PSYCHE. 



Ill 



at the insenion of each ot the antennae. 

 Collar dark rufous. Patagia and upper side 

 of thorax red. Upper side ot abdomen pale 

 fuscous tipped with darker fuscous. Under 

 side of thorax and abdomen pale hiteous. 

 Le^s concolorous, the first and second pair 

 with their anterior margins dark brown. 

 The prevalent color of the upper surface of 

 the wing is brightred. Thecosta is uniformly 

 bordered on the primaries with dark brown. 

 There is a narrow basal line which is con- 

 tinued along the costa and the inner margin 

 fusing with a curved and denticulate sub- 

 basal dark brown line, thus enclosing a large 

 light red spot. Beyond the sub-basal line in 

 the cell are two minute blackish dots. A 

 broad median brown line crosses the wing 

 from the costa to the inner margin, slanting 

 outwardly. This is followed at the end of 

 the cell by two minute black dots surrounded 

 by an area of somewhat paler red than the 

 body of the wing. From the costa a trans- 

 verse limbal line runs with a regular outward 

 curve as far as vein four, where it returns 

 inwardly making a loop between veins three 

 and tour, and then with a broad and regular 

 curve sweeps around to the inner margin. 

 An irregular and very fine submarginal line 

 extends across the wing from the costa 

 before the apex to the inner margin before 

 the outer angle, coalescing with the transverse 

 limbal line on veins three and four. The parts 

 of the wing included between the limbal and 

 submarginal line are lighter in color than the 

 rest of the wing. The inner margin between 

 the sub-basal line and the limbal line from 

 the margin to vein one is clouded with fus- 

 cous. The secondaries are clouded near the 

 base and costa by pale fuscous. There is 

 a small discal dot in the cell followed by an 

 obscure transverse blackish line, succeeded 

 by a transverse limbal line, which is sharply 

 produced on veins three and four as upon the 

 primaries. On the under side, the wings 

 are obscui-e ochraceous with the primaries 

 shaded toward the apexwith pale rosy-brown. 

 The fringes are darker and the transverse 



lines of tlie upper surface reappear upon this 

 side. Expanse, 32 mm. 



79. C. «3«rt, sp. nov. (J. Collar, thorax, 

 and abdomen on the upper side fulvous ; on 

 the lower side, pale ochraceous. Legs con- 

 colorous. The wings on the upper side are 

 pale ferruginous clouded with darker 

 purplish-red lines and markings. The prim- 

 aries are traversed by a curved basal and 

 median line, the area between which is 

 darker than the rest of the wing. There is 

 a minute discal dot in the cell; an obscure 

 limbal band of purplish-brown, from which 

 a ray or shade of the same color runs out- 

 wardly in the region of the median nervules 

 to the margin. There is a dark irregularly 

 curved submarginal line and the margin is 

 defined by fine transverse lines on the inter- 

 spaces. The fringes are concolorous. The 

 secondaries have the bands of the primaries 

 continued upon them, and are slightly 

 lighter in color than the primaries. On the 

 under side, both wings are pale yellowish 

 with the outer margins broadly laved with 

 pink. Expanse, 20 mm. 



So. C. {f) sideris, sp. nov. (? . Head, 

 thorax, and abdomen on the upper side dark 

 brown. On the lower side, the thorax and 

 abdomen are pale fawn. The legs are con- 

 colorous. The primaries on the upper side 

 are rosy-brown, crossed by obscure and 

 diffuse sub-basal, median, and limbal bands 

 of which the latter is the broadest. There 

 are also at the end of the cell two pale 

 ochreous spots pupilled with blackish. The 

 secondaries are of the same color as the 

 primaries and are crossed with very indis- 

 tinct sub-basal and median bands of obscure 

 brown. The latter band is accentuated on 

 the nervules by minute light colored points, 

 which are obscurely surrounded by darker 

 brown. The margins of both primaries and 

 secondaries are defined by a very fine evenly 

 crenulate line. The fringes are a trifle 

 darker than the bodv of the wing. On the
