vules, where it is wider; within this mesial band are four pretty large 

 white spots narrowly bordered with black, one circular between the 

 costal and subcostal nervures, two circular in the cell arranged longi- 

 tudinally, and the fourth larger and oblong between the median and 

 submedian nervures; the row of circular black spots on upper surface 

 is repeated beneath in black with a few mingled ferruginous scales, 

 each spot being surmounted interiorly by a white spot larger than it- 

 self, often embracing it at the sides, and those above the upper three 

 produced intcriorl}' to a greater or less extent ; the black markings of 

 the border of the upper surface, are reproduced beneath faintly and 

 meagerly in dusky scales, while the interrupted fulvous markings of 

 that border are reproduced and increased beneath in white; between 

 the marginal markings and the row of circular spots are fulvous spots 

 of greater or less distinctness, generally more noticeable in the middle 

 of the wing ; the costal border is distinctly edged with white which 

 is enlarged into a spot at the shoulder of the wing and extends along 

 the nervure. The inner border is also narrowly and Interruptedly 

 edged with white. 



Body above black with brownish-olivaceous hairs ; beneath the 

 hairs are brownish-fulvous ; on palpi and legs the hairs are the same 

 but at the base on the posterior thighs are black. Legs ferruginous. 

 Antennae brownish-red, banded above with black scales with many in- 

 termingled white scales, especially at base ; club black, heavily flecked 

 with white, the tip reddish. Expanse of wings, d 40.5-44.5 mill.; ?, 

 41.5-46 mill.

? . LTpper surface fulvous marked with black, the nervures dusky. 

 Fore wings: A zigzag, wavy, continuous band, not of great breadth, 

 crosses the midtUe of the wing; the general direction of the first 

 third is toward the middle of the lower half of the outer border of 

 the wing, that of the middle third nearly parallel with the costal bor- 

 der, and that of the lower third nearly parallel to that of the first 

 third. The first third consists of a series of short broad crescents, or 

 semi-circular discs between the nervules, their inner edges straight 

 and continuous, starting from the costal border at three-fifths of the 

 distance from the base, and reaching the median nervure ; the lower 

 third of the spot on the last iutersj)ace is the starting point of the 

 middle third of the band ; this consists of three equally short bands
