Form MARCIA. 
Male. — Expands 1.5 inch. 
Upper side red-fulvous, banded and reticulated with black ; the hind margin of 
primaries broadly bordered with black, through which runs a crenated line, or 
series of narrow crescents, either yellow- or red-fulvous, the one in upper median 
interspace large, the others often obsolete ; within the anterior edge of the 
border is a series of nearly equal and often confluent fulvous spots, extending 
from sub-costal to sub-median nervure, the lower spot sometimes pupillated with 
black ; next beyond is a broad, sinuous, fulvous band, sometimes macular; from 
the costa a subtriangular black patch covers the end of the cell, and is connected 
by an oblique line with a smaller patch on middle of inner margin; within the 
arc of cell is a black spot with interior fulvous spot or stripe ; in the middle of 
cell a double ring, and another below cell; and at base of and below cell rounded 
black spots. 
Secondaries have a black border of nearly even width, extending round outer 
angle, and inclosing near its anterior edge a yellowish crenated line, often mac¬ 
ular, and sometimes quite obsolete ; beyond is a series of seven large fulvous 
spots, each pupillated with black, the upper spot nearly or quite lost on the 
black ground at outer angle ; these are edged by a black line, almost always in¬ 
terrupted on the discoidal and upper.median interspaces; remainder of wing 
fulvous, the base black, and the outer portion of the basal area limited by black, 
irregularly chain-shaped spots, within which are similar spots crossing the middle
