eujusdem coloris ; abdomine nitedo — cserulus annulate. Envergure 

 (temelle 61 mm.)." 



'^ Male. — Expands 2.3 inches. Upperside deep smoky brown, with 

 a pronounced indigo-violet reflection. Primaries without markings, 

 other than a few scattering, blue or green scales about base of wings. 

 Fringes concolorous. Secondaries with a row of brilliant blue or green 

 elongated submarginal spots, more or less confluent, interrupted by 

 the veins, and becoming obsolete toward anterior margin, fringes with 

 some white in intervenular spaces. Beneath, primaries paler and with 

 a purplish cast, a few blue or green scales along costa, about base and 

 near inner angle of wing. Secondaries much like upperside, but 

 deeper. The purplish reflection at anterior margin gradually chang- 

 ing to a deep indigo as it approaches the abdominal fold ; a few blue 

 or green scales in median space and along abdominal margin, sub- 

 marginal spots as above but brighter. The female expands 2.6 inches. 

 Upperside paler than male, gradually growing deeper over both wings 

 until nearly black at anal angle ; all wings with a faint purplish reflec- 

 tion in certain lights. Markings on secondaries like those of the male. 

 Beneath differing from the male only in the paler color and in having 

 a purple reflection, which is more pronounced on upper surface. Body 

 deep brown above and below, some blue or green lines on collar, front 

 and shoulders, and arranged in bands on posterior segments of abdo- 

 men. Palpi greenish white. Antennae dark brown."

"Alls subcaudatis, fuscis, fenestrati maculatis ; posticis subtus 

 puncto baseos atro. Antennae unicinate, apice subferruginae. Alae 

 posticae supra immaculatae, subtus glaucae, fasciistribus obscurioribus 

 et puncto distincto atro ad basin. Habitat in America." 



"Expanse of wings 2 inches. Upper surface dark brown, almost 

 black, with a strong purple reflection. A little beyond the middle of 

 cell of fore wings is a white hyaline bar extending across the cell, 

 emarginate externally. Below this and a little further out, in the sec- 

 ond median interspace, is a similar but larger subquadrangular spot, 

 and in the first median interspace is another, more oblong in shape. 

 The first two of these three spots represent two of the four spots which 

 form the median oblique band of Eudanius tityrus and allied species. 

 Near the apex there is an oblique row of these anteapical small spots, 

 subquadrate in form, the first the smallest. Hind wings without spots. 

 Fringes fuscous, those of the fore wings darkest ; the anal angle some-
