ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 51 



Costa velvety black. Above centre of discoidal space, a band of ground 

 color, and another similar band above end of discoidal space. Then velvety 

 black for one-eighth inch, this black portion branching downward and crossing 

 apical area as a line or dash, toward hind margin. There is a white dot on costa 

 near apex. Hind margin bordered by brownish, the brown area being narrow at 

 apex and broadening out to nearly a quarter-inch deep at lower angle. This area 

 is marked with velvety black : a dash on inner portion at apex ; below this, 

 in centre of margin, a larger velvety black mark, practically obliterating the 

 brown ; and below this, at lower angle, another patch of velvety black, point- 

 ing upward. The basal portion of discoidal space is crossed by a suffusing 

 line of velvety black, with another similar line near end of space, and one- 

 thirty-second of an inch beyond this, a clear wavy black line, practically 

 bordering the end of discoidal space. In the central portion of wing, just 

 below the end of discoidal space, is a white spot. Below this, running down 

 to inner margin, is a velvety black dash suffusing outward; and within this, 

 one-sixteenth inch nearer base of wing, is a similar dash, but suffusing 

 toward base. 



Hind wing very dark slate color. Hind margin with a narrow border of 

 velvety black, deeper at apex and anal angle, its inner edge being irregular. 

 Running from costa, from a point one-third the distance from apex to base, is 

 an irregular black line (practically interspacial spots) extending downward to, 

 and somewhat below, end of discoidal space. Midway between this and base 

 there is another similar line. Basal area close to joint is velvety black. 



Under side of fore wing dead brownish black with markings of yellowish. 

 Costa dusted with yellowish scales upward. Above end of discoidal space, a 

 yellowish dash, and a second similar one midway to apex. Apex, discoidal 

 space, and upper portion of wing (excepting markings above noted), of ground 

 color. The third of the wing at lower angle is yellowish, except that there is 

 a dark line at hind margin and a jagged dash of blackish running upward for 

 one-eighth inch from lower angle. The white spot at centre of wing on upper 

 surface is repeated. 



Lower side of hind wing yellowish, with dead brownish black markings. 

 Costal interspace dead brownish black. Apical area the same. Hind margin 

 with a blackish border and a row of suffusing spots just within it. Near base, 

 under subcostal nervule, a blackish spot, repeated one-eighth inch outward ; 

 below the latter, another, crossing discoidal space. Outside of this, midway 

 to hind margin, is a series of interspacial blackish spots, five in number, 

 starting at subcostal nervule and extending downward to first submedian ner- 

 vule. At anal angle is a spot or dash of tawny yellow, practically of ground 

 color, but lighter in appearance. Inner margin tends to yellowish gray. 



Described from one specimen taken in September, 1899. From
