the apex has the black border a little widened. Above 

 the outer end of the cell begins a curved black stripe 

 which runs from the subcostal vein across the upper part 

 of the end of the cell, and along the first median venule 

 to the outer border ; a spur from the border above this 

 stripe extends inward one-third the distance to the cell. 

 The subcostal vein beyond the cell is fulvous to the black 

 at the apex. 



Under side pale fulvous brown, paler on the outer 

 third, and somewhat clouded. The hind wings have at 

 the base two small white spots annulate with black, and 

 a fulvous spot. At the posterior angle of the fore wings 

 are two geminate whitish spots in black, at the anal 

 angle two pairs of these spots, and one pair at the apex : 

 these spots form part of two indistinct pale fulvous ter- 

 minal lines. Fore wings long and narrow, the hind 

 margin not more than half the length of the costa ; hind 

 wings triangular.

 veins of the fore wings black on the outer two-thirds of 

 the wing, the black enlarged at the ends of the median 

 venules and submedian vein. There are three white 

 spots in the cell of the fore wings, each set in a black 

 patch, one at the end and two in the middle ; and three 

 black spots between the submedian vein and the median 

 venules. Hind wings with an outer border of black 

 containing circular fulvous spots between the veins, and
