brown, pale at base, and checkered with dusky spots. Hind wings 

 tawny, rather dusky on inner two-thirds, with the usual marginal row 

 of fine, black dots. Beneath, ochreous dusky on the inner two-thirds 

 of wings, the outer edge of the dusky area indented on the independ- 

 ent vein, and going from the second median obliquely inwards. Two 

 minute black patches on the costa, near the apex an apical black 

 spot. Fringe checkered with dusky spots. 



Length of body, .40 ; fore wing, .47 inch. Edwards.

In this interesting species the palpi are rather short and blunt, 

 hairy, the front being unusually hairy, the scales standing up more 

 than usual. Body and antennas black, with scattered x white scales. 

 The fore wings suffused with red as a ground color, the hind wings 

 clear brick red. Fore wings thickly covered with dark bands; base 

 of wing blackish, succeeded by a narrow, reddish brown line, slightly 

 curved ; beyond, is a dark band scarcely curved, and succeeded by a 

 salmon-colored band, with a dark, thread-like line running just be- 

 yond its middle. The middle of the wing is blackish, with three 

 black, wavy lines running through it ; the discal dots, round and 

 black, being situated nearly on the innermost of the three. This 

 broad, dark band, is more curved on its inner side in the $ than $, 

 and is narrower. The outer edge is sinuate, with a dentate projec- 

 tion on the first median space. Beyond this band is a clear, dull, 

 salmon-colored band, with a wavy, dusky line running through it, 

 while the edge of the wing is dull brown. A marginal row of black, 

 subtriangular spots, fringe brown at base ; beyond, obscurely check- 

 ered with reddish and dusky spots. Hind wings brick red ; about 

 six short, fine, wavy lines on the inner edge ; a very distinct row of 

 black, marginal, intervenular spots, and fringe as on fore wings. 

 Under side of both wings red ; hind wings deeper red than fore pair, 

 crossed by fine, black, interrupted lines, three on each wing; discal 

 dots black, and costa of fore wings with about seven black dots, the 

 subapical one largest ; fringe as above, but duller. 



Length of body, .30 ; fore wing, .44-. 50 inch. Nevada. Edwards. 



This species may at once be recognized by the brick red hind 

 wings and underside of all the wings; the hairy front, and blunt, 

 hairy palpi.
