304 NORTHERN ZOOLOGY. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Antennae black, bipectinated : thorax flesh-coloured with two anterior, and three posterior, oblong, 

 black spots, the latter being the largest : primary wings black, with the so-called rivulets pale with a 

 slight pinkish tint ; the main streams, especially towards the apex of the wing, form several islets, 

 most of which are divided by slenderer ones which do not appear on the under side of the wing : 

 the secondaries are of the colour of red lead, with five black spots towards the posterior margin, the 

 intermediate three forming a macular band, above which is one smaller one and below it another : 

 underneath there is also a small spot, at the costal margin, above the others.

DESCRIPTION. 



Head pallid ; orbit of the eyes, and the mouth, black; antennas black, serrato-pectinate : thorax 

 pallid, with five lanceolate black spots, the posterior ones being the largest : primary wings black, 

 with pallid rivulets, which are formed by the scales that clothe the nervures, and produce the rays 

 at the apex of these wings, where the lines are traversed by a transverse, angulated band; underneath 

 they are pale, with the black parts less distinct, except at the apex; there is a black spot in the 

 disk near the costal margin : the secondaries are orange-tawny, spotted at the apex with black : 

 abdomen tawny above, below pale, with a dorsal, and on each side a double, lateral, black, macular 

 stripe : trunk underneath black, with pale hairs intermixed : legs black ; tibiae pale above ; thighs 

 with a pale spot at the base and apex. 



This is nearly related to the preceding species, but is much smaller ; and the painting and spotting 

 of the wings differ materially.
