Like the first vol- ume, it is simply a reproduction from scientific publications of the descriptions of new species which have fallen into my hands, with the addition of colored plates which are a neces- sary adjunct to satisfactory descriptive work of this nature. The first volume comprised species from Bolivia and a few from other districts. This volume is confined to spe- cies taken in the neighborhood of the Suapure River in Venezuela.

Head above black, with a white dot above each eye and one betwixt the bases of the antennae. Antennae black. Club black above, beneath brown, with tawny tip. Thorax and abdomen black or very dark brown above, beneath tawny brown. Upper side of fore wing tawny brown, with black markings. Costa black. Half way up the costa a black band runs downward, across the end of the dis- coidal space to the first submedian nervule, where it suffuses toward hind margin. Beyond this, on apical side, is an area of ground color of the same width. The apical area, representing one-fourth of the total wing area, is black, with a tawny brown dash in its central portion. In some specimens, owing to lack of any suffusion, this dash may be called a well-defined spot. The hind margin is bordered with black from apex down to the second submedian nervule, and in some specimens this extends to lower angle. The inner mar- ginal area is dashed with black. The median nervure is heavily black from the base up to the second submedian nervule. Upper side of lower wing tawny brown, with black markings. A black line one-sixteenth of an inch wide extends from the base of the wing along the costa nearly to the upper angle. The hind margin is slightly dentated or wavy, and has a black border one-sixteenth of an inch wide, broadening somewhat toward anal angle. From the inner margin near the base of the wing a line of inter- spacial black spots extends across the wing, curving upward to the upper angle. These are, in some specimens, quite indistinct, owing to being dusted with tawny scales. Under side of fore wing is governed by the markings of the upper surface. The black portions are not so dense and suffuse into the ground color. The band of ground color running from costa to hind margin is more yellow, and the apical area is tawny brown. At the apex is a patch of dull yellow, crossed 1 Entomological News, Vol. XVII, No.' 6, p. 195, June, 1906. OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. by a dark line which extends down to the lower angle one-sixteenth of an inch within the hind margin. On the under side of the hind wing, the black line noted on the upper surface is repeated. Below this, the area to the row of black spots is dull yellow. Below this spot the area to the black marginal border is light tawny. In the black hind marginal border is a wavy line extending from the anal angle through four interspaces. Variations. — The chief variations are due to the suffusing of the ground color on the black portion, or vice versa. Some specimens are more or less suffused, thus having the markings indistinctly out- lined. I have one specimen in which the row of black spots on lower wing is totally wanting on the upper surface, although it is slightly in evidence on the under surface. This species could not be found in the large collections of this country, nor the British Museum, nor has any description by a previous author been brought to light. Ithomia hamlini A. G. Weeks, Jr.1 (Plate 77, Two Figures^ Habitat : Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse : 2 inches. Head black, with a yellow dot behind the eyes, also one between the antennae. Eyes surrounded by a yellow thread. Antennae dark brown, merging to light brown towards club. Club black, with brown tip. Thorax above black, with a yellow collar and a yellow spot at junction of each costa; beneath, lemon yellow. Abdomen above black ; beneath, lemon yellow. Legs, black. Upper side of fore wing mostly transparent, marked with brownish black and yellowish transparent areas. Costa black, edged with brown along discoidal space. Discoidal space transparent, with a yellowish tinge. From the base