narrow common fulvous band edged anteriorly black and enclosinj 

 costal margin of primaries a row of fine obsolescent white spots; beyond 

 to base both wings are marked by undulating black lines: fringes white, 

 black at tips of riervules. Under side orange; a narrow white border to 

 both hind margins: next a row of white lunules edged black, replaced by 

 fulvous below upper branch of median on primaries; next on primal 

 row of white spots, obsolete except on anterior half: beyond to base as a- 

 bove; on secondaries the lunules are preceded by an orange band with a 

 black dot on ea h interspace (but sometimes altogether wanting), and 

 beyond is a white band, containing three rows of black spots, two along 

 edges, one in middle; another white band nearer base, edged with black 

 spots, and inner margin white. 



Female: Upper side, like male: below as in male, but the white row 

 on primaries is distinct across wing. Expanse of male i - i to i '25 inch, 

 of female 1 "4 inch. Texas, Southern Colorado. 



22. M. Arachne, W. H. Edw. (M Treydes, Strecker.) Male : Up- 

 per.'. side closely .like M.M/m/la,W. H. Edw. , paler fulvous crossed In- 

 common black lines; both wings have a submarginal row of small fulvous 

 lunules; fringes white, black at tips of nervules. Sometimes the male is 

 veiy black, all the borders and black lines being widened into bands, and 

 the fulvous restricted. Under side as in M. Minuta, W. H. Edw. , the 

 principal difference being in the shape of the sub-marginal lunules, which 

 are much excavated and allow r a widening of the black marginal border: 

 in "Minuta" the lunules are very little excavated. 



Female: Upper side like the male, fulvous: under side paler orange. 

 Expanse of male 1 - 2 inch, of female 1 - 4 inch. North and South Col.

 low points or small spots, partly absent on primaries; next a common row 

 of small orange spots, then a discal common row of long and narrow pale 

 spots; all of primaries nearly all fulvous; below cell a rounded patch and 

 towards base a stripe; secondaries have the cell fulvous externally; fringes 

 alternately and equally white and black. Under side black spotted with 

 buff and fulvous; both wings have a sub-marginal series of large buff spots; 

 Other markings of primaries much as above; secondaries have an extra-dis-
