ing shape, those in tlie subcostal interspaces being confluent double 

 ones. Beyond them a narrow black band seated upon the margin 

 and expanding upon the nervules to double the width, extending thus 

 between the sjjots last mentioned and becoming often, and especially 

 about the middle of the border, confluent with them, and thus" form- 

 ing a band as broad as the marginal band of the fore wings ; fringe 

 pale fulvous, palest midway between the nervules. 



Under surface of fore wings dull brownish fulvous marked with 

 dusky and black, with grayish nervures. The markings of the mesial 

 band and of the cell are repeated by narrow black streaks ; the mar- 

 ginal and submarginal row of spots are repeated, and of about simi- 

 lar size, in dusky scales ; the costal border is grayish with a few 

 greenish hairs at the base ; the upper half of the submarginal row of 

 black spots is enclosed in a band of ferruginous scales, the outer bor- 

 der extending to the marginal row of spots, and having above a zig- 

 zag outline, the inner border extending to the same distance inward, 

 and meeting a pale yellowish spot which extends to the mesial band ; 

 below, the ferruginous band merges gradually into the fulvous ; out- 

 side the zigzag border of the ferruginou's band, extending to the tip 

 of the wing, is -a pale yellow spot, with scattered ferruginous scales. 

 Outer half of the hind icings rosy ash color, more hoary toward the 

 costal border, broadly bordered internally with diffuse dusky, espec- 

 ially on the lower half and near the costal border ; the submarginal 

 row of round spots of the upper surface is repeated with dusky 

 scales, and the marginal row is faintly repeated in a manner very sim- 

 ilar to the repetitions of the same band beneath on the fore wings. 

 Occupying the basal three-fifths of the wing above the subcostal ner- 

 vure is a silvery white spot, limited externally by a black line bent at 

 a right angle in the middle of the interspace, the lower half of the 

 line running at right angles to the direction of the nervures, the up- 

 per turned outward; ferruginous scales fill the space between this 

 bent line and the dusky band of the middle of the wing. Within the 

 white band next the base, and above the costal nervure is an ochre- 

 yellow spot, and in the middle of the band is another small ochre- 

 yellow spot half crossing the interspaces, bordered outwardly by a 

 slight black line bent at right angles in an opposite direction to the 

 line on the outside of the white spot; the rest of the extreme base of 

 the wing is occupied by a black spot with a few interspersed ferrugi- 

 nous scales ; outside of this and within the ashy rose of the outer 

 half, the wing is ochre yellow, flecked with ferruginous, and broken up
