1778 BUTTERFLIES BEYOND NEW ENGLAND. 



tipped. Palpi with ochre yellow hairs, mingled with longer black hairs, which latter 

 are especially prominent beneath and at the tip. Femora dusky ; tibiae and tarsi pale 

 yellow. 



Wings above deep ochraceous brown, flecked with black on the basal half and along the 

 costal and outer margin of both wings, eye-like spots before the margin, beneath marbled 

 with ochraceous and brown ; fringe dark brown, interrupted in the interspaces with gray- 

 ish white. Fore winys ochraceous brown, the costal border marbled with black and grayish 

 white, distinct next the base, forming a dark grayish band toward the tip, continued more 

 broadly around the outer to the inner border as a dark brown baud, the inner edge slightly 

 crenulated, the outer edge distinctly black ; a very broad band clouded with black, darkest 

 at the borders, and somewhat tinged with ochraceous in the middle, crosses the middle of 

 the wing ; the uervure closing the cell is distinctly and narrowly edged with black ; the 

 outer border of the baud starts from the dusky costal border beyond the cell at right 

 angles to the last branch of the nervure, projecting outwards as a short tooth upon this 

 nervure, is there bent at right angles toward the base, and immediately thereafter bends 

 again and passes in broad crenations to the inner and subparallel to the outer border ; 

 the inner border of the band crosses the cell irregularly between the origin of the first 

 and second median nervules aud nearer the latter; below the cell, it passes from the 

 origin of the first median nervule parallel to the costal border, but is lost before 

 reaching the inner border. Between this band and the base the ochraceous is consid- 

 erably flecked with brownish atoms, less distinctly next the band; in the broad ochra- 

 ceous band next the outer border, occupying the space left between the two dark bands 

 mentioned, are situated in the lowest subcostal, subcosto-median, aud the lower median 

 interspaces, large, roundish, inclined to be pyriform, blind, eye-like spots, that in the 

 subcosto-median interspace a little smaller and rounder. Hind loimjs : Basal portion 

 to the extremity of the cell fuscous, largely tinged with dull ochraceous, except 

 above the cell ; toward the base very indistinctly marked with faint fuscous and ochra- 

 ceous ; the outer limit of this fuscous basal portion is that of the outside of the middle 

 band beneath ; the outer border of the wing from the tip of the first subcostal nervule 

 to the anal angle has a narrow dusky band, narrower than that of the fore wings, black- 

 ish on the inside where it is very slightly crenulate, paler along the middle, the edge 

 black again; the marbling of the under surface shows indistinctly through upon the 

 broad, ochraceoys brown band which occupies most of the outer half of the wing, and 

 in the interspace beyond the first and second median nervules is a round, black, blind, 

 eye-like spot, smaller than any of those of the fore wings. 



Beneath : Fore wings considerably paler than above ; the middle band of the upper 

 surface distinct only at the borders, the lower portion of the outer border straight, the 

 middle space being of the ground color, with transverse, slightly wavy streaks, especi- 

 ally in the cell, of blackish brown ; similar frequent streaks in the cell between the band 

 and the base, the costal edge distinctly marbled with black and grayish white from base to 

 apex, over which latter portion it is more diflused, though scarcely reaching the medio- 

 submedian interspace, except next the outer border, where it extends at least to the third 

 median nervule, and is bordered toward the base by a narrow band formed of continu- 

 ous shallow luuules reaching neither the costal nor the inner border ; next to which is 

 a broad, ochraceous band, with infrequent transverse streaks of reddish brown, which 

 never cross the nervures; the eyes as above, though more ovoid in form, and that of 

 the lower median interspace very indistinctly white pupiled. Hind wings marbled with 

 transverse bars and streaks of blackish brown and grayish white, tinged with pale 

 ochraceous brown in the outer half of the wing, and with darker ochraceous brown in 

 the middle of the band ; at the base the bars are larger and about equally divided ; in the 

 band the darker ones are clustered along the borders so as to be continuous at the extreme 

 border ; in the outer half the marbling is pretty uniform, though less tiuged with ochra- 

 ceous next the middle band, the lighter colors prevailing throughout this portion ; mid- 

 way between the band and the outer border very indistinct pale yellowish white spots in 

 the interspaces ; the eye reduced to an indistinct, small, round, black spot; the outer bor- 

 der narrowly edged with black, not extending to either angle, a small white spot situated
