Pedal iodes primer a, sp. no v. 



Habitat: Bolivia, near Cusilluni. Expanse, 2.25 inches. 



Head and palpi, dark brown, nearly black. Antennae, above, nearly 

 black j beneath, dark rust colour. Legs, brownish. Thorax, black with 

 brownish hairs. Abdomen, the same but lighter beneath. 



Upper side of fore wings, entirely dark blackish brown. The hind 

 margins are dentated, especially so on lower wings. The marginal 

 interspaces of fore wings have a prominent white thread. 



The ground colour of under side of fore wings is dark brown. The 

 marginal interspaces have a prominent white thread. There is a silvery- 

 white dash near apex, starting on costa, practically at the apical point, 

 extending towards base for one quarter inch and suffusing into the wing 

 for one quarter inch. Below this is an interspacial white speck. Nearer 

 the base, one sixteenth inch inwards from this silvery-white area, the 

 subcostal interspaces show whitish owing to a generous dashing of white 

 scales. The discoidal space is rather light rusty brown, suffusing into 

 lower interspaces. Under the first disco-cellular nervule, practically in 

 the centre of hind marginal area, is a rusty circle, one quarter inch across, 

 of same colour as discoidal space. Inner margin is somewhat grayish.

 dashes and wavy lines of silvery white, hard to describe accurately. The 

 lower third of the wing, covering anal angle area, is heavily covered by

 one-third inch from hind margin, is a prominent white dot, repeated in 

 next lower interspace, but smaller. Above the anal area which bears the
