exterior edge alternately white and black : poste- 

 rior wings with a narrow, fuscous, angulated line 

 across the middle, and a broad pale band beyond 

 the middle, in which is a series of five fuscous 

 epupillate ocellae, with a yellow iris, the third 

 smallest, then the fifth, the first being largest; 

 exterior margin slightly tinged with rufous, and 

 with one or two fuscous lines : beneath perlaceous, 

 with a brown narrow band before the middle, and 

 another rather beyond the middle ; beyond which, 

 is a broad lighter perlaceous band, in which, on 

 the superior wings, are four epupillate ocellae, the 

 two or three anterior ones small; and on the 

 inferior wings are six ocellate spots, consisting of 

 a fuscous spot surrounded by a yellow line, and 

 having a white pupil; first spot distant, third 

 small, fifth double ; exterior margin with a yel- 

 low line. 



OBSERVATIONS. 



Two specimens of this insect were presented 

 to me by Mr. Thomas Nuttall, who obtained 

 them in Arkansaw. It seems probable, that they 

 also inhabit the southern Atlantic States, as 

 Hubner has given a plate of the insect. It has 

 not been found so far north as Pennsylvania.
