STEORnSTOPIS SEPTJLTA. 33 



streak, separated by scarcely more than its own width from the outer border, 

 becoming narrower toward the costal and inner borders, and especially towards 

 the costal; it is broken at the upper median nervule, where the upper portion joins 

 a second broader band, separated by a space nearly equal to itself from the sub- 

 marginal band; this leaves a nearly equal light band in the outer part of the wing, 

 broadest above and reaching from the costal border, almost to the inner; along 

 the middle of this belt is a series of six round dark spots and ocelli, one in each 

 of the interspaces excepting the costo-subcostal ; the largest is in the lower 

 median interspace, and is a spot nearly as broad as the interspace, deepening 

 toward the centre to a black pupil ; the next largest, in the upper median inter- 

 space, is an ocellus with a black pupil, immediately followed by a pale annul us, 

 again surrounded by a dark ring of equal diameter, the whole a little more than 

 half the width of the interspace ; next larger are two spots of less intense depth of 

 color, one in the upper subcostal, the other in the subcosto-median interspace, about 

 one-tin i-d the width of the interspace, the upper deepening, the lower becoming 

 paler at the centre; the spot in the lower subcostal and the medio-submedian 

 interspace are equal and smallest, about one-fourth the width of the interspace, 

 and consist only of rather faint, powdery marks, a little darker towards their 

 centres. The fringe of this wing seems to be preserved and is short, nearly 

 equal, dark, resembling a repetition of the submarginal streak.

 costal nervules, 5'55 mm '; rows of scales in the subcostal region of the fore 

 wings, -075 mm - apart; length of thorax, 5 mm -; of hind femora, 4-6 mm -; of hind tibi3
