distinct black patches nearer base ; along hind margin are 

 rounded blackish spots, not well defined ; on costal margin two 

 or three sub-apical white dots, and another in lower median 

 interspace, not always present ; fringes of primaries brown with 

 a few white hairs at the ends of the nervules ; at the apex a clear 

 white space ; of secondaries wholly brown. 



Under side dark brown, the apex and hind margin of prima- 

 ries and all of secondaries dusted with white scales ; the spots 

 repeated. Secondaries have an indistinct sub-marginal row of 

 small whitish patches, two or three similar patches across the 

 disk, and one in cell ; but in some examples all these marks are 

 nearly or quite wanting. 



Female. — Same size. In general like the male, but at the 

 outer ends of the black dashes on primaries are whitish scales, 

 and on secondaries is an extra discal series of whitish patches, 

 small, and sometimes composed of a few scales only. On the 

 under side both wings have a sub-marginal series of whitish 

 points ; under the sub-apical white spots, is a white dot in each 

 of the median interspaces, and a white streak across end of cell 

 on secondaries.

 Pholisora Ceos. 



Male. — Expands 1.15 inch. Upper side black-brown, with a 

 few scattered whitish scales, an indistinct band, scarcely differing 

 from the ground, along hind margin of primaries, and a similar 

 one sub-marginal; two white dots on costa near apex; fringes 

 concolored. Under side nearly same shade as above, the white 

 dots sometimes repeated, sometimes not ; near anal angle of 

 secondaries two gray dots across sub-median interspace. Body 

 black-brown above; abdomen black beneath; thorax white; palpi 

 white, on upper side ferruginous, and the hairs between the eyes 

 and on back of head and front of thorax, all ferruginous ; antennae 

 black ; club black, gray beneath. 



Female. — Same size. Precisely like the male, except that 

 there are three white dots on primaries instead of two in the 

 examples under view. 



From 2 <^ ? . This species is readily distinguished by the 

 ferruginous covering to head and front of thorax. 

 EUDAMUS DORUS. 



Secondaries much produced at anal angle. 

 Male.- — Expands 1.6 inch. Upper side dark brown, with 

 many whitish semi-transparent spots ; primaries have three small 

 sub-apical spots on costa, a dot just below these, towards hind 

 margin ; three large spots in the median and sub-median inter- 

 spaces, in a line parallel to hind margin ; a small spot near middle 

 of costa, a large patch under this, in cell, and a large sub-rectangu- 

 lar spot at origin of lower median interspace ; secondaries clothed 

 with long, daik-gray hairs, across disk a line of four whitish spots;
