mavglnal row of circular blackish discs midway between tlie niar;;!- 

 nal band and the outermost limits of the mesial band, running almost 

 parallel to the niaririnal band ^ the upper two between the subcostal 

 iiervules fill the whole width of the interspaces and so are confluent, 

 and sometimes touch that of tlie next interspace; the largest is situ- 

 ated beweeu the upper median nervules, and the smallest, which is 

 also the lowest partially obliterated, occurs in the medio-submediaii 

 interspace. The costal border as far as the extremity of the cell is 

 black speckled with fulvous s<'ales, which become more frequent 

 toward the base^ beyond the cell the marginal half is uniformly black 

 and sends downward between the mesial band and the submarginal 

 row of spots a triangular black spot of indistinct outline, its apex rest- 

 ing on the first inferior subcostal nervule; on the lower half of the 

 outer portion of the costal border, caused by the interruption men- 

 tioned, are a narrow fulvous streak on either side of tlie first subcostal 

 siervule, a shorter pale fulvous one on either side of the second sub- 

 costal Ijranck, and on the inner side of the upper two of the submar- 

 giual row of spots a triangular pale fulvous spot, the upper generally 

 the paler. The basal two-thirds of the inner border is blackish 

 dusky and beyond dusky mixed with fulvous ; the fringe is dirty pale 

 fulvous mixed with dusky, palest in the uiiddle of the interspaces. 

 On the hind wings there is aa irregular mesial band composed of 

 very deep lunules in the interspaces. The first four are in a straight 

 line, consecutively nearer the outer border, in passing downward ; 

 the first is in the costo-subcostal interspace, and a little outside of the 

 first divarication of the subcostal nervure ; the last is in the sub- 

 «osto-median interspace, at the point of the closest approximation 

 of the bordering nervules ; a fifth lunule is found close to the base of 

 the upper median interspace ; within this band and within an ii-reg- 

 ular line from its lower extremity to the tip of the submedian nervure, 

 the whole Imse of the wing is dusky, covered with pale greenish ful- 

 vous hairs as in the fore wing ; above the median nervure, however, 

 and just within the band are many interspersed fulvous scales, while 

 the veins are heavily bordered with black, and a narrow transverse 

 black band crosses the cell ; in the interspaces opening on the outer 

 border, and in continuation of the submarginal row of spots on the 

 fore wing, is a regularly curving row subparallel to the outer border, 

 of five nearly circular black spots, the outer ones smallest, and all sit- 

 uated midway between the mesial and marginal bands; there is a 

 marginal row of transverse black spots between the nervules of vary-
