ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 6/ 



Upper side of hind wing much the same. The tawny spot in centre of 

 wing is a little larger than that of fore wing and is a shade darker. 



Under side of fore wing the same as upper surface, with the following ex- 

 ceptions. The tawny spot is more suffused toward inner margin. The ground 

 color is more a dead blackish. The costa is very light tawny, nearly yellowish 

 white. The apical area is nearly yellowish white, diminishing down hind margin 

 to a point at lower angle. 



The under side of hind wing is entirely very light tawny, matching same 

 color of fore wings. The inner marginal area is somewhat dusted with darkish 

 scales. 



Described from one specimen taken in April, 1899. A specimen 

 much the same as this was taken in Brazil and is in the Godman col- 

 lection, unnamed. It is undoubtedly the same species. 



Achlyodes fera A. G. Weeks, Jr. 1 



(Plate XXIV, Figure 3.) 

 Habitat: Bolivia. Expanse: 1.50 inches. 



Head, palpi, thorax, abdomen and legs, reddish brown above ; beneath, light 

 grayish brown. Antennae black above ; light brown below, with indistinct 

 white annulations at base of each joint. 



General color of fore wing reddish brown. In some lights, the basal area 

 shows a decided purplish lustre. One-quarter distance from base to apex is a 

 dark band running from subcostal nervure downward to submedian nervure. 

 This band is not at all prominent. Outside of this, at end of discoidal space, is 

 another similar band which disappears by gradual suffusion as it reaches the 

 submedian nervure. Outside of this, under the costa, is a small area some- 

 what lighter than the general ground color. In apical area, running down- 

 ward from costa, are three white dots. Outside of these is a series of reddish- 

 brown spots, extending from subcostal interspace downward to inner margin, 

 and one-eighth inch within hind margin; in lower portion of wing they suffuse 

 and form a band. The color of this band of spots is a shade lighter than 

 ground color and is very indistinct. There is a white dot resting on lower 

 submedian nervule at its centre ; and just below it, in next interspace, is another. 

 Hind marginal area of ground color, including the fringe. 



Upper side of hind wing of the same ground color as fore wing. The only 

 fairly prominent marking is a broad band, somewhat lighter than ground color,
