PAMPIIILIDI: LIMOCHORES MANATAAQUA. 1721 



black ; the line of scales above and behind the eyes of an orange tint, becoming paler 

 below and beneath whitish, tinged with yellowish. Palpi whitish below, tinged with 

 yellowish, deepening in color apically where It is mostly orange or tawny, above and 

 along the onter anterior edge of the middle joint mingled with black hairs ; apical 

 joint blackish brown, more or less llecked with yellowish in front. Antennae above 

 posteriorly blackisli brown, tinged with yellowish toward the base; beneath silvery 

 pale straw yellow, the apices of the joints, especially anteriorly, marked with black; 

 the club with a patch of orange, widening from the base on the anterior surface only ; 

 the apical fourth of the club, excepting the black portion and the whole of the crook, 

 naked and excepting the apical dusky joint orauge. Tongue black, the apical third 

 tinged with castaneous, especially down the middle. 



Thorax covered above with brownish green or olivaceous hairs, mingled In fron 

 with many blackish ones, where also they sometimes have a tawny tinge. Beneath 

 ■with greenish gray hairs tinged with yellow. Legs dull buff, the tarsi slightly infus- 

 cated; leaf-like appendage of fore tibiae dull castaneous; spurs dull buff, dusky 

 tipped; spines luteo-castaneous ; claws the same, tinged with reddish; pad dusky. 



Wings above rich dark brown, darker and with a slight maroon tinge in the ?. 

 Fore wings with a transverse series of pale yellowish, sometimes whitish spots in the 

 middle of the outer half of the wing, consisting first of three subcostal, closely 

 approximated, very small, longitudinal dashes depending from the middle of the outer 

 two-fifths of the costal border; and second of two larger spots, the upper suljtri- 

 angular, the lower subquadrate, in the median intei'spaces, in a line running from the 

 apex of the wing to the middle of the inner margin; the lower of these spots Is di- 

 minished in size in the J bythe discal stigma; there is often a small and obscure spot 

 in the same row upon the submedian nervure. In the $ the wing is inconspicuously 

 flecked with a few pale tawny scales near the base, along the inner margin and some- 

 times along the costal border, but in the $ the whole upper half of the wing, above 

 the median nervure and the discal stigma, as far as the tip of the cell, and toward the 

 costal border a little further, occasionally including the subcostal extra-mesial spots, 

 is pale dull tawny, obscured by dusky scales along the subcostal nervules and the base 

 of the subcostal nervure; the lower half of the wing as far as the discal stigma, and 

 below it to the middle of the outer half of the wing, is also flecked with dull tawny 

 but as a general thing very inconspicuously. Discal stigma (43 : 3) exceedingly slender 

 and nearly straight, composed of two nearly continuous, equal, straight streaks, the 

 inner removed below the outer by its own width and Inclined in the least possible 

 degree, its inner extremity being removed slightly downward ; the outer crosses the 

 lower median interspace, its pointed tip scarcely reaching the last divarication of the 

 median nervure ; the inner crosses the medio-submedian interspace, its inner extremity 

 reaching the middle of the basal four-fifths of the submedian nervure; the stigma is 

 nearly black and is followed toward the outer border, throughout its whole extent, by 

 a patch of scarcely raised, soft, brown scales, deepening in color toward the stigma; 

 the patch is irregular in shape, being narrow in the median and lower half of the 

 medio-submedian interspace, but in the upper half of the latter fully twice as broad. 

 Fringe nearly of the color of the wing, often slightly paler exteriorly and especially 

 on the lower half of the wing. Hind wings with the disc slightly suffused, especially 

 in the $ , with a dingy tawny tinge, occasionally accompanied, especially where the 

 tawny tinge is deepest, by a transverse, arcuate series in the middle of the outer half 

 of the wing of very small and obscure, roundish, yellowish spots in the median, 

 subcosto-median and subcostal interspaces. Fringe as on the fore wings, sometimes 

 slightly tinged with yellowish. 



Beneath, dark brown, but paler than above; /ore wings with the same markings as 

 are found above, the ? with the costal border flecked lightly with luteo-tawny scales 

 and so resembling the J more than above ; outer margin delicately edged with a black 

 line; fringe concolorous with wing. Hind toings unUormly flecked throughout, more 

 or less heavily, but seldom very heavily, with luteo-tawny scales, giving a snuff- 

 colored appearance to the wing ; inner border sometimes paler ; the spots of the upper
