points toward the tip of the wing; then further toward the base is another 

 spot, and below this and still further toward the base is a spot made up 

 apparently of two coalesced; below this and outward, nearer the exterior 

 margin, is the last spot, which is usually square in shape. In one male 

 the coalesced spot is nearly obsolete; the inferiors are immaculate. The 

 wings are edged with a narrow black border, and the fringes are gray- 

 ish; some of the hairs from the black border run through the fringes 

 from the wings, giving the edge of the wings a scalloped appearance. 

 Underside: the spots above are repeated beneath; the wings beneath are 

 much lighter in color, and the inferiors have two black bands running 

 across them. 



This is a smaller species than bathyllus, and is a different color; 

 it wants the inner costal spots found in bathyllus andfa/ades, and 

 leaving out the inner costal and discal spots it has eight spots 

 remaining, and none of the allied species have this many. That 

 it is a new species is very apparent to the eye, but is one of those 

 difficult things to picture in words. From five specimens, two 

 males and three females, taken by Prof. Edw. T. Owen, at Fort 

 Klamath, Oregon, I take pleasure in naming this species after 

 the wife and eldest daughter of Prof. Owen.

A NEW PAPIRIUS. 



Plate IV. 



By F. L. HARVEY, Orono, Me. 



Papirius unicolor n. sp. Light brownish purple throughout; color much 

 like that of the Delaware grape with the bloom removed. Back, ends 

 of the legs and apical half of the antennae darker. Dorsum often with 

 two interrupted stripes of darker shading. Head, base of antenna, base 

 of legs, spring and ventral surface lighter; one specimen had the two 

 terminal segments of the antennae conspicuously clear. Young, half- 

 grown specimens and full-grown specimens in damp situations paler. 

 Occasionally a very large specimen and those taken in dry places, are 

 more brown, but all show the purple tint; sides of the full-grown speci- 

 mens often obscurely marked with paler oblong spots. 



Body, including head, twice as long as broad; breadth and depth equal; 

 gradually widening from the neck to the greatest breadth, abruptly nar- 

 rowing with a slight re-entering angle to the conspicuous terminal seg- 

 ments. 



Head, viewed from front, as long as broad; depth lull tin- length. 



/'ye patches prominent, elevated black, conspicuous, bearing eight 

 ocelli; four in the inner row, three in the outer, and a single smaller one
