Sjnodu FI(iTofn<4oiata n. !<p. 



Head and l>i)d_v almre lirnwnish gray, lieiicath while. Upper surface, primaries, base pale gray, t. a. line broad and dark brown, 

 exterior to this a yelinw band a little wider at inner margin, and tlience of nearly eqnal width to the median nerviire, thence narrowing 

 to less than half its width at the costa, where it is joined exteriorly by a black somewhat triangular mark which is succeeded by a large 

 while patch with dentaled e<lge. There is a black wedge-shaped mark on the exterior edge of the yellow band at vein two, and a small 

 black edge is at and near the inner margin. All the space exterior to the yellow band and large reniform is bluish gray. S. t. line 

 geminate, pale brown and serrate<l. Fringe gray. Secondaries pure white, a very broad black band almost straight on its inner edge, 

 and containing the usual curved mark, which in this species is white. Undersurface, pure silky white. A subterminal blacki«h band 

 widest at costa, between which and the exterior margin the wings are very pale gray. A wedge-shaped black discal mark. Secondaries 

 with a blackish submarginal band, between which and the margin the space is white. A black marginal spot between veins two and four.

 Syiieda Fiiinosa n. sp. ^~~~ — '' "^ 



Head and body above pale gray. Two brown streaks on the protliorax. Upper surface, primaries light gray. An abbreviated 

 black basal line. T. a. line black and' forming an acute angle outwardly between tin- dorsal and discoidal veins. A broad whitish median 

 band or space exteriorly edged with black and joined by the usua'" large renifonn-like patch, which is likewise edged with black. 

 A subapical dash containing two small wedge-like black' marks. Secondaries di/ty white with abroad smoky-gray marginal band, 

 which merges into the white Without delined line of demarkation and cuntains the curved mark, which is however in<listinct, in fact 

 the whole wing has smoky s\ifrn.sed appearance. Under surface white. Primaries with faint sullused gray marginal and submarginal 

 bands and an oblique median shade. Secondaries have a faint transverse band and marginal mark.

Apatiira .48laiisa n. sp. 



^ head and body above black ; beneath white. The abortive forelegs green as in other species of the group Chlorippe. Upper- 

 surface all wings dark blackish brown, with a paler submarginal band formed of connected lunules. On primaries three small 

 gr.ayish white spots on the apical part. Indications of an oblicpie macular band across the wing from middle of costa to ihe third median 

 nervule. Undersurf;ue, primaries, basal third of wing yellow, rest brown. A white bar edged with brown crosses the discoidal cell in 

 the middle, another at its termination, three large white spots between this and the inner margin; three small ones in apical part. .Vn 

 irregular submarginal row of white lunules, Ihe arrangement- of all the spots almost as in Kallinn. The apical part of wing violaceous 

 gray reticulated with brown, rmlorsurface of secondaries white tinged with violaceous and reticulated and mottled with fine riist- 

 bro'wn abbreviated .streaks and dashes, and cros.sed in the middle by an irregular red line. A darker shade extends from the second sub- 

 costal nervule outwardly to the co.sla ; on the costa between this shade and the transverse median line a large oval spot is formed by the 

 white ground color. Margin edged with rust color. An indistinct row of submarginal hmules, 



$ form a. wings broader than (^ sis is usual in the genus. Primaries black, more brownish towards base a white bar within the 

 discordal cell, between this and the inner angle a white spot. X bar composed of three confluent white spots at termination of cell, 

 between this ami third median nervule two white spots, three subapical white spots, the innermost very minute. A narrow irregular 

 submarginal row of small whitish lunules. Secondaries brown with a darker submarginal band encbsing a connected row of lunules, 

 undersurface much the same as (^ sa<'e that the markings of secondaries arc not as sharp or dark. 9 form b. primaries with basal two- 

 thirds orange ochre, outer part black Enclosing subapical and submarginal spots as in form a. yellow instead of white. A black bar in 

 middle and another wider one at termination of the discoidal cell. The basal part of wing shaded with brown. Secondaries orange ochre 

 with brown marginal band enclosing lunules as in form a. Undersurface primaries much as above, secondaries as in form a. but yellowish 

 instead of white.

 ^^ A most remarkable insect, the inider surface of secondaries resembling in its striated mottling many of the 



Satyridce and in nowise whatever any Apatura.
