APATURA I. 



the last, which is minute and sometimes wanting ; occasionally an additional 

 ocellus, less distinct than the rest, may be discovered on costal margin ; on the 

 middle of this margin a large sordid white spot, and five minute spots of similar 

 color, form a band which passes around the extremity of cell ; these last are 

 not often distinct and frequently are in part or altogether obsolete, or are rep- 

 resented by a slightly paler shade of the ground color ; in the cell are thi-ee 

 faint spots, disposed much like the spots in cell of primaries ; fringes white in 

 the emarginations, fuscous at tips of nervules. 



Under side of primaries either clear brown or grayish-brown, the outer Yimh 

 pale fuscous ; the marginal spots repeated, distinct ; the white spots diffuse ; in 

 the discoidal interspace an ocellus inclosing the white spot ; in tlie cases where 

 there is more than one ocellus on the upper side there is a corresponding one 

 below, and all but the lowest inclose white spots ; next before the inner row of 

 spots a sinuous fuscous stripe. 



Secondaries either clear brown or grayish-l)rown, often with a pink tint ; the 

 ocelli repeated, seven in all, the one on costal margin being present, the seventh 

 often duplex, each with blue or as often lilaceous pupil and yellowish iris, out- 

 side of which is a narrow black ring ; on tlie sulj-median interspace is another 

 ocellus, either rounded or long oval and without pupil ; a pale fuscous band 

 crosses the wing obliquely next anterior to the ocelli, and is preceded by an ir- 

 regularly scalloped fuscous line, the space between the band and line being 

 occupied by a row of small spots of the ground color, which extend quite across 

 the wing and in part correspond to the discal row on upjjer side ; the spots in 

 the cell repeated ; another above cell on the costal interspace, against the up- 

 permost of the cellular spots and sometimes^ seeming to be a continuation of it, 

 but most often separated ; each of these jiale brown within and edged by fus- 

 cous ; there is also sometimes a small spot at base of upper branch of sub-costal 

 nervure, making on this area four or five spots ; the sub-marginal lines repeated, 

 distinct, brown or dull red ; the inner margin also bordered by a line. 



Body above olive-brown, beneath gray with an ochraceous tint on abdomen ; 

 legs light buff or cream color ; palpi white, with brown hairs above and at tip ; 

 antennae fuscous, finely ringed on upper side with wdiite, the under side being 

 yellowish ; club brown at base, clear white on upper half and at tip ; some- 

 times the club is pale green. 



Female. — Expands 2 inches. Similar in color, and varying as in the male ; 

 the markings similar. 



The foregoing description is taken from the summer type of this species. The 

 earliest brood, from larva? which have hybernated, are in general much paler 

 colored, the gray shades predominating, and the fuscous portions being pale.
