and running across outer edge of discoidal space, then extending outward 

 toward hind margin and in next lower interspace turning toward the base 

 and then turning abruptly toward lower angle. In such specimens the light 

 area of outer half of wing appears as a broad distinct band with its dark 

 borders on either side. The inner margin is black. In the apical area 

 midway from discoidal space to hind margin are two very prominent ocelli 

 adjoining €ach other, black with a white dot at centre, one above the other 

 and surrounded by light yellowish. Below these, in interspace above the lower 

 submedian nervule, is another similar ocellus but smaller. In some specimens 

 these ocelli are wanting, there being but one black dot in apical area. 



The hind wing is dark brown suffusing to light brown or bronze toward 

 hind margin. The nervures and nervules are soft dark brown as they 

 cross this light area. One-eighth inch within the hind margin is a dark 

 line running from upper angle and disappearing as it reaches the anal 

 angle. 



Under side of fore wing dark brown, with a slight golden lustre. Hind 

 marginal fringe dark brown. Hind margin bordered by a dark thread. 

 From the costa, one-quarter distance from the apex to base, is a distinct 

 dark line running to submedian nervure one-eighth inch within hind margin. 

 There is another line crossing centre of wing from lower subcostal nervule 

 to submedian nervure just outside the discoidal space. This line is irregular. 

 The basal area has no markings. 



The under side of hind wing resembles, in general appearance, the markings 

 in the genus Chionobas. The ground color is dark brown. The nervures and 

 nervules are distinctly white in most specimens. A dark line runs from upper 

 angle to the submedian nervure one-eighth inch within hind margin and follow- 

 ing its contour. Across the centre of the wing from costa toward anal angle, 

 is another irregular dark line. These two lines are continuations of those on 

 fore wing. In the area between these lines, is a series of four or five interspacial 

 elongated whitish spots, very prominent in some specimens. The basal area 

 has a mottled appearance, owing to a mass of semi-prominent dark interspacial 

 lines. 



Female. — General coloring and marking the same as male, except that the 

 ocelli and markings are more pronounced in some specimens. 



Described from seventeen specimens taken near Sicasica in October, 

 1S99. There is great variation in the prominence of the ocelli, and 

 two figures, showing the two extremes, are at least instructive. My 

 specimens intergrade nicely from one to the other.