of wing a dark club-shaped dash extends upward to centre of discoidal space. From the centre of costa a broad brownish black band extends downwards across the end of discoidal space, terminating at hind margin just above the lower angle ; the nervures and nervules in this band are black. Outside of this band is a broad transparent area, heavily dusted with lemon-yellow scales near costa. The apical area and hind marginal area are brownish black, with a slight suggestion of lighter spots in the interspaces near margin. The median nervure is brown. The inner marginal area below the median nervure is brown suffusing to dense black toward inner margin. The upper side of hind wing has the same colors. The hind margin is bordered with a sixteenth of an inch brownish black border, bearing suggestions 1 Entomological News, Vol. XVII, No. 6, p. 196, June, 1906. PLATE JI ITHOMIA HAML ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 3 of lighter spots in interspaces. Inside of this, toward the base of the wing, is a band of brown extending from the upper angle downward, and swinging across the wing to the anal angle parallel to hind margin. Still nearer th? base, bor- dering this brown band, a darker band runs across the wing horizontally, turning upward to the costa well outside the discoidal space. The discoidal space and the area surrounding it is transparent, slightly dusted with brown scales. The nervures and nervules are brown. The under side of both wings is the same as upper surface, except that the interspacial light spots along the hind margins are more distinct, being very prominent on the lower wing. Variations. — The sixty specimens in my collection show no varia- tion in size. The markings are identical in shape and location, but show considerable variation in their density and tendency to suffusion. The typical specimen above described is a fair average. Two figures are given to show variation. Thecla maidie A. G. Weeks, Jr.1 (Plate HI, Figure i.) Habitat : Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse: i.io inches. Female. — Head, palpi, thorax, and abdomen above, dark mouse color ; be- neath, light mouse color. Antennae black, with white annulation at base of each joint. Club black, with tawny tip. Legs light mouse color, with white annulations. Upper side of fore wing dark mouse color. The basal area slightly blue. Upper side of hind wing dark mouse color. Basal area light blue, dusted with mouse-colored scales, shading off to mouse color toward upper angle and hind margin. From the lower submedian nervule extends a delicate tail one- eighth of an inch long, tipped with white, and above it a similar but shorter tail extending from the submedian nervule. From anal angle a delicate white thread, following contour of hind margin, extends toward upper angle, disap- pearing almost midway. At anal angle is a tawny dot. Inner margin light gray. Under side of fore wing light mouse color. A conspicuous dark line bordered with a white thread on outer side extends downwards from near costa to sub- median nervule. The hind marginal area, for one-sixteenth of an inch inward, is somewhat lighter than ground color, and has suggestion of darker half circles in the interspaces. The inner margin is lighter than ground color, gradually shading into it. 1 Entomological News, Vol. XVII, No. 6, p. 197, June, 1906. 4 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. Under side of hind wing light mouse color. A dark line, dusted with tawny and bordered by a white thread on its outer side, extends from centre of costs to centre of second submedian nervule, then turning upwards to centre of inner margin. This line is jagged, with angles in each interspace, and forms a con- tinuation of the line on the fore wing, but more fully developed. There is a tawny spot at anal angle, blackish at angle. In interspaces, between the two tails, is another spot of lighter shade. The white marginal thread of the upper surface is repeated. The light hind marginal area of under side of fore wing is continued on hind wing. The hind margins have a slight fringe of the ground color.

