1874.] 301 [Scudder. 



broadly bordered with black scales from its divarication to its union 

 with the median, and from the middle of the band so formed a band 

 of equal width crosses the cell to the divarication of the median ; in 

 the middle of the cell is a rather large round spot, and in the costo- 

 subcostal interspace is a black streak, parallel to the mesial band 

 and midway between it and the base; the extreme base of the 

 wing and the inner border are slightly dusky ; the outer black 

 border of the wing is rather broad, and within it is a row of large 

 triangular spots, separated from the border by a narrow fulvous 

 stripe, sometimes broken into spots ; nearly midway between the row 

 of triangular spots and the mesial band, but approaching the former, 

 is a curved row of rather large round spots in the subcostal and me- 

 dian interspaces. Fringe of outer border dark brown, interrupted 

 with ochraceous. 



Lower surface. Fore wings pale fulvous with the markings of the 

 basal half and the row of round spots repeated conspicuously ; apex 

 pale cinnamon-red, the tip and a streak on costal border midway be- 

 tween it and mesial band, ochraceous; the black border of the upper 

 surface wanting and replaced by very pale cinnamon-red mingled with 

 some ochraceous scales, the extremities of the nervules being ochrace- 

 ous, tipped toward the round spots with large, triangular, scarcely 

 sagittate, black spots. Hind ivings : extreme base pale cinnamon- 

 red, with a white spot generally bordered with black between each of 

 the principal nervures at their origin ; at about two-fifths the dis- 

 tance from the base, a broad transverse band of pale cinnamon-red 

 crosses the wing, dusted profusely with ochraceous or white scales at 

 its outer and inner limits and especially where it crosses the spaces be- 

 tween the principal nervures'; it is bordered within and without with 

 black ; the inner black border starts from the costal nervure opposite 

 its divarication from the subcostal, crosses the interspace obliquely in- 

 ward, takes a sweeping curve along the outer border of the cell back 

 a little past the divarication of the median nervure, and crosses to 

 the inner border by two crescents opening inward; the exterior border 

 is composed of three parts: the first starts from the middle of the cos- 

 tal border and crosses the costo-subcostal interspace in a straight line 

 parallel to the inner border; the second starts from the subcostal ner- 

 vure opposite the origin of the first and crosses in a straight, some- 

 times broken, line the next two interspaces, nearly at right angles to 

 the nervures ; the third, starting from the lowest branch of the sub- 

 costal nervure, passes to the inner border by a series of crescents open-
