 brick-red occurring between the ochreous spaces, also between 

 some steel-blue lines that mark the course of the apical nervules 

 and along the terminal margin separating the three black dots 

 from the cilia ; the steel-blue is especially noticeable about the 

 costal portion of the wing, where it runs in slender lines through 

 the brick-red and ochreous spaces.) Exp. al. 9 mm. Hind wings
