centre, downward from costa, is a series of five interspacial white spots, a con- 
tinuance of the line of white spots of fore wing. The central portion of the 
wing is transparent with a yellow tinge, the portion touching hind marginal 
black area being transparent with a blackish tinge. The nervures and nervules 
of this transparent area are bright yellow at its centre, turning to black out- 
ward. The anal angle and inner marginal areas are bright tawny up to the 
lower submedian nervule. This bright tawny area is the prominent feature of 
the coloring of the upper surface. 
The under side of both wings is the same as upper surface, except that there 
is a dash of yellow on the costa of hind wing, running one quarter inch upward 
from the base. 
Taken in May, 1899. It resembles closely C. praxil/a Hew. 
Taygetis puritana sp. nov. 
Habitat: Bolivia, near Coroico. | Expanse : 3.00 inches. 
Head, thorax, abdomen and legs, dark brown above and beneath. Antennae 
a shade lighter with small dark annulations at base of each joint. Club black 
above and beneath. 
The entire upper side of both wings is dark brown. Ina very strong light 
there is some lustre in basal.areas. The hind margins have a white interspa- 
cial border, quite prominent. 
Under side of fore wing light brown, much lighter than upper surface. The 
prominent marking is a broad band of darker shade crossing centre of wing and 
extending across lower wing also. The basal area is light brown. A soft dark 
brown line or band crosses centre of discoidal space, extending to inner margin, 
but nearer base after leaving discoidal space and more indistinct. The end of 
discoidal space is marked by a fine thread of the same color. Running from 
costa, one quarter inch outside from discoidal space, is a line of dark brown 
ending at submedian nervure. The area between this line and discoidal space 
is darker than ground color, being darkest at the line and shading to lighter base- 
ward. Outside of this line is an area of brighter brown, bordered one quarter 
inch inside of hind margin by a jagged dark thread. Through the centre of 
this area, from costa to inner margin, is a series of six interspacial white dots 
surrounded by dark brown. ‘The hind margin is bordered by a white thread. 
The under side of hind wing is of same ground color as of fore wing, the 
band of fore wing being somewhat more prominent. The inner edge of this 
band is bordered by a dark line running from costa, one third inch from base, 
and ending near centre of inner margin. The line bordering outer edge ex-
