Scudder.] 304 [December 23, 



and about half the diameter of the interspaces lying in the inter- 

 spaces about midway between the mesial band and the outer border; 

 the upper three lie in a nearly straight line or are parallel to the outer 

 border, the uppermost connected with the outer triangular spot ; the 

 lower three have a slight curve in the opposite direction; seated upon 

 the outer border upon the tips of all the nervures are roundish spots 

 about the size of the spots in the last mentioned row, the upper two 

 being elongated, conical; just within this row and sometimes touch- 

 ing it, but lying in the interspaces, is another row of six roundish or 

 transversely oblong spots, which grow gradually larger away from the 

 costal border, those in the middle being about the size of the marginal 

 spots. The fringe is white interrupted with dusky next the marginal 

 spots, though the dusky interruptions are not so broad as the margi- 

 nal spots. Hind wings : a very irregular, often indistinct mesial band 

 crosses the wing; it starts near the middle of the costal border, strikes 

 the subcostal nervure nearly half way between, the first divarication 

 and the tip of the nervule, and crosses the next interspace at right 

 ano-les to the nervules; it crosses the following at right angles also, but 

 removed inward at a distance equal to its own width; from this point 

 it doubles its width and, crossing the subcosto-median interspace, its 

 inner edge removed from the cell at a distance equal to its own in- 

 creased width, continues in a nearly straight line toward the inner 

 border, subparallel to the outer border, till it is lost in the duskiness 

 of the basal portion of the wing, which covers the whole inner bor- 

 der as far as the median nervure; the duskiness of the base is other- 

 wise about as extensive as on the fore wings and is particularly notice- 

 able in the whole cell ; the basal half is covered with hairs as in the 

 fore wino-s, but more extensively; beyond the mesial band the fulvous 

 color is if anything slightly deeper than on the primaries; a row of 

 six circular spots of equal size, in continuation of that on the prima- 

 ries, occupies the same interspaces as there, the lowest being seen but 

 faintly, obscured by the duskiness .of the internal border; they form 

 a bent row, each half of which is straight and subparallel to the 

 outer border; the marginal bands, similar to those on the fore wings, 

 are so confluent that they may be better described as a broad margi- 

 nal belt with a crenulate inner border enclosing, in the interspaces, 

 small, transverse, fulvous crescents emitting a streak — sometimes a 

 mere line, sometimes one nearly as broad as the crescent — to the 

 outer border; the fringe is white interrupted with black at the ner- 

 vule tips, but more narrowly than in the primaries.
