PAMPIIILIDI: ATALOPEDES HURON. 16G3 



median Interspace, the lower in the lower median interspace, with its interior margin 

 rounded, its exterior reaching to the interior margin of the upper spot; in addition to 

 these spots, the outer tliird or lialf of the cell is dashed with pale tawny, and the base 

 of the interspaces beyond the cell as well as the whole basal half of the costal l)order is 

 flecked more or less with tawny: the brown suljniedian nervurc is narrowly edged 

 with pale tawny, which toward the middle of the wing expands on either side into a 

 vague patch, more or less triangular above; the outer edge is delicately traced with 

 blackish ; fringe dusky, becoming paler below the lowest median uervure. Hind wings 

 dark brown ; in the (J , they are lightly flecked next the outer border with a few tawny 

 scales and the whole disc between the subcostal and snbmedian nervures suffused with 

 tawny, but traversed by dusky nervures, and beyond the middle of the wing (excepting 

 at the snbmedian nervure, on which a tawuy, longitudinal streak extends quite to the 

 outer border) powdered rather sparsely with fuscous scales, w-hich renders the inner 

 limits of the darker outer border obscure; this is sinuous, approaching the outer mar- 

 gin beyond the cell to within less than the width of an interspace, receding from it in the 

 medio-submcdian interspace ; the inner third of the wing is largely provided with tawny 

 hairs. In the ? the darker color is more uniformly spread over the surface, but tawny 

 hairs are found over the whole inner half and even at the centre of the wing, while a 

 transverse, slightly irregular, moderately bi'oad band of tawny, broken by the dusky 

 nervules, crosses the middle of the outer two-thirds of the wing from the upper sub- 

 costal to the lowest median nervules ; excepting the portion in the subcostal interspace, 

 which lies witliin the parts following, its exterior limit on a line with their interior 

 limits, the band lies at right angles to the inner border, gradually receding from the 

 outer border as it approaches the latter; there is, also, a small spot or dash of tawny 

 in the cell, next to and between the divarications of the median uervure. The fringe 

 is tawny, paler and dingier in the $ than in the ^. 



Beneath saffron colored. .the upper half of the fore wings tinged with tawny, all 

 excepting the tawny parts frequently obscured in large measure by fuscous in the $ , 

 as is also the inner border of the fore wing as far as the submedian nervure, and the 

 lower half of the base in the g ; the outer border of both wings and at least the outer 

 half of the costal border of the fore wings are delicately edged with blackish and the 

 fringe is similar to that of the upper surface but a little brighter. Fore v:inijs ; the 

 markings of the upper surface are repeated bene.ath in the <?, very indistinctly, and 

 the discal patch not at all; a few pale spots represent the similar ones on the $ 

 above the median area; in the ? distinctly of a similar form and size as above, except- 

 ing in the tawny patches of the cell and of the submedian nervure, the former of which 

 Is merged in the general tawny tint of the cell, the latter, greatly diffused, extending as 

 a broad, pale, obscurely limited patch in the outer half of the raedio-submediau inter- 

 space, and which is also represented, inconspicuously, i:i tlie $ hy a paler yellow than 

 the ground. Hind icinrjs ; the obscurity of the markings in the male is in perfect 

 accord with that of the fore wings, so that it is only in flown specimens that one may 

 distinctly make out that the limits of the paler and clearer transverse band is similar 

 to that of the female. The markings of the upper surface of the female are rather 

 obscurelj' repeated beneath, sometimes as obscurely as in the $ , the transverse band 

 being not infrequently extended by a squarish spot, occupying the whole width of the 

 costo-subcostal interspace, as far removed inwardly from that of the subcostal as that 

 is from tlie lower portions of the band ; occasionally tlie whole band is bordered by 

 dark interspaceal spots; the inner margin is clearer than the rest of the wing in both 

 sexes. 



Abdomen blackish, largely obscured, especially on the sides and on the apical half of 

 the segments with tawny ; beneath pale yellow, almost white. Upper organ of male 

 abdominal appendages (37 : 21, 22) with each of the hooks twice as long as broad, in- 

 curved, very blunt tipped, scarcely half so long as the horizontal portion of the centrum. 

 Cla.sps nearly two and a half times longer than broad, the upper and lower borders 

 straight, the former with a slight prominence in the middle; lower half of the clasp 

 produced to an abruptly upcurved and slightly incurved, tapering process, its tip passing
