 part of the fore wings, and a broad band -through the

 of the median vein with the outer angles much extended.

 side showing through a little.

 scales. The spots on the upper surface of the fore wings 

 are repeated, white in color, those of the subterminal 

 row blended into three groups, the lower widened pos- 

 teriorly, so as to suffuse most of the posterior angle area. 

 The hind wings have two very much bent white bands, 

 the outer not reaching the inner margin.

 cell and a patch below the stigma, distinct yellow, in- 

 clining to fulvous, the hinder portion, from the end of 

 the cell to the posterior angle, washed with yellow, and 

 a row of five yellow spots in the outer fuscous field, 

 the two beyond the cell much out of line with the others. 

 The stigma very oblique, narrow, jet-black, contracted 

 in the middle. 



Hind wings, with all but a costal edge and a very 

 narrow terminal border, heavily washed with yellow, 

 inclining to a fulvous shade in the central portion.
