Pamphila barbara, sp. nov. 



Habitat: Bolivia. Expanse: 1 12 inches.

 Antennae dark brown, with white ahnulati >ns at base of each joint. Club 

 brown, white near base. 



General colour of upper surface blackish brown. Hind marginal 

 fringe of ground colour. 



Upper side of fore wing has an indistinct white dot in apical area. 

 Near centre of wing, under the end of discoidal space, are two prominent 

 white dots, the upper being under median, the other being in next lower 

 interspace, larger than the first and somewhat nearer base. 



Upper side of hind wing without markings. 



The hind marginal fringe of lower side of fore wing tends to grayish 

 with a white thread. The ground colour is dead blackish brown. The 

 costal area and apex are gray somewhat tinged with blue. There are 

 three subcostal white dots. The gray apical area is crossed by a series of 

 dots of the ground colour, parallel to hind margin and one-sixteenth inch 

 within it. The inner marginal area tends to grayish. The rest of the wing 

 is of ground colour, the two prominent white spots of upper side being 

 repeated. 



Under side of hind wing is gray, or, perhaps, dark brown, very 

 heavily dusted with gray scales. Across the centre of the wing, running 

 from centre of costa across to centre of hind margin and following contour 

 of hind margin, is a series of six interspacial bluish marks of considerable 

 prominence and bordered with a dark thread. The one bordering the 

 end of discoidal space has a distinct black border at its basal side, giving 

 the appearance of a black mark in centre of wing. The hind margin has 

 a band of the same blue shade, one-sixteenth inch wide and edged on 

 both sides by a blackish brown thread. Inner marginal area is gray and 

 not encroached upon by dark markings. Hind marginal fringe gray, 

 showing darker at ends of nervures.
