PAMPHILIDI: LEREMA ACCIUS. 



1769 



a little il.irker than the gi-ouud color of the wiug, and the outer border is narrowly and 

 indistinctly edged with black. Fringe blackish brown on the basal third, beyond vary- 

 ing from pale yellowish, narrowly interrupted with dusky at tlie nervure tips, to 

 uniform dusky, mud icings witliout markiugs, tlie lower lialf covered witli liairs, 

 having a sliglit olivaceous tinge; nervures, outer edge and fringe as in the fore whigs. 



Beneath very dark lirown, considerably tinged with ferruginous, but at tlie outer 

 border of both wings and Ijefore tlie middle of the hind wings tluslied with a hoary 

 bloom. Fore wings with the markiugs of the upper surface repeated beneatli and in 

 addition the tips of the subcostal nervules sometimes dashed with whitisli ; at the 

 outer border of the wing in a space which is bounded by a line running from the apex 

 of the wing toward the middle of the outer half of the submedian nervure, stoppin" 

 at the upper subcostal nervule and hence directed toward the outer border in the 

 lower median interspace, distinctly but delicately flecked with pale bluisli scales, 

 giving it a hoary bloom ; outer margin distinctly but delicately edged with a blackish 

 line. Fringe as above, but more frequently interrupted with dusky. Hind wings with 

 a faint, scarcely paler, roundish spot just beyond the middle of the costo-subcostal 

 Interspace ; the hoary , bluish bloom, similar to, but perhaps fainter than, that of the fore 

 wings, occupies two areas : one a basal patch below the subcostal nervure, terminated 

 outwardly by a straight line, which connects the base of the upper subsostal and 

 median nervules and continues to the inner border; the outer occupies the outer 

 border to a depth of about two interspaces, bounded interiorly by a broadly curved 

 line running from the tip of the upper subcostal and lower median nervules, or more 

 often by a nearly straight line running from the former to the niidtlle of the inner 

 border, along which a narrow series of pale squarish spots is often present in the 

 median and medio-submedian interspaces. Outer margin narrowly and distinctly edged 

 with blackish. Fringe much as above. 



Abdomen dark brown, rather sparsely flecked witli olivaceous hairs above and 

 especially on sides ; beneath heavily tinged with yellowish brown, giving a grayish 

 eflect ; upper organ of male appendages (37 : 12, 32) with the base of the hooks more 

 widely separated than the tips; lateral arms forming equal compressed blades rounded 

 at the tips, scarcely curving upward ; they approach each other at their very base and 

 then continue parallel and but slightly separated throughout. Clasps twice as long as 

 broad, the extremity rounded, longest above, the upper margin pretty deeply excised 

 just before the tip, leaving the extreme upper posterior angle produced as an up- 

 wai'd directed, but Incurved, triangular, laminate, pointed lobe. 



Described from 11 3 , 11 ? . 



Accessory sexual peculiarities. The discal stigma of the male has been described 

 under the wing; the scales contained in it consist of jointed threads (51 :fi a) in the 

 heart of the stigma, the joints apparently enlarged slightly at the incisures ; in the api. 

 cal portion are found some very long .and Large, slender scales (fi b) with rounded tip, a 

 little larger apically than at base; the cover scales (6c) are small, subquadrate, with a 

 wavy apical margin. In the vitreous subcostal spots of the femsile will be found some 

 transverse, oval scales (G d), finely striate, with wavy reflections and entire and regular 

 margins. 



Egg (66 : 36). Cells in the middle of the egg very regularly pentagonal, about .03 

 mm. in diameter; below growing broader than high, so as to h.ave the longer diameter 

 near the base of the egg .04 mm. The cells are filled very irregularly with punctures 

 •which appear to be linear, giving them the appearance in certain lights of supporting a 

 short hair, which caused the artist to so represent it on the plate, but none can be seen
