side they are grayish. The under side of both wings is pale graj', and all the mark- 

 ings of the upper side are reproduced with modifications, most of them being greatly 

 reduced in size, and those of the cells and the discal areas being pale but sharply de- 

 fined externally by fine dark lines. 



9 . The female is larger than the male, as is always the case in this genus, and 

 has greater expanse of wing. The arrangement of the spots and lines is substantially 

 the same as in the male sex, with this difference that the light red spots of the upper 

 side are prevalently light gray, except the inner mesial and the two succeeding series 

 of light spots, which in this sex are light lemon-yellow, and the former of which on the 

 secondaries is greatly expanded, forming a large diffuse yellow band occupying the 

 middle of the wing. On the under side the markings near the end of the cell are 

 compacted to form a very irregular dark band sharply defined externally, and having 

 as one of its characteristic marks a narrow projection at the origin of the second 

 and third submedian nervules. This is also to be detected in the male sex, and is 

 a clue to the relationship of the two sexes. Expanse: cf , 50-55 mm.; 9 , 60-65 mm.

 Collection in the Carnegie Museum. 



The species may easily be distinguished from all hitherto described 

 by the narrow band of light yellow spots which crosses the primaries of 

 the female, as stated in the description, and which corresponds in its 

 location to the inner band of fulvous spots in the male. 



I take pleasure in naming this species in honor of ni}^ friend of many 

 years. Dr. F. A. Lucas, the Director of The American Museum of Natural 

 History. 



The collection before me contains three males and three females, 

 all captured at Medje, one female in April, the rest from June to Sep- 

 tember.
