the under side of the hind wings are pupiled (compare figs. 2, 5, and 

 6, pi. 22). Judged from the specimens at hand, and from my experi- 

 ence with it in life, creola is readily distinguishable in both sexes 

 from 'portlandia and its two forms and is a perfectly valid species. 

 For the privilege of studying the material in the National Museum 

 collection I am under deep obligations to the late Foster H. Benja- 

 min, who also was so good as to go over the literature with me and 

 to assist me in other ways. 



Dr. William Schaus has called my attention to an apparently new 

 fritillary from Peru in his collection, now in the National Museum, 

 and has been so kind as to suggest that I describe it. This new frit- 

 illary may be known as 



BRENTHIS HANA, new species 



Plate 22, Figures 7. 8 



Description . — Expanse, 41 mm. Distance from tip of fore wing 

 to center of thorax, 24 mm. Antennae, 12 mm long. 



Head thickly beset with long golden-brown hairs, becoming silky 

 white on the frons and beneath and behind the eyes. Sides of palpi 

 with a broad band silky white, heavily scaled and without hairs. 

 Upper, inner, and lower sides of the palpi with very long golden- 

 brown hairs, darkest above, lighter below, becoming whitish toward 

 the base below. Antennae yellowish brown, the club darker. 



Thorax black with numerous long golden-brown hairs. Abdomen 

 above black with a sparse investiture of long golden-brown hairs, 

 which laterally become brownish-gold scales; beneath the scales 

 become more densely packed and lighter, and are interspersed with 

 numerous long whitish hairs. 



Fore wings roundedly pointed, the out«r border convex in the 

 apical third, becoming straight in the lower two-thirds. Hind 

 wings well rounded, curving slightly more sharply around the end of 

 vein 4 than elsewhere, and with a slight indication of an anal lobe. 



Wings above dull yellowish fulvous, in the basal portion slightly 

 infuscated and with numerous long golden-brown hairs, the veins 

 and markings uniform dark yellowish brown. 



Costal border of fore wings brov/n, with numerous fulvous scales 

 in the proximal half. Outer margin of wings narrowly dark brown. 

 Parallel to the dark border and near it on the hind wings is a narrow 

 dark brown scalloped line, these two dark lines being separated by a 

 fulvous line slightly wider than the inner dark line interrupted by 

 the dark veins. This is repeated on the fore wings, but here the 

 brown is more extensive so that the effect is that of a broad brown 

 border with rather small crescentic fulvous spots that become still
