APATURA II. 



Just as Celtls has been supposed to have been covered hy the description of 

 Lycaon, Fab., so Hcrse Fab. has witliin the last two or three years been appor- 

 tioned to Chjton, altogether wrongly. The description of Herse, Fab. Ent. Syst., 

 III., p. 229, No. 718, is as follows : — 



P. S. alls dentatis fusco ferrugineis : anticis albo punctatis, posticis utrinque 

 ocellis septem coecis. 



Papilio Herse, Jon. fig. pict. 4, tab. 7, fig. 2. 



Habitat — Dom. Drury. 



Corpus fusco ferrugineuni. Ala3 anticas obscure ferruginea?, pone medium 

 fascia e maculis sex punctisque quatuor apicis albis, subtus pallidiores. PosticiB 

 fusco ferruginea? ocellis septem nigris iride ferruginea : secundo tertioque pupilla 

 ferruginea, reliquis coecis. Sul)tus pallidiores ocellis septem coeruleis iride flava ; 

 annulo nigro. 



Wings dentated, marked with fuscous and ferruginous ; the fore 'ivliigs spotted 

 with white, the hind wings also with seven black ocelli 



P. Herse, Jones' Icones. 



Hahitat unhiown. Collection of M. Drury. Body fusco-ferrugineous ; fore 

 wings ohscure ferruginous, with an extra-median band of six spots and four apical 

 spots, 'white; under side paler. Hind wingn fusco-ferruginous ; vnth seven black 

 ocelli with ferruginous irides, the second and third pupilled with ferruginous, 

 the rest blind; under side paler with seven blue ocelli, with yellow irides, in 

 black rings. 



This description cannot apply to Clyton, in which the fore wrings are not 

 obscure ferruginous, but ferruginous at base and blackish-brown towards hind 

 margin ; they are not spotted with ivhite, but with yellow or yellow-ferruginous ; 

 the median band is composed of^ seven sjjots and the outer sj^ots are five, instead of 

 six and four, as in Herse. The hind wings ai-e blackish-brown in Clyton, not 

 fusco feri'uginous ; there are but six ocelli and all are blind, loith no ferrugi- 

 nous pupils. In Herse there are seven, the second and third jnqyilled loith ferru- 

 ginous. In Herse the under side of both wings is described as paler thnn the 

 upper, with no variety of color or shade on the several areas ; that is, the fore 

 wings must be ferruginous, or less obscurely ferruginous, and the hind wings a 

 pale fusco-ferruginous. In Clyton the under sides are brown, gray, purplish with 

 the least possible fuscous on primaries only, and in vars. Ocellata and Proserpina 

 there is no ferruginous at all on either wing. In the form which I call Flora 

 there is ferruginous, but it is intense, and the whole surface is richly diversified 

 in color. In Herse are seven blue ocelli in black rings, with yelloio irides ; in 

 Clyton though the pupils are blue the irides are ferrtiginous. There is tlierelbre 

 no agreement between the description of Herse and the insect Clyton except in 

 the most general way.
