at base ; in the female the wing is normal, i.e., witli the ter- 

 men rounded. 



A remarkable genus, not near any other known to me. The 

 curious ridge on costa of male and aborted hindwings make it 

 a conspicuous genus.

 more than half across wing, anterior edge dentate, dentation 

 filled with blackish and preceded by an oblique clear whitish 

 line ; a similar line along posterior edge of spot ; third small,

 black, sometimes continued as a fine whitish line to anterior 

 edge of third leaden spot; ground color between streak and
