  Pseudacrcea 
  simulator. 
  

  

  Male. 
  — 
  Upperside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  slightly 
  transparent, 
  

   brownish 
  black, 
  with 
  black 
  veins 
  and 
  spots 
  at 
  the 
  base. 
  

   Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  a 
  rufous-brown 
  patch 
  extending 
  over 
  the 
  

   lower 
  third 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  nearly 
  to 
  the 
  

   inner 
  angle, 
  and 
  a 
  broad, 
  irregular, 
  oblique 
  band 
  of 
  same 
  

   colour 
  from 
  halfway 
  along 
  the 
  costa, 
  but 
  a 
  little 
  below 
  it, 
  to 
  

   near 
  the 
  outer 
  margin. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  : 
  costal 
  and 
  outer 
  

   margins 
  rather 
  broadly 
  brownish 
  black, 
  black 
  lines 
  between 
  

   the 
  veins 
  extending 
  towards 
  the 
  cell 
  ; 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  wings 
  

   rufous 
  brown. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  as 
  above, 
  but 
  paler. 
  Posterior 
  

   wings 
  with 
  the 
  base, 
  basal 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  and 
  basal 
  half 
  

   of 
  the 
  costal 
  area 
  chocolate-brown. 
  

  

  Female. 
  — 
  Upperside 
  resembles 
  imitator, 
  Trimen, 
  and 
  

   < 
  tirytus, 
  Clerck, 
  but 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  former 
  in 
  having 
  a 
  

   conspicuous 
  white 
  band 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  of 
  anterior 
  wings, 
  

   and 
  from 
  the 
  latter 
  in 
  the 
  broader 
  subapical 
  band 
  on 
  anterior 
  

   wings 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  much 
  larger 
  extent 
  of 
  the 
  white 
  area 
  of 
  the 
  

   posterior 
  wings. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  — 
  The 
  basal 
  chocolate-brown 
  area 
  of 
  posterior 
  

   wings 
  is 
  smaller 
  and 
  narrower 
  than 
  the 
  brown 
  area, 
  and 
  the 
  

   white 
  area 
  is 
  broader 
  than 
  on 
  the 
  undersides 
  of 
  either 
  imitator 
  

   or 
  eurytus. 
  

  

  Expanse 
  of 
  wings, 
  <$ 
  2i, 
  ? 
  3 
  inches. 
  

  

  The 
  male 
  somewhat 
  resembles 
  the 
  male 
  of 
  dolomena, 
  Hew. 
  

   In 
  some 
  specimens 
  of 
  simulator 
  the 
  rufous-brown 
  area 
  below 
  

   the 
  cell 
  on 
  anterior 
  wings 
  is 
  confluent 
  with, 
  instead 
  of 
  being 
  

   narrowly 
  separate 
  from, 
  the 
  oblique 
  subapical 
  band. 
  If 
  the 
  

   female 
  had 
  corresponded 
  in 
  all 
  respects 
  with 
  Mr. 
  Trimen's 
  

   figure 
  of 
  imitator, 
  female, 
  I 
  should 
  have 
  assumed 
  the 
  male 
  

   above 
  described 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  male 
  of 
  that 
  species, 
  which 
  I 
  believe 
  

   is 
  unknown. 
  

  

  Euxanthe 
  tiberius. 
  

  

  Upjjerside. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  three 
  rows 
  of 
  greenish- 
  

   white 
  spots, 
  the 
  first 
  row 
  transverse 
  across 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  

   wings 
  with 
  five 
  spots, 
  the 
  first 
  within 
  the 
  cell 
  at 
  its 
  upper 
  

   extremity 
  triangular, 
  with 
  apex 
  downwards, 
  the 
  second 
  beyond 
  

   the 
  cell 
  larger, 
  the 
  third 
  about 
  same 
  size 
  below 
  it, 
  the 
  fourth 
  

   the 
  largest, 
  oblong, 
  scarcely 
  extending 
  below 
  the 
  cell 
  on 
  its 
  

   inner 
  side, 
  the 
  fifth 
  towards 
  the 
  inner 
  angle 
  bifid 
  ; 
  the 
  second 
  

   row 
  halfway 
  between 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  third 
  rows 
  irregular, 
  

   with 
  eight 
  spots 
  ; 
  first 
  spot 
  near 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  oval, 
  the 
  

   next 
  narrower, 
  the 
  third 
  and 
  fourth 
  oval, 
  about 
  same 
  size
