 darker markings. 

 c>. Fore wing above with two large submarginal white spots between veins 

 2 and 3 and 3 and 4 ; hind wing below with an arc of large, pale, incon- 

 spicuous, more or less confluent spots parallel with margin midway 

 between cell and dark border, and with veins narrowly blackish. 



eresimus (pi, 74, figs. 1, 2) 

 c'. Fore wing above without white spots between veins 2 and 3 and 3 and 4 ;

Dei^cription. — Upper surface : Wliite, faintly clouded with pale buff, 

 v?ith a broad black border including two rows of rather large white, 

 spots, the veins on the hind wings very dark brown narrowly edged 

 with gray, those on the fore wings edged with lighter brown ; cell of 

 fore wing brown with a broad light streak near the lower border; 

 between veins 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and 3 and 4 are three large subcirculiir 

 white spots occupying the entire width of the interspace, delimited 

 interiorly by a faint clouding of the background; there is a similai- 

 spot, situated nearer the margin of the wing, between veins 4 and 

 5; above this last and in line with the three preceding spots are two 

 somewhat smaller elongated spots; between these and the end of the 

 cell are two approximately similar spots, and just within the end of the 

 cell a triangular or broadly chevron-shaped spot; above the cell spot 

 a.nd each of the two pairs of spots beyond is a white dash on the costal 

 border. Loioer surface: Fore wing with the cell brown, find the 

 interspaces between the veins brown as far as the submarginal spots, 

 with a large broadly chevron -shaped white spot between the bases of 

 veins 2 and 3, a small spot just above this, a long dash along tlie inner 

 portion of vein 2 which is continued inward along the lower border
