188 CATERPILLARS AND THEIR MOTHS 



hind wings are pink edged with brown of varying 

 shades, or almost all pink suffused with fawn-color on 

 the front edge. Each has an eye-spot of blue heavily 

 bordered with black, the border widest below. The 

 head, thorax, and abdomen are fawn-color, with a 

 darker, bright brown stripe through the middle. Two 

 or three specimens have had the fore wings suffused 

 with pink, as if the color of the under side showed 

 through. 



The antennae of the males are widely pectinate, those 

 of the females simple. This is an easy means of dis- 

 tinguishing between them.