Beyond this is an area of the ground color and then a prominent orange line or band running from a point just above the centre of costa towards hind margin, turning at median nervure and running down to inner margin one-sixteenth of an inch in from hind margin, forming nearly a semicircle. This line, the prominent feature of the markings, is broader at costa and terminates in a point at inner margin. The apical area, outside of this and the hind marginal area, is the same color as the discoid al spot, blackish. Upper side of hind wing is the same, except that the spots suffuse, nearly forming a band. The orange band of fore wing is continued, but narrower, ex- tending from upper angle to anal angle parallel to hind margin. The inner margin is of the ground color. The wings have a slight fringe of the ground color. The markings of the under side of both wings are similar to those of the upper surface, although slightly lighter.

Legs black above, brown beneath. Upper side of fore wing dark brown. Below the median nervure and border- ing on it is a prominent semitransparent white spot, nearly square. Above this, and nearly joining it, is a small white dot in the discoidal space. At the bases of the two interspaces above this large spot are two smaller white spots in a line drawn towards the apex. Below the costa, two-thirds the distance to apex, are two small white spots, the upper one merely a dot. These make a total of six spots. Upper side of hind wing dark brown. A dash of white, or rather a series of interspacial white marks, extends across the centre only of the wing in a line drawn from the upper angle to a point near the base on inner margin. This white area represents a small portion only of the total wing area. Hind margins have a slight gray fringe. Under side of fore wing the same as upper surface, except that below the large white spot is a space of similar size, heavily dusted with white scales, l Entomological News, Vol. XVII, No. 6, p. 199, June, 1906. 8 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. suffusing towards the hind margin. A similar, though less prominent, dusting of lighter scales appears outside the two subcostal spots. The lower half of under side of hind wing is dark brown. Above a line drawn from upper angle across the lower edge of the white spots and ending near the base of the wing the area is a creamy white, excepting the costal area, which is brown. The lower edge of this costal area is separated from the creamy white by a line drawn from base to upper angle, no suffusion whatever being apparent. In this creamy white area between the semitransparent spots and the inner margin is a dash of brown. " Described from five specimens in my collection taken in January, 1900. The white markings show no variation. This species re- sembles C. lafrenayi Latr., but the white markings on hind wing are not so large, and in lafrenayi the direction is from upper angle down- wards parallel to hind margin, not straight across the wing. The under side of hind wing varies in the location and extent of white markings. Methonella carveri A. G. Weeks, Jr.1 (Plate V.) Habitat: Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse: 1.50 inches. Male. — Head black.

Circles of grayish hairs at base of each segment of abdomen. There is a white dot at base of each antenna. Antennae dark brown, tip beneath gray. Legs nearly white. Upper side of fore wing dark brown, with nine white spots or markings, giving the wing almost a mottled appearance. The largest of these is at centre of discoidal space, strongly concaved on marginal side. Below this, in the next two lower interspaces, are two white spots. This row of spots is edged with very dark brown on basal side. Near the end of discoidal space, near costa, is a small white spot. There are two large white spots or markings in the first and second submedian interspaces, both of them more or less concaved on mar- ginal side. There are three apical white dots. Below them, near lower angle, is a well-defined marking of very dark brown. Upper side of hind wing is dark brown. Costa and portion of discoidal space close to base crossed by a heavy white band. Below this, near centre of wing, is a prominent white spot, with a smaller one adjoining it. A band of very light brown extends on each side of these spots towards upper angle and inner margin respectively, giving the appearance of a series of brownish spots. The hind margin, which is somewhat dentated and enlarged at anal angle, has a very irregular and jagged line of light brown, forming a series of interspacial light brown spots, extending from anal angle to upper angle.

The hind margin has a slight whitish line. Variations. — In some specimens the light brown marginal border or series of interspacial spots noted on upper surface of hind wing is continued upwards across marginal area of fore wing, but it is so vari- able in its definiteness that it may be considered a distinct band in some specimens, or a mere suffusion, in others. The small discoidal spot of fore wing is often joined to the larger one in the discoidal space. Taken in January, 1900. Pythonides hoyti A. G. Weeks, Jr.1 (Plate VI, Figure 2.) Habitat : Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse : 1.80 inches. Head, thorax, and abdomen above, dark brown, with golden brown hairs; beneath, light broven. Antennae dark brown. Upper side of fore wing brown. Across the discoidal space is a semitrans- parent spot of peculiar shape, straight on its basal side, but forked on its mar- ginal side, forming a figure |^. In the first submedian interspace is another similar spot somewhat nearer the hind margin. Above the upper point of this, in the interspace next above it, is a square spot. In the apical area are three subcostal elongated semitransparent spots, the uppermost and lowest ones being a little nearer hind margin than the central one. Near base, about one-third distance to apex is an indistinct band of dark brown running from costa to inner margin. Another band runs across the two lower interspaces between the first band and hind margin. Below the subcostal spots is a dusting of dark brown. This, with the band last mentioned, suggests a band across the wing broken by the white spots and ground color at central portion of the wing, this partially developed band being continued on hind wing. Upper side of hind wing brown, matching fore wing. The wing is crossed from costa to inner margin, by two darker bands, these being continuations of the bands of the fore wing. The basal and anal areas of the wing are covered with brown hairs, causing an apparent suffusion of the bands. Both wings have a fringe of the ground color. Under side of fore wing very light brown, excepting the costal and apical areas, which are darker. The spots of upper surface are repeated, also the dark bands. 1 Entomological News, Vol. XVII, No. 6, p. 202, June, 1906. PLATE VI. JHenyBlakc.tdnat.

