Ixviii NATURAL HISTORY. 



13. Subhyaliua. Wings semitransparent, fuscous, costa freckled with black and 

 white, two small black spots towards the apex with white pupils, most distinct on the 

 underside. 



Expansion one inch eleven lines. 



Male black, antennas ochreous, the club elongated ; wings semitransparent, pale 

 fuscous, nervures ochreous, costa black, freckled with white ; two indistinct white dots 

 towards the apex with blackish ocelli, cilia whitish, spotted with black ; underside of 

 superior wings similar to the upper, but the ocellated spots are distinct, and the 

 surface, excepting the disc, is mottled with ochre and pale black, brightest at the apex ; 

 inferior wings spotted and mottled with black and dirty white, forming a waved 

 and curved pale line beyond the middle, with three or four whitish dots beyond it. 



A single male was preserved, and probably was taken with the last species, of which, 

 at first sight, I thought it had been only an old and faded specimen, but on 

 examination it proved to be in good condition.

14. Tarquinius. Wings tawny, spotted with black, inferior wings beneath with

 somewhat ochreous beneath, freckled with scarlet outside ; wings tawny orange, blaqk 

 at the base, superior with three long black spots on the discoidal cell, and a waved line 

 across the middle formed of black crescents, beyond is a row of six black spots, and 

 close to the posterior margin a line of a's, alternating with the same number of spots, 

 which variegate the white cilia ; inferior similarly marked ; underside, superior wings 

 paler, sometimes ochreous at the tip, variegated with ferruginous, the spots from the 

 upper side apparent, but smaller and fainter ; inferior wings reddish-brown, a little 

 variegated with ochre, with three pearly spots at the base, a v shaped one, and two 

 larger elongate-trigonate spots, margined with black beyond them, across the middle is 

 a row of black a's, with an irregular line of pearly crescents, with six small black 

 spots beyond it, and seven pearly spots on the margin, edged internally with black a's,
