PSYCHE. 



[September iS93- 



fourths of the distance from the base to the 

 inner margin two-thirds of the distance from 

 the base, defined inwardly by a pale gray 

 line, which is interrupted on the nervules by 

 ochraceous dots, marking the origin of a 

 regular series of hastate markings which lie 

 on the side toward the base with their 

 points toward the base, which are dark 

 brown shaded with pale gray toward the 

 margin. Beyond this dark brown line the 

 outer third of the wing is fawn marked by 

 a subapical brown shading and a similarly 

 submarginal shading near the" outer angle, 

 both fading inwardly into gray. The sec- 

 ondaries have the costa and the outer mar- 

 gin of the prevalent fawn color of the prim- 

 aries with the inner margin and inner angle 

 broadly glaucous gray'. There is a broad 

 patch of black hairs at the base followed by 

 a black incomplete transverse band running 

 from the inner margin to beyond the end 

 of the cell, and gradually widening from 

 the inner margin. This is followed by a 

 narrower black line which is very obscure 

 upon the costa, but gradually widens toward 

 the inner margin and becomes more dis- 

 tinct and terminates upon the internal vein. 

 This is again followed by a very broad, dark 

 brown band which runs from the costa 

 before the outer angle to the inner margin, 

 its inner edge being straight, its outer edge 

 curved and denticulate, and denned by a 

 pale gray waved line. The under side of the 

 wings is very pale fawn, the bands beyond 

 the end of the cells reappearing from the 

 upper surface, paler, but more distinctly 

 defined. Expanse, 130 mm.

 blackish-brown ; antennae and front pale 

 grayish; collar dark brown ; patagia, thorax, 

 and upper side of abdomen dark fawn ; legs 

 and lower side of abdomen brownish. The 

 prevalent color of the upper and lower side of 

 the wings is dark fawn, paler toward the apex 

 of both wings. The primaries have a small 

 •circular white dot at the end of the cell on both 



sides of the wing. Upon the upper side of 

 the primaries near the inner margin before 

 the base there is a small subquadrate blackish 

 spot, and on the costa of the primaries before 

 the apex a similarly colored short band con- 

 stricted at the middle. In addition, the basal 

 third of the primaries is crossed by a series of 

 waved and denticulate lines forming intricate 

 patterns. About the middle of the primaries 

 beyond the cell there are four waved and den- 

 ticulate lines arranged in pairs, the inner pair 

 curving toward the base on the costa, and 

 toward the inner margin about its middle, 

 the outward pair bowed outwardly beyond the 

 region of the cell. These lines are followed 

 by a straight dark brown line running from 

 the apex to the inner margin three-fourths of 

 the distance from the base, defined inwardly 

 by a paler line interrupted on the nervules 

 by small subhastate markings. The nervules 

 beyond this straight line for a short distance 

 are dark brown and accentuated with small 

 whitish dots. Beyond these again are paler 

 cloudings followed by darker cloudings, that 

 nearest the outer margin below the apex being 

 the darkest. The secondaries have the trans- 

 verse lines of the primaries continued upon 

 them, most distinctly marked toward the inner 

 margin. Near the apex of the secondaries 

 is a broad brownish patch constricted some- 

 what at the middle. On the under side of 

 both wings the lines of the upper side reappear 

 upon the pale fawn ground beyond the cell, but 

 are more regular and more distinct. 



$ . The female is marked much as the 

 male but all the markings are paler and more 

 obscure. Expanse, $, 78 to 82 mm., $, 

 85 to 87 mm. Habitat, Kangw^and Talaguga. 



In one of the males before me, the tranVerse 

 markings of the upper side of the primaries 

 are almost obsolete.
