135. Pamphila Zabulon, Bd. — Lee. 



Expanse of wings 1.2 inches. 



Male. — Upper surface pale dull yellow, the fore wings 

 dusky at the base, the outer fourth blackish brown, den- 

 tate within ; the same extending along the hind margin 

 to near the base, and very narrowly edging the costa. 

 There is an oblique bar at the end of the cell, and a patch

 beyond this patch the border is narrowed, with a narrow 

 line of yellow intervening. Hind wings bordered all 

 around with blackish brown.

 except the costal margin, dark brown, the marks of the 

 outer end repeated with less distinctness. The hind

 except a costal patch, reddish brown. The outer border 

 contains several irregular pale brown spots ; and there 

 is a dark brown, yellow-washed streak below the sub- 

 median vein.

 suffusing over the basal half of the wings, with the yellow
