discal row of similar but separated spots, those on costal half of 

 wing crescent, the others serrated, the row somewhat irregular ; 

 at anal angle the margin is edged white over the black fringe. 



Female. — Same size ; the disks russet. 



Several examples of this species wee received. I had it 

 formerly also from the Wheeler Expedition. 



Pamphila Deva. Edw. Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. V. 292, 1876. 



Male. — Expands 1.4 to 1.8 inch. Upper side dark brown, 

 with a bronze reflection ; primaries have three small semi-trans- 

 lucent white spots on costa near apex, a large rhomboidal spot at 

 end of cell, with an angular sinus on either side, a small spot at 

 origin of upper median interspace, and a large sub-rectangular 

 spot in second median interspace — these, with the cellular spot, 

 making a triangle ; secondaries immaculate ; fringes of primaries 

 brownish-cinereous, lightest next inner angle ; of secondaries, 

 whitish throughout. 



Under side brown ; the apex, costal margin of primaries aud 

 all of secondaries dusted with gray scales ; the spots repeated ; 

 in addition, secondaries have a brown dash on middle of disk, 

 transverse, and within this a white streak. 



The foregoing description is taken from one male, another 

 has the spots all small ; on under side of secondaries the brown 

 dash is without the white streak. 



Female. — Expands about 2 inches. Same color and mark- 

 ings as the male on both sides ; the black dash is present, but 

 the white streak is wanting in all the examples under view. 



From 2^4?. 



Deva was originally described from a single female received 

 from the Wheeler Expedition 1875 or 1876, and up to the present 

 time this and another female taken by Mr, Neumoegen, in 1880, 

 have been the only representatives of the species known to me 

 in collections. 



Pamphila Pittacus. 



Male. — Expands 1.5 inch. Upper side pale brown, thickly 

 dusted with greenish-gray scales over whole surface ; both wings 

 have semi-transparent spots ; on primaries three sub-apical on 

 costa, three in oblique line across the median interspaces ; a 

 large spot at end of cell, rhomboidal or rectangular, constricted 

 across the middle. Secondaries have a straight transverse row 

 on middle of disk, four spots nearly confluent; fringes cinereous. 



Under side brown ; apex and costa of primaries and all of 

 secondaries hoary with whitish scales ; the spots repeated ; a 

 whitish point near outer angle of secondaries, another near base 

 in same interspace, and a third in sub-median interspace near 

 base. These all obscure. 



Female. — Same size. Upper side similar to the male ; on 

 secondaries in the example under view the band on secondaries
