General color of the imago, chocolate brown; antenna black 
specked with white internally; thorax brown, with a white collar 
and a carious metallic purple reflection. The abdomen is brown 
white at the base, and variously wliite-specked above, almost wholfl 
white beneath. 
The fore wings are of the general color, minutely specked with 
bluish white, especially along the costa, and crossed by two trans¬ 
verse white bands beyond the origin of the fissure, the inner of 
which is the wider, although both are frequently reduced to narrow 
lines, or occasionally obsolete. The fringe of each lobe of this win 
is black, with a large cream-colored patch at the apex, except that 
that of the posterior lobe is white on the proximal half. The 
slender posterior lobe of the hind wing is brown at the base, white 
in the middle, and black on the terminal third, except for a cream- 
colored patch upon the fringe of the apex. The markings beneath 
repeat substantially those of the upper surface. 
Specimens obtained May 28, pupated on the leaves from June i 
to 11. They commenced to emerge on the 18th, and had completed 
their transformations by the 18th of that month.