Under side of hind wing the same as upper surface, except that the black border contains two white spots, one near the anal angle, the other midway to upper angle. Variations. — In the ten specimens in my collection there is scarcely any variation in the width or density of the black border. In some specimens the fore wing has a white spot at the inner edge of the hind marginal border, midway from apex to lower angle. The two white spots on under side of hind wing sometimes show on the upper surface. There is also a third spot between them. It is quite probable that in a large series of specimens these white spots would vary in number and development. It bears a close resemblance to M. eeletes. Bates, the black border being, however, much broader. 1 Canadian Entomologist, Vol. XXXVIII, No. 3, p. 77, March, 1906. 14 ILLUSTRATIONS OP UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. Euselasia howlandi A. G.

Upper side of fore wing mouse color, excepting an area within a line drawn from base along median nervure to a point one-quarter inch from hind margin, thence downward to inner margin, parallel to hind margin. This area, cover- ing one-third of the total wing area, is light gray, dusted with darker scales near the base. The hind margin has a slight mouse-colored fringe, becoming white near lower angle. Upper side of hind wing dark mouse color, the central area very slightly lighter. Hind margin dentated, and with a white fringe. Along the edge is a dark line slightly touched with tawny on basal side, lower margin grayish white. Under side of fore wing very light gray, with tawny markings. A prominent tawny line runs from costa downwards across the centre of the discoidal space to the junction of the lower submedian nervule, somewhat concaved, thence straight to inner margin. Beyond this line, nearer apex, is a similar line running from costa downwards across the end of the discoidal space nearly to inner mar- gin. A third line runs from costa to inner margin one-sixteenth inch from hind margin. The interspaces between this line and the line next nearer the base are heavily dashed with tawny, from a line of spots from the costa downward. The central spot of this series, in interspace above the second submedian nervule, is nearly absent. The margin is lined with tawny, the space to the first marginal line being somewhat darker, and dashed with white scales in the interspaces. Under side of hind wing very nearly duplicates the under side of fore wing in general appearance. The tawny line first above noted in fore wing is continued, starting on the costa near its base, and running downwards across the centre of the discoidal space, and then disappearing. The next tawny line runs down- wards from the costa across the end of the discoidal space to the first sub- median nervule, where it turns at a right angle and runs to the inner margin. This line is somewhat dentated in the interspaces. The area outside of this, to the marginal line, is very light gray, with a series of interspacial tawny dustings, a continuance of the same in fore wing. The hind margin has a white fringe, within which is a tawny line, and within that a fine, well-developed black thread following the dentated contour of the margin. 1 Canadian Entomologist, Vol. XXXVIII, No. 3, p. 79, March, 1906.

A black dash extends downwards towards centre of inner margin from the end of discoidal space. Marginal fringe very light brown. Upper side of hind wing dark brown. A series of four indistinct interspacial white spots extend from near upper angle across the wing towards anal angle. Marginal fringe very light brown. Under side of fore wing light brown, the lower half, especially towards the base, dark brown. The white dots of upper surface are repeated, the two lower ones more prominent, and in interspace below these is a dusting of light scales. Marginal fringe of ground color. Tips of nervules and nervures touched with black. Nervures and nervules of lighter color than ground color. Under side of hind wing light brown. The nervures and nervules distinctly lighter. The light spots of upper surface are joined, forming a line rather than a series of spots and extending upwards nearer to costa. Within this line and at centre of wing area is a light dot of similar color. The marginal fringe and border is the same as on fore wing. This species was found in the Godman collection unnamed, but was not in the British Museum or other large collections.

