many are beautifully ornamented with eye-like spots. The cater- 

 pillar is downy and bimucronate behind. The pupa is suspended 

 by the tail ; it is angulated, bimucronate on the front. 



Hipparchia andromacha. — Specific character. Wings 

 brown, with sub-marginal blackish spot ; beneath paler, sub- 

 perlaceous, with a series of ocellate spots. 



Oreas marmorea Andromacha Hubner. 



Desc. Body above, and the superior surface of the wings, 

 brown : anterior wings beyond the middle, with a broad paler 

 band, bifid before, and including a series of four fuscous oval 

 spots, or epupillate ocellas, of which the second, and sometimes 

 the third, are small, and the posterior one largest ; between the 

 band and the exterior edge is a single narrow pale line, sometimes 

 obsolete ; exterior edge alternately white and black : posterior 

 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 ocellse, 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 

 yellow line. 



Obs. 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.
