222 PROCEEDINGS OP THE ACADEMY OF 



nervures between being black ; both wings marked and spotted with black as 

 in Cybele and allied species ; the marginal spots are lanceolate on primaries ; 

 on secondaries the mark in the cell takes the form of an S. Under 

 side : base and inner margin of primaries bright red fulvous ; towards the 

 apex buff; six silver triangles within the hind margin next apex, each sur- 

 mounted with black, and three silver spots on the costa ; the anterior one mi- 

 nute. 



Secondaries cinnamon brown, somewhat mottled with buff, and having a 

 green tinge next abdominal margin ; between the two outer rows of silver 

 spots a broad, immaculate, bright buff belt; hind margin yellowish brown; 

 the silver spots are twenty-one in number, all but those next the base heavily 

 bordered above with black, viz : seven marginal spots, which are edged below 

 also with black ; a second row of eight spots, the one next the abdominal margin 

 small and about the size of the fifth ; a third row of three large spots, a black 

 point between the first and second from costa ; preceding these is a circular spot, 

 and nearer the abdominal margin an oval, both ringed with black ; above, near 

 the base, a light spot or bar of silver divided by the sub-costal nervure ; costa 

 at base broadly, and abdominal margin very lightly silvered; body above same 

 dusky fulvous as the base of the wings; below light red brown ; antennae long, 

 club massive, dark brown, tipped with fulvous. 



Rocky Mountains, and Mountains of California. 



This is much the largest of the Pacific species, equalling the largest speci- 

 mens of Cybele. In color it most resembles Aphrodite. The female I have not 

 seen. 



Grapta Faunus, nov sp. 



Expands two inches. 



Primaries deeply emarginate on both hind and inner margins ; a prominent 

 rounded tail on the middle of secondaries and a smaller one between this and 

 the anal angle. 



Male. Upper side deep orange fulvous, paler next apex of primaries ; base 

 of both wings and abdominal margin of secondaries a little dusky, the latter 

 clothed with long hairs ; primaries have a broad black hind margin, dilated at 

 the apex, bordered within by a series of obsolete tawny lunules ; on the inner 

 margin a large black spot joins the marginal band, there enclosing a tawny 

 spot ; on the costal margin near apex, a broad abbreviated bar, black without, 

 ferruginous within, runs obliquely back almost to the marginal band ; from the 

 middle of the costa a broad black bar extends to the median nervure, covering 

 the arc ; within the cell two round black spots in a transverse line and a third 

 a little back of the same line near inner margin, divided unequally by the 

 third median nervule ; in the median interspaces, two rounded black spots 

 placed nearly at right angles to the first three ; costal edge of both wings and 

 the incision of inner margin of primaries sprinkled with black and tawny ; the 

 hind margin of secondaries is black slightly tinted with fulvous, clouded with- 

 in, and passes gradually into the basal color, occupying nearly half the wing ; 

 costal margin broad and brownish black ; on this is an elongate black spot, be- 

 low which, nearer the cell, is a second, and in the middle of the wing a third, 

 divided by the nervure ; fringe white in the emarginations. 



Under side. EotA wings dark brown next base, with an irregular common 

 blackish band across the middle, darkest on its outer edge and within the ab- 

 dominal margin, where its outline is obliquely serrated ; beyond this band, the 

 color is paler brown mottled with grey white, which is clearest on costa of pri- 

 maries ; the whole surface clouded with vinous, and more or less crossed by 

 fine abbreviated streaks of dark browu ; apex of primaries yellow brown, with 

 three small, lanceolate, ferruginous spots, the lower one enclosing a blue or 

 green point; the hind margin of both wings, below these, is bordered by a se- 

 ries of confluent blue black, sometimes olive green spots, following the outline 

 of the wing ; a little anterior to this, another series of rounded spots of same