The first and third are covered with white or very light blue hairs, the central or second one having scaling only. The hind margin is well dentated towards anal angle, >he inter- spaces touched with white. Well within it is a line of blue scalings well broken by the nervules, a continuation of the same markings of fore wing. Near upper angle betwixt this line and the outer one of the three prominent dashes is a dash of blue scales, starting well below the costa and running a quarter inch downwards towards anal angle. Under side of fore wing black but not as rich as upper surface. General markings the same. Basal blue area of upper surface is represented only by blue at base of costa and a blue diagonal dash beyond. The inner marginal area is dark mouse color except towards lower angle. The dashes of blue noted in the two lower interspaces of upper surface are wanting. Under side of hind wing black. The appearance of the wing is quite different from upper surface as the prominent dashes of brilliant blue are quite altered. There are three bands, one starting at costa at base and extending downwards until by a slight inward curve it strikes lowest submedian nervule about midway to lower angle ; the next band runs downwards from costa, practically the same in area and extent as the first, ending at centre of wing area at the end of discoidal space ; the third band represents the hind marginal blue line of upper surface, but is much more prominent. Inner margin edged with brilliant blue. This species is very close to E. distant Herr. Schaff., and also E. pygmaleon Hew. The group is open to much interesting future work for those who locate in its region. Adelpha oronoco A. G. Weeks, Jr.1 (Plate XIV.) Habitat : Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse: i. 60 inches.

This band is the prominent feature of the i Canadian Entomologist, Vol. XXXVIII, No. 3, p. 76, March, 1906. 22 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. upper surface. The portion of this band in the interspace at the end of the dis- coidal space suffuses outwards a sixteenth inch towards hind margin. Above the end of this, in apical area, are two tawny spots. These spots might be con- sidered a portion of the band, but broken from it by an area of the ground color. The basal half of the wing, within the tawny band, is rich brown, excepting four black lines which cross the discoidal space in pairs, and a slight dash of black close to base. This dash is repeated in less degree in the next lower in- terspace. The pair of black lines next beyond this dash enclose a small space of dark tawny ; these lines are repeated in Ae first submedian interspace. The upper side of lower wing is of the same ground color, crossed by a very prominent band of white, an extension of the tawny band of the fore wing, and tapering somewhat as it approaches anal angle. The outer edge of this band at its upper portion is lightly dusted with tawny scales. The marginal area outside of this band is rich brown, crossed by three bands or lines of black parallel to one another and following the dentated contour of the hind margin. They join at the anal angle, where there is a prominent tawny spot. The inner marginal area is of the ground color. On the under side of fore wing the tawny band of upper surface is nearly white, with suffusions of tawny. The discoidal space is white, crossed by two heavy bands of tawny, edged with black. The costa is tawny. Subcostal space near base is white. The hind margin is slightly edged with black, within which is a tawny marginal band, becoming white in the two lower interspaces. Within this, at the apex, are two indistinct whitish spots, one below the other, and there are three more prominent white spots in the three lower interspaces. At the apex, nearer the base than these two whitish spots, are two more larger ones, representing the two tawny spots of the upper surface. The general ground color is blackish, with tawny suffusions. The markings of under side of hind wing are the same in location and limita- tion as on the upper surface. The general coloring, however, is much lighter. The white band of upper surface is repeated, showing no suffusion from sur- rounding areas. Nearer the base is a tawny band running from costa to anal angle. This band is edged with black. Nearer the base is a white band which runs from costa downwards along inner margin, edged with tawny black. The hind marginal area is brown, with a double row of interspacial white lines near the margin, and a band of tawny, edged with black on its basal side, extends from upper angle to anal angle, where it meets the tawny band first mentioned. At their junction they broaden somewhat into a bright tawny anal spot. This species is in the same group as, and resembles closely, A. aetbalia Feld. and A. tbesprotia Feld. PLAI J.

