ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 1 5 



Thymele pervivax Hubn., van alexanderi A. G. Weeks, Jr.^ 



{Plate IX.) 

 Habitat : Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse : 1.75 inches. 



Head and thorax above, brilliant green ; below, brilliant green with some 

 brown and white hairs. Abdomen above, dark brown ; below, light brown. 

 Antennae black. Legs above, dark brown ; below, lighter with greenish hairs 

 near body. 



Upper side of fore wing, a rich dark brown. The basal area is heavily dusted 

 with brilliant green scales. Fringe of hind margin becomes whitish towards 

 lower angle. 



Upper side of hind wing the same. 



Under side of fore wing dark brown with golden lustre. Basal area dusted 

 with lustrous green scales as on upper surface. Inner marginal area very light 

 brown. 



Under side of hind wing the same as upper surface. 



Taken in January, 1900. 



This is practically identical with T. pervivax, Hubn., excepting that 

 pervivax has a very prominent semi transparent band crossing the fore 

 wing. The specimens in hand show no indication of such a band 

 except in one instance, where I noticed a slight dot. It would be un- 

 safe to create a new species, and the advisability of naming a variety 

 is doubtful. There is a specimen in the Godman collection unnamed. 



Pamphila winslowi A. G. Weeks, Jr.^ 

 {Plate X^ Figure i.) 

 Habitat: Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse: 1. 15 inches. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen above, tawny with a greenish tinge ; below, nearly 

 white. Antennae black. Club black above, below bright tawny with brown 

 towards tip. Legs bright tawny. 



Upper side of fore wing dark brown. The entire basal area is bright tawny, 

 extending along costa to near apex, and also along inner margin to near hind 

 margin. The brown ground color juts inwards towards base at end of discoidal 

 space and also in the two lower submedian interspaces. A black dash crosses 

 the wing from end of discoidal space downwards to lower submedian nervule.
