four near centre of wing and in line with the hind margin, the lower three 

 somewhat nearer base. Inside the upper four spots, nearer base, and in the dis. 

 coidal area, are two more similar spots less distinct. In interspaces at hind mar- 

 gin is a Series of lightish lunules surrounded by dark brown, all quite indistinct. 

 The underside of hindwing is of the same ground color; the marginal fringe 

 also. In subcostal area, midway from apex to base, is a dark spot, with a whitish 

 border resembling the sjjots on forewirig, and near the base is another. Below 

 the median vein at end of discoidal space is a prominent dash of white extend- 

 ing nearly to hind margin. This forms the prominent mark of under surface. 

 Froin its basal end, and running to inner margin, is a series of three white 

 lunules. The lunules at hind margin are far less distinct than on upper surface, 

 and are elongated towards the base.

 Taken in October, 1899. 



IVIetacliaris indisisiaiilis sp. nov. 



Expanse 1.25 inches. — Head above, black ; beneath, light tawny. Antennse 

 black. Legs light tawny. Thorax and abdomen above, black ; beneath, light 

 tawny. 



General ground color of wings dark grayish brown. 



Costa of forewing dark grayish brown. Hind margin has a narrow border of 

 rust color, scarcely perceptible at lower angle, but broadening towards apex. 

 In each interspace, about one-sixteenth inch from margin, is a black dot. At 

 apex, within the rust-colored tip, is a broad band of tawny color running from 

 costa across apical area towards hind margin, a quarter inch wide. This is the 

 prominent feature of the wing. The rest of the wing to the base is dark grayish 

 brown, marked with irregular transverse black lines. Three of these lines, 

 equidistant, cross the discoidal space extending downwards to submedian nervure. 

 Another borders the outer edge of discoidal space. Another starts at subcostal 

 nervure, bordering the tawny space and then extends downwards to submedian 

 nervure and at right angles to it. Outside of this, in the two lower interspaces 

 midway to hind margin, are two black dashes. 



The hind margin of lower wing is rust colored, but suffused by ground color, 

 rendering it almost imperceptible. The intersj)acial black dots are present, each 

 surrounded on basal side by a semicircle of black. Tlie black lines of forewing 

 are duplicated, but broken, having more the appearance of a series of spots. 



The general coloring of under surface is much brighter, generally tawny. 



The hind margin of forewing is dark tawny or rust colored. The iuterspacial 

 black dots are quite prominent. The tawny baud of upper side is repeated, 

 but suffuses downwards towards inner margin. The discoidal space-is rust color, 

 suffusing into adjoining interspaces. The space from lowest median nervule to 

 inner margin is yellowish gray, except for a small portion bordering lower angle. 

 The black lines of upper surface are duplicated but broken into spots. 



The hind margin of lower wing has a prominent border of rust color one-eighth 

 inch wide. The iuterspacial black dots are present, bordered on basal side by a 

 bit of light tawny, the black semi-circles of upper side scarcely showing. Eest 

 of wing is yellowish gray, the black lines or spots appearing as on upper side.
