144 Tryon Reakirt on CoJoradian Butterflies. 



Midway between the discoidal cell and the outer margin, there are 

 three blackish, slightly ovoid spots, in the second, third and fifth 

 cells, that in the third much less than the others. 



The secondaries also present a narrow marginal band of brown 

 scales; the marblings of the under surface, seen through the semi- 

 diaphanous wings, under the basal half of the surface somewhat deeper 

 in color than the rest; a rounded black spot in each interspace between 

 the second sub-costal and the first median veinlet — four in all, of 

 which the two anterior are much the least. 



Under surface. Primaries dirty grayish-white tinged with pale 

 ochraceous ; the terminal band of the upper side is reproduced, but 

 very faintly, and also the three black spots, the upper being much en- 

 larged and pupilled with grayish-white; some indistinct traces of this 

 in the apical area ; the cells filled with wavy black and whitish streaks 

 and spots, principally congregated into five or six narrow transverse 

 bars, of which the third and fifth are the most prominent; a line of 

 flecks runs from the end of the cell to the middle of the inner margin, 

 between which and the base are other indistinct waves. 



Secondaries marbled with irregular markings of white, black, and 

 brownish scales, sometimes congregated into spots — at others, disposed 

 in transverse lines — the darkest portions nearest the base, the color 

 decreasing in color outwards; the waves from the outer border of the 

 transverse band are so interlaced, and contiguous, as to preclude all 

 possibility of tracing any inner outline to this band; this outer, is 

 more distinct, yet not nearly so well or clearly defined as in the allied 

 species; the reticulations appear to be diffused over the whole surface; 

 it, however, commences upon the costa. at a point, directly above two- 

 thirds the length of the first costal vein, descends by a very slight curve, 

 and almost at right angles to the costal margin, to the junction of the 

 lower disco-cellular, with the third median veinlet, is superimposed 

 upon this last, to its place of origin, and then traces a practically 

 straight line to the inner margin, which it reaches nearly opposite the 

 end of the body, in this respect differing very greatly from Chryxus, 

 its nearest American congener : the four black spots are reproduced ; 

 the two exterior, pupilled with white. Expanse 1.75 inches. 



Body black, ochreous on the under part of the abdomen. 



Ft iiuilc differs from the male, only in the presence of four black- 

 spots on the under side of the fore wings, all pupilled with white, to- 

 gether with those upon the under side of the secondaries. 



Expanse 1.69 inches.
