FAM. ^GERIAD^. 



Fatua Palmii, n. sp. 



Allied to F. defmdata, but differing greatly in important particulars. 

 Fore wings are bright shining seal-brown, deep orange along the costa 

 for the basal half. At the middle of the wing at base is a narrow

 more narrowly so than in denudaia. The transparent space is golden 

 yellow in shade. Lower wings transparent golden yellow, with very 

 bright but dark opalescent reflection. The margin and spot at the 

 extremity of cell dark brown. Antennae bluish black, orange brown at 

 the base. Head, disk of thorax, and the upper portion of the abdominal 

 segments, black. Eyes black, palpi with black at their base. Front of 

 head, collar, sides and base of thorax, posterior edges of abdominal 

 segments bright orange. Feet and legs wholly orange without any 

 black bands. 



Exp. wings 45 m.m. Length of body 22 m.m i $. Enterprise, 

 Florida. Taken by Mr. C. Palm, to whom I dedicate the species.
