crosses the nervule. This transverse line is narrow and distinct, whitish, 

 and is rounded at costa, and joins the costal edge at a point considera- 

 bly removed from ai)ex. Ground color of median space, a frosted pur- 

 plish brown, over which the dark costal scales downwardly intrude as 

 above described. The dark scales extend again broadly and more dif- 

 fusely downwards from the ai)ex, bordering the transverse line exter- 

 nally, and irregularly widening over the median nervules to internal 

 margin, and leaving the irregular terminal space of the wing a pale 

 frosted purplish brown, over which the nervules are marked with 

 ochreous. • 



Secondaries full and rounded. At base thickly clothed with long and 

 very bright ochreous scales. A large black discal ocellus consisting of 

 a broad blackish annulus surrounding a paler center, which contains a 

 black pupil (the discal spot) containing a few white scales. Outside 

 thisocelloid spot are two broad, subequal, even, blackish bands, the outer 

 the broader, and which traverse the wing from costa to internal mar- 

 gin. The pale dull ground color of the wing separates these bands and 

 obtains beyond the outer band, while the even narrow terminal space 

 is concolorous with that on primaries, being purplish brown, frosted 

 with pale scales, the nervules marked with ochreous. 



Beneath of a clear pale purplish brown. On the primaries the discal 

 mark is seen and a blackish shade band indicates the narrow tranverse 

 line of the upper surface. Secondaries concolorous with primaries; 

 there is a distinct white discal spot on the cross vein and a faint oblique 

 dark shade band. The ground color of the wings has something of a 

 dead pink tinge beneath ; this is especially noticeable on the seconda- 

 ries below the median nervule. Expanse, 5 inches. No habitat given. 

 This seems evidently a specimen with an erroneous locality, else it 

 would probably have been found by subsequent collectors. 



H. pamina Neum., Pap. ii, 60. 



var. AUROSEA Neum., Pap. ii, 61. 

 Head, thorax, and primaries an olivaceous creamy gray ; in the 9 

 paler. Primaries subfalcate, somewhat darker at base, but lighter along 

 the exterior margin. An evenly oblique yellow line, with brownish 

 exterior border, from very near apex to the center of the interior margin. 

 An irregular square discal blotch with dark dots at the intersections of 

 the nerves. Secondaries with the discal space bright yellow, the black 

 ocellus centered with white, surrounded by a few blue scales. The mar- 

 gins to this field are rosy, and this rosy margin forms the band through 

 the terminal space. Abdomen above rosy, beneath pale drab. Beneath, 

 primaries and secondaries fawn drab, the transverse line of primaries 

 of a purplish rose tint, the interspace between this line and base being 

 likewise of a lighter purplish rose, fading toward the costa. Discal 

 spot conspicuous, black with white central spot. Secondaries with 



markings of upper side faintly reproduced. Expands 2.75 3.G0
