upper side of the palpi are grayish brown, inclining to mouse color 

 in some specimens. The under side of the entire body, legs and 

 palpi is somewhat lighter than the under side of the wings. 



The markings on the fore wings are dark brown, and are as follows : 

 The hall line starts from the costa, near the base of the wing, and 

 extends half way across the wing. The transverse anterior line 

 arises from the basal fourth of the costa. and crosses the -wing as a 

 scalloped line. Just outside of this line, on the cell, is the small 

 orbicular spot. The reniform spot is crescent shaped and, resting on 

 the outer end of the cell, extends across its entire width. The 

 median shade is quite obscure, but is bent out around tiie end of the 

 cell, and toothed along the outside. The transverse posterior line 

 arises from the outer fourth of the costa, is somewhat curved and 

 toothed on the veins, and terminates just within the anal angle. 

 'I'he subterminal line, a little outside, is similar to tlie transverse 

 posterior line and parallel with it. The terminal space is usually 

 somewhat darker than the rest of the wing, and all the cross-lines 

 are heavier on the costa than elsewhere. The fringe is cut with dark 

 brown between the veins. 



The hind wings have a faint discal lunule at the end of the cell, 

 and the terminal shade is darker brown than the rest of the wing. 

 The upper side of the abdomen is of the same color as the upper side 

 of the hind wings, and has a row of brownish spots along the middle. 



The outside of the thud and fourth joints of the tarsi, and the ends 

 of the femora on the upper side are brown ; the fore and middle 

 tibiae are pale mouse colored on the outside. 



The females measure from one and one-half to two and one-half 

 inches between the tips of the expanded wings. The entire body 

 and wings above and beneath are yellowish white, except the abdo- 

 men beneath, and towards the end above, which are pale yellow. 

 The markings of the fore wings are dark brown or nearly black, but 

 vary much in intensity in different specimens, being almost entirely 

 obliterated in some examples. The half line at the base of the wing, 

 the orbicular and reniform spots, the costal end of the transverse 

 lines and the black spots in the cilia are quite pronounced. The form 

 and position of the lines and spots are the same as in the males. 

 The fore wings are longer, narrower and more pointed than iu the 

 males. The hind wings have a faint discal spot and subterminal line 

 which is toothed along the outside on the veins, and the cilia have 

 black basal spots between the veins.
