102 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 



a band near base, running from median nervure to submedian nervure. These 

 markings are so indistinct that it is hard to locate and describe them. 



Upper surface of hind wing is much the same, the marginal border being less 

 prominent. The hind marginal fringe is lighter than ground color. 



Under side of fore wing of the same ground color as upper surface, the basal 

 and central portion showing blacker. Inner marginal area light brown. 



Under side of hind wing of the same ground color as fore wing. There are 

 no markings. The anal angle area is dusted slightly with light scales extending 

 upward toward base and also along hind margin. Marginal fringe of ground 

 color. 



Described from a series of specimens taken five days travel north 

 from Cochabamba about August 25, 1899. 



Lycaena maritima A. G. Weeks, Jr.^ 

 (Plate XLIV, Figure 3.) 

 Habitat: Lower California. Expanse: i. 00 inch. 



Head black above, grayish underneath. Palpi grayish, black-tipped. An- 

 tennae black, with white annulations at base of each joint. Club black, with 

 whitish tip. Thorax covered with bluish gray hairs above and beneath. Abdo- 

 men black above, gray beneath. Legs gray. 



Fore wing and hind wing the same, being entirely deep sky blue, with consid- 

 erable lustre. Hind and inner margins fringed with bluish hairs. Hind margin 

 has a black thread at border, suffusing in some lights into ground color. The 

 inner margin of hind wing is grayish. 



Under side of fore wing brownish gray. Transversely across top of discoidal 

 space is a black line, edged on both sides with whitish. Midway between dis- 

 coidal space and hind margin is a series of six interspacial black spots, each 

 surrounded by whitish, extending from first subcostal space down to inner mar- 

 gin, following contour of hind margin. The lower spot is double, making 

 seven spots in all. Base of wing darker than the rest, but dusted with gray 

 scales. Hind margin bears a fine dark thread at border. 



Under side of hind wing of the same ground color, darkening at base as in 

 fore wing, also bearing the discoidal black line, although less prominently. 

 There are also six interspacial black spots surrounded by white, following con- 

 tour of hind margin, in much the same relative position as those on fore wing. 

 These spots are smaller and far less prominent than those on fore wing. There 

 is a fine dark thread on hind margin, scarcely perceptible.
