lower half of the cell ; the costal edge is mottled hlaek and white, the 

 outer edge is narrow!}' lined with black, before which is generally a 

 narrow faint band where the grayish scales predominate over the black. 

 The remainder of the wing is generally uniformly marbled, but in one 

 specimen ( % ) before me the narrow dark line bordering the inner half 

 of the outside of middle band continues on in a straight line to the outer 

 angle of the wing at the termination of the second subcostal nervule. 

 The eye of the upper appears again beneath, very prominently white- 

 pupilled. so much so as sometimes to appear almost altogether as a 

 white spot; the spots in the other interspaces are generally larger, more 

 prominent and paler; nervures not flecked with white.

It will be seen from this description that my specimens have eyes on 

 the upper side of the secondaries only in cell 2, except in one which 

 has a very indistinct one in cell 3, but that they all are delicately white- 

 pupilled; also that all the eyes of the under side of the secondaries of the 

 male as well as the female are white-pupilled, that of cell 5 distinctly; 

 further, that the eye of cell 2 on the under side of the secondaries in 

 the S is very prominently white-pupilled ; these are variations noted 

 from Mo.-<cher's description. 



I am inclined to accept Mb.scher's union of Jutfa with Balder, having 

 examined also a pair of specimens of this species from Russia, labelled 

 '■Bnldrr" by Menetries. kindly loaned me by Mr. Edwards.

9 . Head, thorax and abdomen black, with oohraceous hairs, mingled 

 with black ones on front of thorax. Antenna? light brownish-yellow, 

 faintly annnlated with white, the tip of club dusky. Palpi very pale 

 yellow, with hairs of same color, of moderate length, as long above as be-

 abundant and occurring both above and IjcIdw at the tip. Legs grayish ; 

 femora, except tip, darker. 



Wings above dull ochraceous-yellow. flecked with brown on the basal 

 half and along the costal and outer margin of primaries and the outer 

 angle of secondaries; beneath paler, secondaries marbled with brown 

 and gray, with a dusky middle band.
