Fore wings pale ochre yellow, whitest on the costal portion, and 

 sprinkled with dark-brown scales to such an extent as to give them 

 a wood-brown color. These dark-brown scales form an antefis- 

 sural spot, which in some specimens is concave on the outside and 

 extended obliquely up and out, nearly reaching a dark-brown cos- 

 tal streak over the end of the fissure, beyond which are two costal 

 dark-brown spots, the first of which is the smaller. The brown on 

 the second lobe sometimes gives this part of the wing a streaked 

 appearance. Fringes smoke brown, cut with whitish once on the 

 first lobe and twice on the outer margin of the hind lobe. Hind 

 wings and fringes brownish cinereous. 



Habitat. New York, California, Vancouver Island. Food, 

 Eupatorium purpureum. 



"Larva. Length, 0.55 of an inch; color of skin greenish, 

 striped with wine color and white ; hairs dusky, lighter laterally. 

 Dorsal line white, interrupted with circles and bordered laterally 

 with wine color. That part of the dorsal space in which the 

 tubercles stand, much lighter in hue; subdorsal and stigmatal 

 lines white, bounded by the same shade as the dorsal. Head 

 light green, spiracles ringed with brown. 



"Pupa. Color, green, ornamented with wine-colored and 

 white lines. It has the same size and habits as homodactylus ; the 

 tubercles are similar. It is a little thicker, the anterior end more 

 obtusely truncated and less bilobed. The hairy clothing similar 

 to liomodactylus, but the hairs not so smooth as in that pupa."
