766 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
the apical black patch an much larger, with more diffuse margins, and are increased 
in number by the addition of one between the tir.>t and second at the extreme 
tip of the win-;. 
Becondaries pure white: all the veins black, with ■ narrow submarginal band, 
most remote from the margin about the middle of the outer edge. Occasionally the 
veins arc intensely black, with the scales spreading more or less over the disk of the 
wing, in which case there are many powdery black scales, most concentrated along 
the outer and inner margins, the former in this case having a narrow terminal black 
line. Fringes white. 
In occasional specimens there are traces along the costa and on the outer margin 
between the nervules of the red markings so characteristic of the female. 
Female. — The primaries differ from the male by the extension of the black apical 
patch to the inner angle, it gradually narrowing thereto from the second median 
Dermic, and containing a small white spot between the first and second median 
nervules. The same ornamentation is repeated beneath. 
The secondaries above are white, with a marginal and submarginal narrow black 
band; the nervules, black between these bands, dividing the inclosed space into

six unequal lunules, as in the male beneath ; the outer band sometimes faintly inter- 
rupted between the veins with a few orange or brick-red scales. 
Beneath, all the veins are broadly black, as are both the outer bands, reducing 
the white spaces to a series of narrow intervenular patches and six reduced outer 
lunules, giving the wing a very gray appearance. On many specimens there is no 
red at all; on others the whitish costal openiugs and a small patch in the terminal 
black band between each of the nervules are of a brick-red. 
Habitat.— Country round Spokane Falls, Washington, July 26.

Mr. Strecker's figure very fairly represents the upper side of the females here 
described, but the under side is totally unlike, so far as the secondaries are concerned. 
In all I have seen from the locality quoted there is more black than white on the
