June 3°] WEEKS — UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA 3

imperceptible on some specimens; inside of these and one third the distance 
from margin to base is a series of more or less distinct transverse streaks 
extending from costa to lower median nervule, bordered with white or very 
light gray on the outside, and with orange on the inside, the orange being 
nearly absent at upper part near costa, but becoming more prominent below; 
this line is the prominent feature of the markings; within this and parallel to 
it is a line of very indistinct darkish transverse streaks extending to inner 
margin. On the edge of hind margin of hind wing is a delicate line of dark 
brownish gray, bordered on inner side with white, or very light gray; within 
this and one sixteenth inch from margin is a line of nearly semicircular darkish 
gray lines extending from costa to inner margin, occasionally with a few orange 
scales enclosed and bordered with a little lightish gray; in the middle of the 
outer two thirds of the wing is an irregular, but nearly straight series of 
transverse streaks of dark gray, forming a continuance of the streaks on fore 
wing, but more strongly bordered with orange on inner side and white on outer 
side, and running parallel to the margin and terminating at inner margin about 
one third the distance from anal angle to base; in the lower median inter- 
space is a prominent orange spot, bordered above with a black line and enclos- 
ing at its base a nearly circular black spot, almost touching hind margin; in 
the next space below is a similar orange and black spot, less than half the 
size of the first and less distinctly marked, extending over the nervure to the 
anal angle; between these spots there is a sprinkling of light bluish scales, 
sometimes absent. 
Female.— Head, antenne and legs, same as male. Thorax and abdomen 
the same, except the blue of the male is replaced by the ground color of the 
wings. Ground color of wings a light grayish blue, near light slate color; 
some specimens being brighter and with considerable lustre; markings the 
same as male, except that the discoidal spot is wanting (although slightly 
apparent on some specimens), and the border of blackish gray on fore wings, 
especially on hind margins, is more suffused, and covers one half the area of 
the wing, extending from lower angle to a point on costa midway between apex 
and base. Beneath, identical with male. 
The specimens described were taken near San José del Cabo, 
at extreme end of the cape, in the month of August. They were 
flitting about the flowering vines near sea-level. Described from 
sixteen males and seven females in my collection, taken by Mr. 
M. Abbott Frazar in 1888.