Thorax above black, with a prominent lemon-yellow spot at the junction with the costa of fore wings ; beneath, lemon-yellow. Abdomen nearly black above, with four lemon-yellow dots on the lower segments; beneath lemon-yellow. Legs black above, white beneath. Upper side of fore wing transparent, with tawny, black, and yellow markings. Costa black. Discoidal space transparent, with dusting of tawny scales towards the base, and a suggestion of a black spot near the centre. A heavy dusting of black scales extends from the costa downwards across the end of the discoidal space, suffusing to hind margin along the median nervure, and also along the first submedian nervule, somewhat tawny near the margin. Apical area black. Between the apical area and the band or dusting of black scales above noted the space is transparent, heavily dusted with brown scales near the costa. The space below median nervure to the hind margin is black, with tawny scales along the nervure. The upper side of hind wing has the same ground coloring. The upper half of the wing, including the discoidal space and its immediate surroundings, is transparent, the nervures and nervules being heavily dusted with lemon-yellow. The edges of this transparent area are black, the lower portion forming a band across the wing from the centre of inner margin nearly to the upper angle. This transparent area shows a tendency to extend downwards to hind margin in the first submedian interspace. Below this the area to hind margin is tawny. The hind margin has a generous black border, wavy on its basal edge. The under side of both wings is the same as upper surfaces, the dusting of lemon-yellow scales being more marked. At the apex of the fore wing are four 1 Canadian Entomologist, Vol. XXXVIII, No. 3, p. 78, March, 1906. 24 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. interspacial white spots, and in the black border of the hind margin of the lower wing is a series of prominent interspacial white spots. Variations. — This species varies greatly in the density and suffu- sions of its markings. The transparent area of the lower wing in some specimens extends downwards to hind margin, cutting off the black band and the tawny area at the first submedian nervule. The white spots at apex of the under side of fote wing are at times entirely wanting. Nymphidium quinoni A. G. Weeks, Jr.1 (Plate XVII, Figure i.) Habitat: Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse: i. 3 p inches. Head and thorax above, dark brown; beneath, white. Abdomen above, brown, slightly lighter than thorax; beneath, white. Antennae dark brown, with somewhat lighter tip and very minute white annulations at base of each joint. Legs white. Fore wings above creamy white, excepting the costal and hind marginal areas, which are light brown, with darker markings and spots. The brown of the costal area is well developed, covering nearly all the discoidal space, darker at costa than below. In the discoidal space close to the base is a black dot; beyond this, near centre of discoidal space, is a large black spot; at the end of discoidal space is a black line, and this line, with a little of the surrounding brown area, extends downwards into the creamy white ground color, forming a knob more or less prominent. The apical and hind marginal areas are light brown, edged with darker brown on the basal side. Down the central part of the brown hind marginal area runs a line of interspacial black dots. The hind margin bears a dark border distinctly touched with white at end of the first and the lowest submedian interspaces. Inner margin creamy white. Upper side of hind wing creamy white. The hind margin has a generous brown border, a continuance of the same on the fore wing and identical in every respect, including the interspacial black dots, the marginal white markings, etc. The under side of both fore and hind wings is the same in its markings as upper surface, but the white lacks its creamy tinge, and the marginal border is nearer mouse color than brown. The colorings of upper surface are repeated but decidedly deadened, and this deadening of under surface color is too well known to need any detailed description. The interspacial dark marginal spots are more prominent, owing to the lighter background. The dark edging of the hind margins is also more noticeable, and the white marginal spots of upper surface are much more prominent. l Entomological News, Vol. XVII, No. 6, p. 201, June, 1906.

