subequi distant, but the outer two converging on the hind wings 

 and bent abruptly outward at the subcostal nervure on the fore 

 wings, the outer double on the hind wings; the cell of the fore 

 wings is crossed by another feeble stripe between the inner two; 

 the outer margin is more or less obscured with blackish brown espe- 

 cially on the hind wings, where the outer stripe terminates in a 

 pair of more or less obscure transversely oval ocelli ringed with 

 white. Under surface dead leaf ($ ) or livid (9) brown, much en- 

 livened by lighter and darker clouds, the stripes of the upper sur- 

 face indicated more by light than by dark lines, excepting the 

 most conspicuous middle stripe of the hind wings, which is also 

 light-edged inwardly; large faintly indicated obsolescent ocelli 

 follow the outer margin distantly on both wings, most distinct op- 

 posite those of the upper surface. Expanse 85 mm. Mature Cater- 

 pillar : Head obscure yellow, with two black vertical streaks on 

 the face and a black ocellar spot, the coronal horns with short stiff 

 hairs. Body reddish brown except the ventral surface and the dor- 

 sal surface from the third abdominal segment backward, which are 

 yellow ; the sides are marked in front with round black spots, some 

 with an oblique white line through them; behind, on most of the 

 abdominal segments, with long, oblique, generally white-edged 

 black stripes. Length 36 mm. Feeds on Ficus and Anacardium. 

 Chrysalis : White or yellow, marked with dorsal and suprastig- 

 matal rows of pretty large black spots the whole length of the 

 body, besides a large laterodorsal spot on each side of the meso- 

 thorax, the filaments and cremaster black. Length 20 mm. — 

 Florida, Texas; accidental. 



Marpesia pellenis God. (M. eleuchea p. Htibn. ; Timetes 

 eleucha Westw.-Hew.) Butterfly : Upper surface of wings tawny, 

 crossed by three inequidistant slender black or ferruginous stripes, 

 the middle one of which is abruptly bent outward at the median 

 nervure of the fore wings, while the outer, which is double on the 

 hind wings, fades out on the upper part of the fore wings; the 

 cell of the fore wings is crossed more or less distinctly by three 

 other similar stripes; outer third of costal margin broadly bor- 

 dered with black; a submarginal blackish line on both wings, slen- 

 derer on the hind pair, and a brown gray field next the margin 

 in the median area of the hind wings enlivened by white-capped 

 transversely oval black and gray ocelli. Under surface lighter ($ ) 

 or darker (?) light dead-leaf brown with the stripes of the upper 

 surface more or less obscurely repeated in ferruginous, accompa-
