A NEW EUDAMUS. 



By Dr. HENRY SKINNER, Philadelphia. 



Eudamus outis n. sp. This species is somewhat smaller than bathyllus, 

 but in color comes closer to moschus and hippalus. If the recent subdi- 

 visions of the genus are accepted it would go in the genus Cogia along 

 with hippalus. It expands one and three-eights inches (distance from 

 middle of thorax to apex of wing doubled). The superior wings have 

 the same translucent white spots common to this section of Eudamus. 

 There are three of these spots on the outer third of the costa, and a 

 smaller point below and toward the outer margin. In the centre of the 

 costa is a linear spot which runs parallel to the costa; below this in the 

 cell is the largest spot of all and hour-glass in shape: below this, and not 

 in line, is another spot; the eighth and last spot is in the centre of the 

 outer half of the wing. In one specimen the discal spot is divided. The 

 inferiors are immaculate, and have a small tuft or pencil of hairs arising 

 from the base of the abdominal fold. Fringes cinereous. Underside: 

 superiors with the same translucent spots as above. Inferiors as in the 

 other allied species. It may be readily distinguished from the other spe- 

 cies of Eudamus (except hippalus) by the tuft of hairs on the secondaries. 

 Differs from hippalus in not having the characteristic white fringes of in- 

 feriors and is a much smaller species being only about one-half the size. 



Described from four males taken in Blanco County, Texas, 

 Aug. 27, 1894. Types in author's collection.
