"Wings large : f orewing triangular, narrow ; costa convex, apex acute, exterior 

 margin oblique, uneven, posterior margin recurved; costal vein extending to two- 

 thirds the margin; subcostal running close alongside of costal, first and second 

 branches emitted close together, first at one-fourth before end of the cell, third bifid 

 at one-fourth before the apex, fifth from end of the cell ; upper discocellular inwardly 

 oblique, slightly concave, lower bent outward at the middle, radial from their angle ; 

 cell large, broad, extending beyond half the wing ; middle median at one-third, lower 

 at one-half before end of the cell ; submedian much recurved : hindwing broad, 

 obovate ; exterior margin uneven ; precostal vein prominent ; costal curved to near 

 apex ; first subcostal emitted at nearly half before upper end of the cell ; dis- 

 cocellulars extremely long and oblique, lower slightly waved : radial from their 

 middle ; cell very long, extending two-thirds the wing ; lower median at nearly one- 

 half before lower end of the cell and nearly opposite the end of upper discocellular, 

 the middle median at one-third between the lower and end of the cell ; submedian 

 straight, internal shghtly recurved. Body large, thorax stout, hairy ; head hairy, 

 tufted in front ; palpi clothed with long scales, hairy in front and beneath, third joint 

 small ; legs long, slender ; antennae long, gradually thickening to end, tip truncate.

Male. Upperside creamy-white : forewing with a large orange-red apical patch, 

 the extreme costal and exterior borders dark brown, the veins traversing the patch 

 fined with black and with an intervening black dentate spot : hindwing with a slight 

 black costal spot before the apex, and a dentate spot at end of subcostal veins. 

 Female slightly tinged with yellow : forewing with the apical patch somewhat smaller, 

 the veins traversing it blacker, its inner border slightly black-speckled, and the inter- 

 vening dentate marks larger : hindwing with curved discal series of black spots, and 

 a marginal band composed of large blackish confluent triangular spots. Underside 

 with the apical area of forewing and the entire hindwing yellowish-ochreous 

 numerously covered with short dark brown strigse, which are more or less blotched 

 across the disc in the female : hindwing also with a dark-speckled raised line running 

 from base of the cell to outer margin. 



Expanse 3f inches.
