Notes on the Zepid&pterq of America. 461 



Anterior wings, whitish, with transverse wavy or dentate bluish 

 green shade bands of unequal width. Base, bluish green, with a 

 basal brownish sinuate line not attaining internal margin. The 

 basal bluish green space is outwardly limited by a narrow sinuate 

 brown line accompanied by ochraceous powdery scales. An ante- 

 median whitish space, traversed medially by a dentate, bluish 

 green, transverse shade. A concise, darker margined, median blu- 

 ish green shade band, excavate along the edges, produced out- 

 wardly below the discal cell and margined inwardly by a transverse 

 deep brown line accompanied by ochreoUs scales and more dis- 

 tinctly marked on costa. This median band is margined outwardly 

 by an irregular line of a deeper bluish green hue than the band 

 itself and marked with brownish on costa. A distinct black discal 

 mark. A post-median, transverse, whitish band, analogous to its 

 ante-median predecessor, but more distinct and prominent, tra- 

 versed medially by a narrow dentate bluish green shade band, bent 

 outwardly opposite to the outward projection of the median band, 

 which influences its shape. Outwardly limiting this whitish band, 

 is a deep brown line accompanied by ochreous powdery scales, rather 

 irregular and partially obsolete. Beyond this, the wing is again 

 bluish green with a whitish, narrow, sub-terminal line, prominently 

 zigzag below costa and followed and preceded by brown scales 

 which appear at irregular intervals, and accompanied, as usual, by 

 powdery ochreous scales. A terminal, distinct, black, marginal 

 line, broken into geminate points at the extremity of the nervules, 

 where, also, the fringe, which is elsewhere whitish, is interrupted 

 with blackish. Under surface, testaceous, without prominent 

 markings and suffused with a reddish shade ; a discal dot ; costal 

 dots ; base of the wings, dark, reflecting the bluish green shades 

 of the upper surface ; terminally, two outwardly oblique, discon- 

 tinued, parallel, dark shade lines. 



Posterior wings, cinereous, with a faint reddish tinge, immacu- 

 late ; a broken, narrow, distinct, terminal black line along external 

 maroin ; fringe, pale cinereous. Under surface, more prominently 

 ruddy ; a black discal dot and narrow terminal line ; fringes, dot- 

 ted with black at extremity of nervules, where the black terminal 

 line is interrupted.
