very slight fringe of ground color. Upper side of hind wing dark 

 brown without markings. Under side of fore wing dark brown but 

 much lighter than upper surface. There is a tendency to lighter shad- 

 ing towards apex. The subcostal spots are the same as on upper sur- 

 face, but the spots nearer base are more prominent. The two sub- 

 median spots are also repeated, the lower one suffusing slightly to- 

 wards the inner margin. Under side of hind wing dark brown with 

 a suggestion of rust color, the basal area of lighter color with a blotch 

 of the ground color near the costa. In the outer wing area is an 

 irregular light band of basal area color, somewhat ill defined, extend- 

 ing from near the centre of inner margin to a point a little below the 

 upper angle, nearly imperceptible as it approaches angle. Expanse, I 

 inch.

One specimen is in the British Museum, unnamed. 



Atrytone chingachgook sp. n. 



Head and palpi above, dark brown ; beneath, white touched with 

 rust color. Antennae dark brown tipped with rust color. Thorax and 

 abdomen dark above, dark brown ; beneath, a lighter brown. Upper 

 side of fore wing, dark brown matching thorax. Near apex, in inter- 

 spaces below the costa, are three or four rust colored spots, extending 

 in a line downwards in the direction of lower angle, followed by three 

 larger whitish spots running in a line and increasing somewhat in size 

 towards base, the whole forming an imperfect semi-circle around the 

 end of discoidal space. Margin slightly fringed with dark brown hairs. 



Upper side of hind wing dark brown without markings, matching 

 ground color of fore wing. Marginal fringe the same. Under side 

 of fore wing shows spots as on the upper surface. The apical area 

 and costa rust color. The area below the median nervure and to the 

 lower angle is dark mouse color, approaching black near the base. Un- 

 der side of hind wing rust color. From upper angle extending across 

 the wing to centre of inner margin is an indistinct lightish line or band, 

 dusted with rust color and more or less prominent on different speci- 

 mens. Slightly nearer base is another similar line reaching inner 

 margin midway between termination of first band and the base. Ex- 

 panse, 1. 12 inches.
