Meg-athymiis neuinoegeni Edwards, Papilio, 2, 27, 1882. 



' ' Male. — Expands two inches. Upperside black and orange-fulvous ; 

 costal margin brown ; along the hind margin of both wings a broad 

 black band, arose within and opposite cell on primaries incised ; on 

 costal margin, beyond cell, a black patch which extends to median 

 nervure, and there connects with a large patch which occupies most 

 of the disk ; between this and the border a broad orange-fulvous band 

 from margin to margin, but restricted opposite cell ; on costa a fulvou,s 

 patch anterior to the black one ; the basal area darker fulvous. Sec- 

 ondaries have the disk black, much concealed by long fulvous hairs, 

 and between this and the border a light band as on primaries ; fringes 

 alternately fuscous and sordid white, white prevailing on posterior half 

 of secondaries. Underside of primaries dark brown at base and on 

 posterior half of wing quite to hind margin, the apex densely sprinkled 

 with gray-white scales ; orange repeated, but above median replaced 

 by white ; the patch on costa repeated. Secondaries brown, wholly 

 sprinkled with gray-white scales, most densely beyond disk, and this 

 area is somewhat clouded. A small white spot near base below sub- 

 costal, otherwise immaculate. Body brown ; beneath thorax gray- 

 white, shading toward abdomen into gray-brown ; legs reddish-brown, 

 with many gray scales and hairs ; palpi white ; antennae brown above, 

 whitish below, tip dark ferruginous. 



Female. — Expands 2.2 inches. Legs black, more orange fulvous ; 

 the borders as in the male ; in one example the black patches are nearly 

 as in the male, but in the other they are greatly reduced. In this last 

 one, on underside of primaries, the orange band is broad and bifid, 

 embracing the costal patch ; secondaries in addition to the white spot 

 near base, have a white patch, a cluster of white scales, denser than 

 elsewhere, near the inner angle. From one male and two females 

 taken in Southern Arizona. Another female was taken making four 

 examples. They are described as sitting in the sunlight on leaves of 

 agave and flying when disturbed to adjoining cliffs of rocks, alighting 

 generally out of reach of the net." 



Habitat. — S. Arizona; N. Sonora. Mexico.
