nervures. Fore wings: a narrow broken band extends transversely 

 and very irregularly across the wing, commencing and terminating a 

 little beyond the middle of the costal and inner border ; its general 

 direction is at first toward a point on the outer border, two-thirds of 

 the distance from the apex, next by a blind zigzag course toward the 

 inner border at a point one-third of the distance from the base, and 

 then straight toward the inner border; it is made up first of a 

 nearly straight band which reaches the upper median nervule, then 

 by three short transverse dashes, in the three succeeding interspaces, 

 the first midway between the termination of the band and the last di- 

 varication of the median nervure, the second below that divarication, 

 and the third outside of the second by its own width ; within the 

 mesial band are three narrow transverse bands crossing the cell, the 

 innermost not reaching the median nervure ; within these is a small 

 lunule, opening outward ; below the divarication of the median ner- 

 vure is a short dash, suddenly bent inward, and then slightly up- 

 ward ; the extreme base of the wing is slightly dusky ; at the outer 

 border is a broad band, regularly angulated on inner border, enclos- 

 ing* a series of slender, transverse or linear, fulvous spots, seldom 

 continuous except at the apex, where they are larger ; between this 

 and the mesial band is a curved row of roundish spots, the lower one 

 of which falls outside of the curve ; at the apex this row merges into 

 the outer band ; between this band and the mesial there is on the 

 costal border a dusky triangular spot, extending to the penultimate 

 branch of the subcostal nervure. Hind wings : the mesial band extends, 

 with a very irregularly zigzag course, from the middle of the costal 

 border to a point between the subcostal and median nervures three- 

 fifths of the distance from the base, and then, nearly at right angles, to 

 the middle of the inner border ; it is generally interrupted and then 

 formed of five dashes: the first, in the costo-subcostal interspace, at 

 a little less than one-half the distance from the base, is directed in- 

 ward toward the inner border about one-third the distance from the 

 base ; the second starting from outside the first crosses the subcostal 

 nervule at right angles ; the third at some distance outward crosses 

 the subcosto-median and upper median interspaces, at right angles to 

 the nervules ; the fourth crosses the next interspace in the same 

 general direction, but removed by its own width further toward the 

 base; the fifth turned upward and starting just beyond the fourth, 

 crosses the medio-submedian interspace ; both the second and the 

 third are occasionally bent; within this band, the subcostal nervure is
