In this form the central black dot of the primaries is surrounded by 

 orange-tawny — in the type, and in the following semi-species it is 

 placed half upon each. 

 var. negrcta, m. 



Male. — This, in addition to the difference in the situation of the 

 black spot of the fore wings, mentioned above, has a large black dot at 

 the termination of the hind wings' cell, and is deprived of the three 

 submarginal white spots upon the same, that are found in var. pava- 

 meyisis. The under surface is similar to the upper, with the addition 

 of the black line running along the costal and postcostal veins, as in 

 the type, here, however, much widened, and connected with the spot 

 at the end of cell by a short bar. Expanse 2.25 inches. 



The oval black corneous patch is also present, as it is throughout all 

 the S forms of the species.

var. annpliissa, Herrich-Schteffer. 



Iphianassa, var. Hewitson, Ithomia, XV. f. 91. (1855.) 



Differs from the usual form of Iphianassa only in the quantity of 

 black with which the wings are suffused. 



The black spots of the primaries are much enlarged, and the " curve! 

 line of orange near the outer marii:iii" is obsolete. 



The ground color of the secondaries is orange ; the broad stripe of 

 this color traversing the black hind margin in var. Iphianassa Doubld. 

 is nearly obliterated; an oblong semi-transparent yellowish-white spot 

 between the black spot at the extremity of the cell and the black outer 

 margin.

var. pumcnsis, in. 



Male. — Differs from the following and most abundant variety of the 

 species in having the black spots considerably enlarged, and, with the 

 exception of the apical yellow band, in being of a uniform tawny-orange; 

 the "oblong transparent spot between the second and third median 

 nervules" is reduced to a mere dot. 



The secondaries present a row of three apical, small, rounded, white 

 spots upon the black margin. Expanse 2.85 inches.
