tion of from three to five irregularly shaped, variously-sized, but gen- 

 erally small, fulvous spots upon the upper outer half; the markings 

 upon the apical half of the wing are almost exactly as on the fore wings, 

 except that the curving row of round spots h^s a deeper curve, the 

 spots are more universally round, and increase in size toward the 

 anal angle. The fringe of both wings is alternately liglit and dark 

 browM. 



Lower surface. Fore wings pale fulvous, the markings of basal 

 half of the upper surface with the mesial band repeated, but with less 

 distinctness, though there is no duskiness at the base, and the short 

 streak below the median nervure just before its divarication meets a 

 straight band cominjr at right angles from the junction of the median 

 and subinedian nervures ; the roundish spots in the curved row are 

 smaller and more indistinct than above ; covering that portion of the 

 space between them and the mesial band, which is traversed by the 

 subcostal nervures, is a triniigular pale yellowish patch more distinct 

 outwardly, with a transverse streak of pale cinnamon-red across its 

 middle; beyond the triangular patch the wing is pale cinnamon-red, 

 with a transverse streak of pale yellowish at the extreme apex ; the 

 SMgittate spots are more delicate, and the nervules beyond them are 

 di-itinctly yellowish or white. Basal half of the hind wings deep cin- 

 namon-red ; tliere are three characteristic pearly white or silvery spots 

 upon the basal half: the first is situated in the costo-subcostal inter- 

 space, its centre a little outside the divarication of the subcostal ner- 

 vure ; it is s(iuare or oblong, with the ends deeply excised and bor- 

 dered with black, and has the lower outer angle cut oflf by the upper 

 subcostal nervule ; the second is triangular, the sharp apex outward, 

 anil is situated between the approximating branches of the subcostal 

 and median nerTure, is traversed obliquely at one-third the distance 

 from the base by the transverse nervule, and extends to the white band 

 crossing the middle of the wing; its base is concave, deeply bordered 

 with black, and extends at one side narrowly along the lower edge of 

 the subcostal nervure, reaching the first spot; the third, also triangu- 

 lar, occupies the medio-submedian interspace; its base as far as the 

 divarication of the median is thus united to the second spot, but is 

 encroached upon from the inside by the cinnamon-red of the base of 

 the wing, which, crossing the median nervule, occupies about one-half 

 of its area and forms in the outer portion a triangular spot bordered 

 with l)lack ; there are two minute spots of white along the middle of 

 the subcosto-median interspace, the outer with a black centre, and
