21. E. youiigi sp. nov. 



(5 1 The upper side of both wings is dark velvety brown, almost black. 

 The primaries are marked by a short, but relatively wide submarginal 

 band of red spots, extending from the upper radial to the first median 

 nervule, each spot pupilled with black. On the secondaries there is a 

 submarginal series of similarly colored, rounded spots, most conspicuous 

 between the median nervules, but not confluent, as on the primaries. On 

 the under side the wings are a little paler than on the upper t side. The 

 primaries have the band of submarginal red spots of the upper side repro- 

 duced on this side, but the spots, while more confluent, if possible, than 

 on the upper side, are less sharply outlined. The secondaries are crossed 

 by a broad curved, median, dark band, defined both externally and in- 

 ternally by narrow black lines. This band is followed externally by a 

 paler band, the ground-color being more or less profusely dusted with 

 hoary scales, giving this band a grayish appearance. Succeeding this 

 grayish band is a moderately wide marginal band of dark brown, of 

 approximately even width along the outer margin of the wing. The 

 ocelli of the secondaries are only faintly indicated on the under side as 

 minute black points, corresponding in location to the black pupils of the 

 red spots on the upper side. 



9 The female is a, trifle less dark upon the upper side of the wings- 

 than the male, with the ocellated red spots more strongly developed on, 

 both the upper and under sides of the wings. The marginal dark band 

 on the lower side of the secondaries is, in the specimen before me, more 

 sharply defined internally than in the males, and is darker; so that the 

 hoary band between the dark median band and this outer band stands 

 forth very conspicuously and very clearly defined.

The species is not far from E. dabancnsis Erschoff (cf. Ro- 

 manoff, Mem. sur les Lepidoptrees, Vol. I, PI. XXI, Fig. i), 

 and it has some resemblance to E. vidlcri Elwes, with a speci- 

 men of which, in the possession of Dr. Skinner, I have coin- 

 pared it. It is, however, plainly distinct from both of these 

 species.

One of the females agrees fairly well with the type of O. 

 calais Scudder. The others grade off toward the common Colo- 

 rodan forms, but are dingier in color than most examples from 

 Colorado. The solitary male does not differ materially from
