. On internal 

 margin, below the vitreous space, a few scattered pale scales. 

 Secondaries smaller, but quite similar to those of H. thysbe, in 

 general coloration and appearance ; the vitreous space crossed by 

 six nervules. Under surface, resembling upper, dull rusty red, 

 with a few pale scales at extreme base. 



The Female resembles the male in general appearance, size, and 

 coloration, but the abdomen is more rounded and shorter. The 

 anal tuft is pointed and narrower, beneath black, red at base ; 

 above, dull reddish, tipped with blackish ; antennae, slenderer than 

 in the male.
