IO WEEKS SOME UNDESCRIBED BUTTERFLIES [ ^1^111° ' 



The under side of fore wing is the same as upper side, except that in the first 

 four interspaces at apex are four well-defined white spots. 



The under side of hind wing is the same as upper side, except that the upper 

 half of the black border at costa is tawny. The hind marginal border also 

 becomes tawny as it approaches the anal angle. In the interspaces below 

 upper angle, in the centre of the black hind marginal border, are six white 

 spots. 



Taken near Bogota in 1896. 



Pedaliodes mariona sp. nov. 



Habitat: Colombia, Bogota district. Expanse: 1.60 inches. 



Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, abdomen and legs, brownish black above and 

 below. 



Upper side of fore wing bronzy brown, the basal two thirds of wing showing 

 darker in certain lights. One eighth inch within hind margin is a wavy dark 

 line, very indistinct and running from costa parallel to hind margin down to 

 submedian nervure. 



Lower wing the same, somewhat dentated at hind margin. A narrow dark 

 thread borders hind margin, and within that appears the continuation of the 

 line mentioned on fore wing. At anal angle these two lines assume a brick 

 color. All are very indistinct. Inner marginal space grayish brown. 



Under side of fore wing dead brown. Hind margin edged with a fine dark 

 thread bordered on inside by a thread of brick red. One eighth inch within 

 this is a wavy dark line running from costa to submedian nervure. One quar- 

 ter inch within this is another line running from costa to submedian nerv\ire, 

 not touching discoidal space. The space between these last two lines is a 

 shade lighter than ground color. Midway between the last-mentioned line and 

 the base is another line, starting at costa and running only across discoidal 

 space. 



The basal half of under side of hind wing is dead brown, the same as fore 

 wing. The lines of fore wing are repeated, but more prominently, the brick 

 red being tawny and broader. The line one eighth inch within hind margin is 

 very wavy, the points extending baseward at centre of each interspace. The 

 line one quarter inch within this is reddish brown and suffuses downward on 

 each nervule in a decided manner. The inner side of this line, from a point 

 opposite end of discoidal space down to inner margin, is heavily bordered with 

 yellow which suffuses generously upward as it approaches anal angle, the suffu- 

 sion being more brownish. The space between these last-mentioned lines is
