  edged 
  before 
  with 
  black 
  ; 
  at 
  the 
  tips 
  of 
  the 
  

   veins, 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  subtriangular 
  black 
  spots.

  violet-blue 
  shade 
  characterizing 
  Scudderii 
  / 
  a 
  few 
  (per- 
  

   haps 
  twenty 
  on 
  each 
  side) 
  purple 
  scales 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  seen 
  beneath 
  

   the 
  basilar 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  median 
  of 
  the 
  primaries 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  

   base 
  of 
  the 
  secondaries. 
  On 
  the 
  primaries, 
  a 
  sub 
  marginal 
  

   crescentiform 
  fulvous 
  band, 
  which 
  is 
  more 
  distinct 
  between 
  

   the 
  nervules 
  of 
  the 
  median 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  secondaries 
  a 
  submarginal 
  

   row 
  of 
  six 
  semi-elliptical 
  black 
  spots, 
  preceded 
  by 
  fulvous 
  

   crescents, 
  and 
  followed 
  by 
  a 
  few 
  pale 
  scales. 
  

  

  Beneath 
  : 
  on 
  the 
  primaries, 
  the 
  extradiscal 
  row 
  of 
  black 
  

   spots 
  rather 
  weaker 
  than 
  in 
  Scudderii 
  (as 
  also 
  on 
  the 
  second- 
  

   aries), 
  while 
  the 
  outer 
  row 
  of 
  the 
  submarginal 
  series, 
  which, 
  in 
  

   that 
  species 
  is 
  often 
  obsolescent, 
  is 
  in 
  this, 
  well 
  defined 
  and 
  of 
  

   nearly 
  equal 
  strength 
  to 
  the 
  interior 
  row. 
  The 
  secondaries 
  

   show 
  but 
  two 
  of 
  the 
  usual 
  four 
  extrabasilar 
  black 
  spots 
  ; 
  the 
  

   remaining 
  ornamentation 
  much 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  sex.

  This 
  species 
  differs 
  principally 
  from 
  the 
  allied 
  species 
  with 
  

   which 
  it 
  is 
  compared, 
  in 
  the 
  black 
  veins 
  and 
  brighter 
  and 
  

   more 
  glossy 
  wings 
  of 
  the 
  & 
  , 
  and 
  the 
  uniform 
  brown 
  wings 
  of 
  

   the 
  $ 
  , 
  with 
  its 
  submarginal 
  fulvous 
  band 
  on 
  the 
  primaries 
  ; 
  

   in 
  the 
  stronger 
  submarginal 
  spots 
  of 
  the 
  lower 
  surface, 
  and 
  

   the 
  weaker 
  interior 
  spots 
  ; 
  the 
  more 
  numerous 
  metallic 
  scales 
  

   and 
  their 
  peculiar 
  hue 
  ; 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  fulvous 
  crescents 
  

   and 
  the 
  narrowness 
  of 
  the 
  black 
  lines 
  bordering 
  them 
  ; 
  the 
  

   heavy 
  black 
  termination 
  of 
  the 
  veins, 
  etc. 
  

  

  The 
  secondaries 
  are 
  more 
  prolonged 
  on 
  the 
  submedian 
  

   nervure, 
  giving 
  to 
  the 
  anal 
  angle 
  a 
  greater 
  prominence.
