ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 55 



Taken in May, 1899. I have placed it in the genus Fa?nphila 

 rather than to introduce a new genus, which, however, seems 

 warranted. 



Pamphila vesana A. G. Weeks, Jr.* 

 {Plate XVI, Figure i.) 



Habitat: Bolivia, Yacanachi district. Expanse: 1. 13 inches. 



Upper side of head, palpi, legs, antennae, thorax and abdomen, light bronzy 

 brown ; beneath, a shade lighter. 



Upper side of fore wing light bronzy brown. Hairy fringe of hind mar- 

 gin the same, with darkish line within it. In the subcostal interspaces above 

 the end of discoidal space are three whitish dots, barely perceptible. From 

 end of median nervure a blackish streak runs downward to a point cm sub- 

 median nervure about one-third its distance from base to hind margin. In 

 interspace between the upper end of median nervure and bind margin, mid- 

 way, is a white dot. 



Upper side of hind wing light bronzy brown. Subcostal area, toward base, 

 slightly darker. Hairy fringe of hind margin of ground color, with a slight 

 line of black on margin. 



Under side of fore wing light bronzy brown, a shade lighter than upper 

 surface. The whitish spots of upper surface are repeated, but another and 

 larger one is situated at the centre of wing just above the lower median 

 nervule. In interspace below this, is a dash of lightish scales. The basal 

 area below median nervure is blackish. 



Under side of hind wing light bronzy brown, as on under side of fore 

 wing. In the centre of discoidal space, is a very slight whitish spot, and, 

 between this and hind margin, an almost imperceptible line of interspacial 

 whitish spots, extending from centre of costa to lower median nervule, fol- 

 lowing contour of hind margin. Inner marginal space more grayish brown 

 than ground color. 



Taken near Yacanachi, January 20, 1898. Others were taken 

 near Chulumani in November.
