the outer one bordered externally with white ; then succeeds a pale, 

 brownish band, with a few black dots, composing an obsolete line, but 

 well marked on the costa ; beyond, a row of white spots, beyond 

 which is a broad ash band, like one just beyond the discal dot, which 

 is distinct, oval, black, and situated in a band of clear gray bordered 

 with scalloped dark lines. Beyond the extradiscal broad dusky 

 band, is a row of white spots succeeded by two rows of minute black 

 dots on a clear ash ground. A submarginal, distinct, white scalloped 

 line, and a marginal black line., consisting of two intervenular black 

 dots; the lines are externally edged with scattered groups of reddish 

 scales. The fringe is white, checkered with dusky. Hind wings pale 

 ash, outer edge dusky with a submarginal pale line ; edge of the 

 wing and fringe as in fore wings ; a minute linear discal dot. Be- 

 neath, four discal dots of equal size and very distinct ; both wings 

 pale whitish gray with two obscure extradiscal lines, and a submar- 

 ginal, diffuse, half effaced dusky line on both wings.

The fore wings are lanceolate oval, the outer edge of the wing 

 being very long and oblique, and as long as the inner edge of the 

 wing. It is russet brown, the vertex being considerably paler than 

 the front of the head and palpi. The antennas are finely ciliated 

 beneath. Fore wings russet brown, with dark scales along the veins 

 and their branches. No markings or transverse stripes. The discal 

 dot is large, round, black, distinct, and the wing is a little clear 

 towards the apex, both along the costal and inner edge. Along the 

 costa are faint brown spots, especially above the discal dot, where 

 four of them are slightly marked. Hind wings clear russet ash, paler 

 than the fore wings, but dusky along the inner edge; with three, short, 

 wavy lines, one at the inner angle, the other two approximate and 

 nearer the middle of the inner edge. A pale line along the middle 

 of the abdomen, interrupted by black dots; a similar stripe runs 

 along each side. 



Length of body, .42 ; fore wing, .54 inch. Edwards.

This pretty species is black, with three narrow, waved white bands 

 crossing the fore wings ; the two basal ones connect on the inner 

 edge of the wing, where they form a circular ring, enclosing a black 

 spot ; above, they are equidistant, and are dentate on the median
