 edged with blackish ; inner margin naiTowly dull-whitish ; cilia

 gular rows of small fuscous dots, at one-third and two-thirds 

 from base ; spots of upper side reproduced and edged with 

 blackish ; cilia as in forewings. 



Distinct by the markings on hindwings ; a similar character 

 occurs in TeJesto croceus, Misk., but the smaller size, absence of 

 stigma in male, and additional spots on forewings, easily sepa- 

 rate it from that species.
