 Aug. 17, 1934- 



Diagnosis. — Very dark, blackish ; the usual gold band across the

 the costal border, small, the second, crossing the cell, about half as 

 broad as the usual band in the same place and much lighter in color 

 than the first, the third, very small and bright golden, in the middle of 

 the interspace between veins Mo and Mi, and the fourth, nearly as 

 large as the second, in the interspace below near its outer end. 



Type locality. — Maryland, woods just north of the unpaved portion 

 of the Conduit Road i.i miles southeast of Great Falls, or just over 

 one-half mile west of the point where the paved road from Washing- 

 ton turns north up the hill, leaving the conduit.
