1901 WEEKS — SOME NEW BUTTERFLIES 107 
wing. The inner marginal and anal angle areas are light brown. One eighth 
inch within hind margin, and following its contour, is a series of indistinct 
interspacial blotches of light brown, extending from costa to inner margin. 
One sixteenth inch within this is a band of light brown having a tinge of the 
slate color, running from subcostal nervure to submedian nervure, parallel to 
hind margin. These markings are very indistinct, and scarcely show above 
the ground color. 
Taken in April, 1899. A specimen was found in the Hewitson 
collection, but without name, and I can find no record of its hav- 
ing been described. 
Achlyodes fera sp. nov. 
Habitat: Bolivia. | Expanse: 1.50 inches. 
Head, palpi, thorax, abdomen and legs, reddish brown above; beneath, light 
grayish brown. Antennae black above; light brown below, with indistinct 
white annulations at base of each joint. 
General color of fore wing reddish brown. In some lights the basal area 
shows a decided purplish lustre. One quarter distance from base to apex is a 
dark band running from subcostal nervure downward to submedian nervure. 
This bandis not at all prominent. Outside of this, at end of discoidal space, is 
another similar band which disappears by gradual suffusion as it reaches the 
submedian nervure. Outside of this, under the costa, is a small area some- 
what lighter than the general ground color. In apical area, running down- 
ward from costa, are three white dots. Outside of these is a series of reddish 
brown spots, extending from subcostal interspace downward to inner margin, 
and one eighth inch within hind margin; in lower portion of wing they suffuse 
and forma band. The color of this band of spots is a shade lighter than 
ground color and is very indistinct. There is a white dot resting on lower 
submedian nervule at its centre; and just below it, in next interspace, is another. 
Hind marginal area, of ground color, including the fringe. 
Upper side of hind wing of the same ground color as fore wing. The only 
fairly prominent marking is a broad band, somewhat lighter than ground color, 
running across the wing from centre of costa to centre of inner margin, bordered 
on its outer edge by a soft dark line. ‘The area outside of this to hind margin 
is of the ground color, the interspaces having indistinct spots or dashes of 
lighter color. The basal area is of the ground color. 
The most distinct markings of entire upper surface are the white dots. The 
rest of the surface is of ground color, suffusing into lighter shades in places, as 
above described. The markings are so indistinct and so ill defined that they 
hardly deserve to be called bands or spots.
