blacker. Antennae light chestnut with a silky luster. Thorax with- 

 out markings above except that near the middle line the yellow is a 

 little paler. Fore wings with a light chestnut colored discal spot 

 varying somewhat in size, depth of color, and limits, sometimes 

 blending with the similar color outside. From the costa near the 

 apex a dark brown line passes backward to near a point a little inter- 

 nal to the angle, on the inner margin. This line as a whole is arched 

 outward somewhat, but may be slightly sinuate during its course. A 

 shorter, broader and less sharply defined line arising at the same 

 place on the costa runs toward the center of the wing making a sinu- 

 ous course, passing external to the discal spot, and terminates near the 

 middle of the wing. The strength with which this line is developed 

 and its exact course vary. The color of the wing external to the 

 outer line is quite uniform but the costa and outer margin are nar- 

 rowly edged with black. The front half of the wing between the 

 two lines is the portion where the chestnut color is tinged with 

 yellow, while behind, the pinkish replaces the yellow. Internal to 

 the inner line the chestnut varies in the distance to which it extends, 

 sometimes reaching to and blending with the discal spot and behind 

 this extending some distance toward the base of the wing, then re- 

 treating to about the middle of the internal margin. There is usually 

 a small chestnut spot near the internal margin, lying in the yellow, 

 about one third of the distance from the base of the wing to the anal 

 angle. The fringe on the outer margin of the fore wing is dull white 

 with a black line running through it. Hind wings above uniformly 

 dull clay. Fringe brown at base, whitish beyond, with two dividing 

 dark lines. Basal segment of the abdomen above, of the same color 

 as the thorax, the remainder brown-pink, without markings. Under 

 surface of fore wings pale brown, lighter near the base and internal 

 margin ; with a decided pinkish shade along the basal half of the 

 costa which is very narrowly edged with dark brown. Hind wings 

 beneath of the same general shade as the fore wings, the outer half 

 of the costa slightly tinged with dark. The outer half of the wing is 

 sprinkled sparsely with black scales perceptible with a lens. Body 

 beneath of- the same color as the abdomen above but with a decided 

 pink shade. Coxal clothing orange red. Legs light chestnut, 

 sprinkled with black scales, the femora and tibiae with a pinkish tinge 

 beneath, the tarsi quite grayish.
