APATURA I. 



Body above tawny, beneath soiled white ; legs yellowish ; jialjii same, tipped 

 with fuscous ; anteunoe brown, annulated with white, club blackish above, ferru- 

 ginous below, yellowish at tip. 



Female. Expands 2.3 inches. 



Primaries less produced and much broader than in male ; secondaries broad 

 and rounded ; the color of under surface more purple, but otherwise like the male. 



This sr)ecies is allied to Celtis in shape and general markings, but is much 

 lar«-er with the spots and ocelli relatively larger, and is of quite difterent coloring. 

 The only specimens I have seen are those figured on the plate. They were sent 

 me from New Orleans, and were taken in the vicinity.
