Not illustrated. 1905 Excerpt: ... entire upper side of both wings is dark brown. In a very strong light there is some lustre in basal areas. The hind margins have a white interspacial border, quite prominent. Under side of fore wing light brown, much lighter than upper surface. The prominent marking is abroad band of darker shade crossing centre of wing and extending across lower wing also. The basal area is light brown. A soft dark brown line or band crosses centre of discoidal space, extending to inner margin, but nearer base after leaving discoidal space and more indistinct. The end of discoidal space is marked by a fine thread of the same color. Running from costa, one-quarter inch outside from discoidal space, is a line of dark brown ending at submedian nervure. The area between this line and discoidal space is darker than ground color, being darkest at the line and shading to lighter baseward. Outside of this line, is an area of brighter brown, bordered onequarter inch inside of hind margin by a jagged dark thread. Through the centre of this area, from costa to inner margin, is a series of six interspacial white dots surrounded by dark brown. The hind margin is bordered by a white thread. The under side of hind wing is of same ground color as fore wing, the band of fore wing being somewhat more prominent. The inner edge of this band is bordered by a dark line running from costa, one-third inch from base, and ending near centre of inner margin. The line bordering outer edge extends from centre of costa to end of discoidal space, turning there toward inner margin, and ending one-third inch above anal angle. The outer portion of the wing duplicates the fore wing except that the spots are only five in number and are much more prominent. Taken in May, 1899. Adelpha helepecki A. G. Weeks, ...
