6 WEEKS — UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA [Pon 
marked with darkish brown and white, reflecting markings above. Hind mar- 
gin edged with blackish brown, and within, covering one third of marginal area, 
darkish brown, with a row of white specks in interspaces. Costa of secondaries 
white, same as ground color. Hind margin edged with a line of blackish 
brown, shading off into ground color. In space below submedian nervule, the 
dark markings of upper side show more prominently than elsewhere. 
Described from twelve specimens in my collection, taken near 
San José del Cabo, Lower California, by Mr. M. Abbott Frazar, 
1888. 
Myscelia streckeri Skinner.' 
(Pigie Ti Pigeure 2, (Oe Eigen ds) 
Habitat: Lower California. Expanse: male, 2.12 inches; 
female, 2.50 inches. 
The superior wings are of a rich black with a purplish cast, a broken line 
of bluish purple marginal dots runs very close to the exterior margin. There 
are three white apical spots surrounded by the same heliotrope color; running 
from the base for about one quarter inch into the discoidal cell are two of 
heliotrope or purple-blue; starting from the base is a large blotch of the same 
color extending into the wing for nearly one half inch. The inferior wings are 
emarginate and of the same color as the superiors only somewhat lighter, and 
have the same marginal spots with a faint indication of a submarginal band. 
There is a heliotrope blotch on the inferiors similar to that on the superiors; 
the under side of the inferiors and the apices of the superiors on the under 
side look very much like the under side of the inferiors of Pyramezs atalanta, 
and I think cannot be described in words. 
The female is larger, lighter in color, and in addition to the three apical 
spots has two on the wing near the centre of the costa, and three which are 
submarginal. The three apical spots are not surrounded by heliotrope color 
as in the male, and the others are plain white. ‘The under side is the same as 
in the male. 
Described from five specimens from Lower California through 
the kindness of Mr. A. G. Weeks, Jr. 
I take pleasure in dedicating this species to my friend, Dr. 
Herman Strecker.