The greatest variation, is in the "jutting" of the brown costal area into the creamy white ground area of fore wing, noted above as near end of discoidal space. The density of the brown of marginal border also varies. Taken in November, 1899. It resembles quite closely IV. pelops Cram. Patnphila chinoba A. G. Weeks, Jr.1 (Plate XVII, Figure 2.) Habitat: Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse: 1.12 inches. Head, thorax, abdomen, and legs dark brown above ; beneath, gray. Antennae dark brown, with gray on under side at club. Upper side of fore wing dark brown, with no markings excepting interspacial dark spots along hind margin. Upper side of hind wing the same as fore wing, excepting that the hind mar- ginal interspacial dark spots are more pronounced, and the edge of the margin is a little lighter than ground color. Under side of fore wing light brown, close to mouse color. The costal area shows a tendency to some lustre. The hind margin is edged with a black thread and a narrow border of gray. The interspacial dark spots of the upper surface of hind margin are repeated, but not prominently. Inner marginal area grayish. Under side of hind wing brownish gray, mottled with slight interspacial streaks of darker color. From the costa near upper angle an irregular dark band runs across to near the centre of inner margin. Another branch of this band extends from the same point on the costa down to the anal angle along the hind margin. Outside of this are repeated the interspacial dark spots of upper surface, being black and very prominent. The inner marginal area is light gray, with slight mottling towards anal angle. The hind margin has a dark thread. Variations. — In many specimens the marginal interspacial dark spots are practically wanting on upper surface. The hind margin is occasionally well bordered with gray hairs ; also there is a suggestion of three subcostal white spots on the fore wing, but none of the twenty specimens in my collection show them at all conspicuously. The under side shows but little variation except in the distinctness and depth of coloring of the dark bands.

Antennae nearly black, with indistinct white annulations at base of each joint. Club above black, beneath grayish. Legs light brown, with slight white annulations at joints. Upper side of fore wing dark brown, heavily dusted with grayish at basal and inner marginal areas. The apical area shows none of this dusting except as slight suffusion from basal side. A series of very prominent semitransparent white spots extends from centre of costa across the end of discoidal space towards lower angle. The first two of these are simply subcostal spots. The next lower is large, covering the entire end of discoidal space. Below this is another large spot, and between these, nearer the hind margin in first submedian interspace, is another but smaller spot. Near the apex are two white subcostal dots. The basal portion of discoidal space has a dark band extending down- wards to the centre of inner margin. A similar dark band extends from below the apical subcostal spots to the inner margin just outside the large white spots. These are often indistinct, but show their permanent character in their extension through the hind wing. The marginal fringe is generous, but of the ground color. Upper side of hind wing is same in color as fore wing, but the grayish hairs and scales quite cover the entire surface. A dark band runs from centre of costa across the wing to inner margin, just above the anal angle, following con- tour of the hind margin. Nearer the base, and barely crossing the centre of discoidal space, is a similar band. These two bands, as above noted, are con- tinuations of the dark markings or bands of fore wing. Under side of fore wing dark brown. The large white spots are more contigu- ous, more as a band. The two subcostal dots are repeated. The lower angle area is lighter than ground color, a branch of it extending upwards through the apical area to the costa. These markings are not prominent and are softened by suffusion. Under side of hind wing dark brown, the dark bands of upper surface being repeated but showing more suffusion. Inner marginal area lighter than ground color.

Upper side of fore wing rich dark brown, nearly black. Towards the apical and hind marginal areas the coloring becomes somewhat lighter, sufficient to show a series of dark interspacial markings along the hind margin. Within this, running from costa towards centre of hind margin, is another series of similar dark markings, forming a band. Still nearer base, and crossing end of discoidal space, is a suggestion of another dark band. These dark markings are so indistinct in a fresh specimen that they would be seen with difficulty. In worn or faded specimens they would, undoubtedly, be quite prominent. Upper side of hind wing very rich darfc brown. From the upper angle to anal angle extends a series of interspacial lighter dashes, following contour of the margin, and above these, near end of discoidal space, are two slight dashes also. These markings are almost too indistinct to warrant mention. Hind margins of both wings have a slight fringe of ground color. Under side of fore wing dark brown, but lighter and less rich than upper sur- face. The suggestions of dark markings are repeated. Inner marginal area a little lighter than balance of wing. Under side of hind wing the same dark brown, the lighter markings of upper surface being repeated. The basal area has a few indistinct mottlings. A colored plate of a species like this is absolutely necessary for anything approaching accurate identification. It may resemble Achlyodes castalus, Hew., but that has three sub- apical light spots, which do not appear at all in this, and on close inspection of the scale distribution on under side of hind wing con- siderable difference will be noticed.
