YPHTHIMA HCEHNELI, new species. 



2Iale. — Upper side uniformly grayish brown; fore wing with a large, 

 oval, bipnpilled ocellus; hind wing with three ocelli, of which the one 

 nearest the anal angle is small and obsolescent, the other two, situated 

 one on either side of vein 2, are relatively large. On the under side 

 both wings are wood-brown, finely striolated with pale yellowish gray. 

 The stri.e are less numerous below the ocellus of the primaries, on the 

 basal third of the secondaries, and on either side of the submarginal 

 series of seven ocelli, which are found also on the secondaries. These 

 tracts in consequence of this lack of the lighter stritie are darker brown 

 than the rest of the wings. The seven ocelli of the secondaries are of 

 moderate size, two of them located between veins 1 and 2 near the anal 

 angle, and one on each of the succeeding interspaces, that nearest the 

 outer angle being the smallest and inclining to obsolescence. All of 

 the ocelli on the under side are pupilled with silvery blue. Tbe iris 

 of the large subapical ocellus of the primaries is relatively wide and 

 bright yellow. The irides of the ocelli of the secondaries are reddish 

 ochraceous. Expanse, 30 mm. 



Type.— 1^0. 50, U.S.N.M. 



There are two specimens of this species in the Ohauler collection, 

 both in a more or less damaged condition, but sufticiently good to per- 

 mit of an accurate description. The cotype (N^o. 51, U.S.N.M.) differs 

 from the type in having the ocelli on the under side of the secondaries 

 smaller than in the type and inclining to obsolescence.

iThe species named hy me YphtMm a chanleri, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1895, X VIII, 1895, 

 p. 240, I discover to be identical with a species named Neocani/ra (jregorW, by Dr. 

 Butler ill the Proceedings of the Zoological Society foi" 1894. The reference of the 

 insect to Dr. Butler's genus is what misled me. Xeocanijra is differentiated from 

 Mijcalesis by the absence of any swelling at the base of the median vein. It is a 

 very slight basis upon which to create a generic distinction.
