XL. p. 458), " ((lis ca)i(l((tis, ciliis albis, fiisco intersectis" seeming to furuisli a 

 clue. So far as my observation goes, the only Nacadt'ha to whidi these wordh 

 apply is the species beft>re me. 1 do not know N. palmyra Feld., save by his 

 description and the figure, which is that of a female, and wholly unlike the insect 

 aliove described, if the text and plate are safe guides.

? . The body ou the upperside is black, more or less clothed with bluish hairs ; 

 on t!ie underside the body is pale grey. The legs are whitish, streaked and ringed 

 with grey. The first and second joints of the palpi are white, the third joint is black. 

 The front is white. The antennae arc black, ringed below with white. The wings 

 on the upperside are dark fuscous, shading on the costa of the primaries and the 

 outer margins of both wings into black. Both wings at the base arc shot with 

 ro3-al purple, only vi.sible in certain lights. On tlie underside both wings are 

 broadly yellowish ochraceous. The primaries have a discocellnlar brown bar, edj^ed 

 on both sides by fine pale yellow lines ; a discal catcnulate transverse l)and, bowed 

 out before the end of the cell, and running from the costa to the snbmedian nerve, 

 the spots composing it colom'cd and defined as the bar at the end of the cell. In 

 addition there is a double series of submargivial fuscous markings defined on both 

 sides by light poorly defined lines. The inner row of these markings is very 

 uniform in size, more or less quadrate, and larger than those composing the outer 

 row, which are small and distinctly lunulate. The fringes are dark fuscous. The 

 secondaries on the underside have a snbbasal series of three subqnadrate spots, a 

 discocellnlar bar, and a discal curved scries of spots, all of which are defined more 

 or less sharply on both sides by pale yellow lines. The double series of marginal 

 markings of the primaries is continued upon the secondaries. The inner row is 

 strongly accentuated on the side toward the base by broad, pale yellowish transverse 

 lines or bands, the outer row of lunnles is composed of spots gradually increasing in 

 size from the outer angle, until they culminate in a large ocellus, between veins 

 2 and 3. The two spots antecedent to this ocellus are distinctly occlliforni. The 

 large ocellus is black, ringed with yellowish, and without any blue-green scales. 

 There arc two minute black lunular markings at the anal angle. 



Expanse 25 mm. 



Type unique. 



There is no male in the collection corresponding to this insect, and. so far as I 

 know, there is nothing jnst like it which has hitherto been described or figured. 

 The broadly yellowish ochraceous tint of tlie underside is very characteristic.
