excised in middle on either side; a narrow streak along inner 

 margin, from beneath third spot to base, attenuated ante- 

 riorly ; a similar short streak just above ; cilia orange, more 

 pronounced around anal angle. Hindwings with termen 

 faintly sinuate before anal angle ; color as in f orewings ; basal 

 and inner marginal hairs orange; an orange spot in cell; a 

 moderate transverse orange sub-median band, limited by veins 

 1 and 6, inclining to be continued along vein 1, but not reach- 

 ing termen, edges of band somewhat crenulate, median portio-n 

 with 3 hyaline spots, cili^ as in forewings. Under side of 

 forewings orange-fuscous, dorsal portion rather broadly 

 blackish ; markings of upper side reproduced ; lower third of 

 cell filled up black, leaving a spot of orange beyond middle ; 

 cilia as above. Hindwings orange, mixed with fuscous, mark- 

 ings and cilia of upper side reproduced. 



Somewhat allied to Mamas, Feld., but the hyaline spots and 

 absence of stigma readily separate it from that species.
