Apatelodes amaryllis, new species. 



Olivaceous ochraceous, the veins light ; a black bar in the basal space from near 

 the base to the inner line above vein I ; a slight blackish shade below vein I ; inner 

 line whitish, rather broad, oblique from costa to origin of vein 2, then perpendicular 

 to inner margin ; an olivaceous blackish shade bordering its upper part, leaves it at 

 the angle and crosses to the outer line, cut by the ochraceous veins 2 and 3 ; outer 

 line white, strongly, narrowly outcurved over veins 4 to 6, inwardly arcuate between 

 veins 2 to 4, edged within by a defined olivaceous blackish shade which defines a 

 large, round, pale space beyond the end of the cell, bisected by the ochraceous vein 

 5 ; an oblique costo-apical white mark, preceded by two black wedge-shaped spots ; 

 an olivaceous blackish shade along the outer margin, touching the outer line between 

 veins 4 to 6, cut by the ochraceous veins. Hind wings blackish gray shaded, 

 divided by a whitish line that is angled on vein 5 ; a black spot on inner margin 

 at the termination of this line ; basal half of wing more blackish than outer half, 

 except for a rounded area on inner margin which is ochraceous ; outer area cut by 

 ochraceous veins ; the line is at about the middle of the wing. Beneath the fore 

 wings have a faint white subterminal line, the costo-apical white mark repeated, but 

 followed instead of preceded by black. Hind wings with an outer white line starting 

 on costa near middle of wing but at once curved outward and becoming submarginal 

 at the anal angle ; a blackish line is contiguous with it on costa but separates at vein 

 5, touching again at anal margin ; a blackish shade within to base above vein 2. 

 Patagia and center of thorax lined with black ; palpi and pectinations of antennae 

 black, else olivaceous ochraceous. Expanse, 38 mm.

 wing dark, crossed by two wavy, ill-defined lines, between which the ground color 

 is somewhat lightened or yellowish ; a round whitish discal dot ; outer half of wing 

 lighter, a brown line limiting the dark color, curved at costa and slightly dentate ; 

 a brownish line, between which and the subterminal dots the ground color is again 

 yellowish ; subterminal dots rounded, blackish, strongly waved in their course. 

 Hind wing dark reddish brown. Below much the color of the hind wings above, 

 a faint dark mesial line on both wings, limiting the somewhat darker basal area, fol- 

 lowed by a second faint darker line. Expanse, $ 70 to 80 mm., 9 95 nmi.
