ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 45 



Fore wing, above, entirely black with a very prominent tawny golden band. 

 Hind margin fringed with black hairs. The lower edge of the golden band 

 starts at very edge of costa, three-sixteenths of an inch from base, running 

 across to hind margin at end of submedian nervure. The band is fully three- 

 sixteenths of an inch in width. 



Hind wing entirely black. Hind margin fringed with black hairs. 



Under side of fore wing is identical with upper surface, except that the 

 band is of a slightly lighter shade and the inner margin somewhat grayish. 



The costal area of under side of hind wing is black. The fringe of hairs at 

 hind margin is black. The rest of the wing is grayish black with black 

 nervures and nervules.

 {Plate XI^ Figure 2.) 

 Habitat: Bolivia, near Coroico. Expanse: 1.50 inches. 



Head, thorax and abdomen, above, dark, covered with green-blue hairs; 

 below, dark mouse color. Antenna;, black. Legs, dark mouse color, 

 tarsi having white annulations at base of each joint. 



Fore wing, above, dark lustrous blue. Basal area dusted with greenish 

 blue. Hind margin with a slight fringe of black hairs, and edged with a 

 black thread. A slight suffusion of black extends one-eighth inch inwards 

 from hind margin. 



Lower wing, above, dark lustrous blue, matching fore wing. Hind margin, 

 same as on fore wing. At anal angle is an addition to the wing area, one- 

 sixteenth inch wide, running from angle to lower submedian nervule (black 

 suffusing somewhat into wing area) and then extending outwards as a tail at 

 nearly right angles to the nervule. This tail is black, one-quarter inch long. 



Across this anal black space is a bluish-white thread, running from end of 

 lower submedian nervule straight to the submedian nervure, then forming a 

 V in inner marginal space. At the end of the second submedian nervule 

 is another tail, black, one-eighth inch long, being a continuation of the 

 nervule in its direction. 



Under side of fore wing, mouse color. Hind margin, edged with a black 

 thread. Starting at second subcostal nervule, at a point one-quarter distance 

 from apex to base, is a jet-black line, running downwards parallel to hind 

 margin, and ending at lower submedian nervule. Three-sixteenths inch
