A. New Hesperid. 

 By KARL R. COOLIDGE and VICTOR L. CLEMENCE. 



Achalarus pseudocellus, spec. nov. 



$, Upper surface of primaries, brownish-black, somewhat lighter 

 along the external margin, and sparsely dusted with whitish atoms; 

 a macular band extending from costa across end of cell and abruptly 

 terminating about 2.5 mm. from lower angle ; this band is divided by 

 the nervules into five spots as follows: first, quadrate; second, elon- 

 gate; third, with the nervules, y-shaped, and projecting outwardly; 

 fourth, quadrate; and the fifth, triangular; the formation of this band 

 is similar to that of cellus and is quite regular, the fifth spot, however, 

 varying considerably in size and shape; color of first spot, pure yellow; 

 the second, orange, slightly tinted with yellow anteriorly; the others 

 all orange; midway between this band and the apex a small procurved 

 whitish-yellow bar; otherwise immaculate. Secondaries concolorous 

 with primaries, immaculate. Fringes of primaries at lower angle 

 whitish, becoming black checkered as they approach the apex, where 

 there is usually a distinct whitish patch of fringes. Fringes of sec- 

 ondaries checkered black and gray. Primaries beneath with spots re- 

 produced; color as above but considerably lighter along outer margin 

 and dusted sparsely with grayish scales; inner angle clouded with buff; 

 in some specimens a distinct whitish point below bar of costa, and in 

 others another similar point immediately outward of end of costal bar; 

 one or both of these may reappear faintly on the upp^r surface. Sec- 

 ondaries beneath brownish ; two irregular, wavy dark brown bands, 

 heavier than the ground color; between these bands and along the 

 outer margins the coloration is pallid ; scattered gray scales, heavier 

 at anal angle than elsewhere. Fringes of primaries beneath as above; 

 on secondaries the fringes are brownish, the whitish of above being 

 greatly diminished. Antennae brown, with a white color at base of 

 club; beneath whitish-yellow; thorax and abdomen dark brown; palpi 

 yellowish-gray.
