more than an infuscation of the zigzag veins crossing the wing below 
the stigma, the margination of the apical half of the fifth longi- 
tudinal vein, and in a less degree of all the apical veins, but brought 
slightly into relief by a pallid cloud above and partially including 
the discal cell; in one of the two specimens these markings are 
very faint. Auxiliary vein terminating barely before the middle of 
the inner marginal cell; poststigmatal cross vein transverse, mod- 
erately short; trapezoidal cell not much elongated. Preefurca of 
normal length. Petiole of second posterior cell relatively long, 
much more than half the length of the discal cell; fifth posterior 
cell considerably broader at base than at margin. Discal cell 
relatively short and broad, less than twice as long as broad, rather 
small. Sixth longitudinal vein rather distant from the fifth; 
seventh longitudinal vein less than half as long as the wing. Legs 
slender, the tibize but slightly slenderer than the femora and a little 
longer than they, while the femora are but little more than half as 
_long as the wings. Abdomen with rather broad mediodorsal and 
lateral dark stripes. 
Length of wings, 15.5-17.5 mm.; of legs, in the smaller speci- 
men, as follows: fore femora, 8.5 mm. ; mid femora, 7.5? mm. ; 
hind femora, 9 mm. ; tibiz, 9.75 mm.

Wings four or a little less than four times as long as broad, the 
stigma moderately large, rounded, distinct, followed beneath by a 
small deeply infuscated patch at the base of the submarginal and 
first posterior cells, often as a triangular dependence of the stigma 
and as deeply stained as it; besides this, dark markings occur all 
over the wing, disposed much asin 7. macluret, but without the 
pallid clouds, or at most but extremely faint ones, and with the 
addition of a dark cloud at the base of the preefurca ; the markings 
vary much in breadth and in depth of coloring in different indi- 
viduals, but are generally as in the specimens figured. Auxiliary 
vein terminating at or scarcely before the middle of the inner mar- 
ginal cell; poststigmatal cross vein transverse, brief; trapezoidal
