nied by a series, distant from the margin, of large shadowy ocelli, 

 at all distinct only next the anal angle of hind wings. Expanse 

 S 60, ? 75 mm. Caterpillar feeds on Ficus. — Texas, New Mexico, 

 Florida; occasional. 



§ Ttmetes Boisduval. Butterfly : Costal margin of fore wings gently con- 

 vex; upper outer angle of hind wings in no way emarginate and yet the 

 anterior portion no longer than the posterior part of the fore wings and 

 very much shorter than the much produced inner margin, disregarding the 

 lohe ; tails tapering or rounded apically. Prevailing colors dark brown. 

 Caterpillar feeds on Maclura and Morus. (tj/ujjt7]j, an appraiser of values; 

 allusion obscure.) 



Marpesia coresia God. (M. zerynthia Hiibn. ; Pap. sylla 

 Perty.) Butterfly: Upper surface of wings obscure ferruginous 

 brown at the base, deepening outwardly nearly to the border to 

 black-brown, in which, next its outer limit, is a slender, straight, 

 brown stripe, very faint on the fore wings; outer margin broadly 

 ferruginous brown, the hind wings with a pair of slender sub- 

 marginal blackish brown stripes, sharply angulated at the tail. 

 Under surface with the basal half silvery white, sharply delim- 

 ited, with two parallel slender ferruginous threads across it fol- 

 lowed by a narrow, outwardly black-edged brownish red stripe, 

 the edging deeply crenate; outer half chocolate-brown with the 

 premarginal stripes of the upper surface repeated dully. Ex- 

 panse 65 mm. Early stages: Unknown. — Texas, New Mexico; 

 occasional. 



Marpesia chiron Fabr. (Megalura c. Blanch. ; Pap. marius 

 Cram.; Marpesia chironias Htibn.) Butterfly: Upper surface of 

 wings brown, with four common, straight, equidistant, tapering, 

 transverse, blackish brown stripes, the outer two curving inward 

 on the median area of the hind wings, the whole apex of the fore 

 wings blackish, crossed by two parallel distant series, one of three, 

 the other of two, minute white spots, the hind wings with a pair 

 of submarginal black stripes (blended on the fore wings) and two 

 subocellate transverse spots above anal angle, besides a minute 

 orange-centred longitudinally oval spot at extreme angle. Basal 

 half of under surface dull lilac-white, with four subequidistant 

 transverse ferruginous threads crossing it, beyond the outer of 

 which the white is changed to very pale yellow ; outer half 

 very pale reddish brown faintly cross-striped with iridescent lilac, 

 with a pair of slender premarginal reddish stripes; the white spots 

 of the apex are cloudily repeated on the fore wings, the ocelli,
