135 J. Pamphila Aakoni, Skinner. (Page 305.) 



Expanse of wings from 1 to 1.25 inches. 



Male. — Upper surface tawny, the fore wings with a 

 blackish-brown border about one-eighth inch in width. 

 The base of the wing is shaded a darker color by the 

 same dusky scales. The veins are not defined by the 

 dark color, as in var. Hobomoh. The tawny middle 

 area of the wing is darker and more fiery than in the 

 latter. The discal bar or dash is black and very distinct 

 and well defined, although quite small in most of the 

 specimens ; running from this obliquely toward the body 

 to the posterior margin is a broken, very faint line. The 

 hind wings are a practical reproduction of the fore wings, 

 the only difference being that the dark border encircles 

 the entire wing, but is narrower on the anterior margin, 

 and the venation is well defined. 



Under side, extending from the thorax into the wing 

 for about one-eighth inch, and covering only the lower 

 half of the base, is a sharply defined black spot, which 

 has a pointed projection extending into the third median 

 interspace. The middle area of the wing is tawny, but 

 some shades lighter than the upper side. The border 

 along the lower half of the outer margin is about the 

 same width as above, but it widens considerably as it 

 approaches the apex ; this border and the immaculate 

 hind wings are of a light cinnamon-brown color. There 

 is a brownish-black streak running along the posterior 

 margin of the fore wings. 



Female. — A little larger than the male, and the colors 

 of a lighter shade than in the male, and not so well de-
