blackish mixed with whitish and olivaceous hairs. Fore wings at base pale, 

 like the thorax ; median space deep olivaceous, defined at the sides and narrow- 

 ing to internal margin and showing a black discal streak. Beyond, the wing is 

 as at base, enclosing a narrow subterminal olivaceous band spreading on the 

 costal region over the apex. Hind wings bright deep yellow, deepening in 

 color to the anal angle, with a distinct defined black marginal band, tolerably 

 even, the fringes tipped with white hairs. 



Length of fore wing, 18 m. m. 



A specimen collected by the late G. E. Crotcli in British Columbia, 

 and contained in the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zo- 

 ology, Cambridge. 



Philampelus (Dupo) mirificatus Orote. 



S . — Intense olive green. Tegulae with clear white edging. Abdominal 

 segments neatly edged with white and with a dorsal white shade line. Fore 

 wings concolorous olive green, with the veins more or less completely marked 

 with white. An inner distinct oblique transverse band composed of two dis- 

 tinct white lines ; a discal white mark containing the usual dot on the cross- 

 vein. An exterior rounded white transverse band composed of two white 

 lines, the inner a little dilfuse. A white shade runs inwardly from the apex to 

 cell 6 where it joins the outer component line of the external transverse band ; 

 it appears issuing from the band again on cell 3 and runs thence outwardly to 

 internal angle. An incomplete terminal wdiite shading along the external 

 margin and the fringes are partly whitish. Hind wings olivaceous with white 

 fringes. There is a blackish discal shade spot. A treble subterminal series of 

 blackish interspaceal shade marks converging superiorly and widening infe- 

 riorly; the inner series terminating in a large spot before the rose colored 

 patch along internal margin ; the outer two series becoming obsolete inferiorly, 

 replaced by two whitish shade lines, which faintly separate the series of 

 black marks. This subterminal series of black marks is well removed from 

 the external margin leaving an intense olive green terminal space which nar- 

 rows to anal angle and is very much broader than usual superiorly. Beneath 

 dull red with a common exterior transverse darker line slightly accentuated 

 on the veins. On the fore wings an oblique line from the apices joins this 

 darker line and again appears faintly inferiorly, repeating the course of the 

 white marks of the upper surface at this place. Abdomen beneath and tho- 

 racic squamation roseate. Fore tibiae and tarsi white outwardly. Orbits of 

 the eyes white. 



Length of primary, 50 m. m. Hahitat, Cuba (Chas. Wright), in 

 Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



Allied to P. posticatus, P. Linnei and P. strenuus, from all dif- 

 fering by the Avhite linear bands on the fore wings and their apical 

 white line, and by the distinctly white banded abdomen and tegulae.
