7O ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 



Pamphila reedi A. G. Weeks, Jr. 1 



(Plate XXVI, Figure i.) 

 Habitat: Bolivia, Coroico district. Expanse: 1.28 inches. 



Head, palpi, thorax, abdomen and legs, bronzy brown above; below, dis- 

 tinctly grayish. 



Upper surface of both wings bronzy brown, with some lustre. Fringes at 

 hind margin, of same color. The markings of fore wing are indistinct and in 

 many specimens are quite invisible. One-third distance from apex to base are 

 four white dots in successive interspaces, the first two in a line toward hind 

 margin, the lower two in a line toward inner angle. There is a larger light 

 spot at end of discoidal space, and below it, under first median nervure, another 

 larger one nearer the base. Below this, in next lower interspace and nearer 

 the hind margin, is a whitish speck scarcely visible on the most pronounced 

 types. The upper surface of hind wings is bronzy brown without markings. 



The under surface of both wings is grayish, especially the hind wing. The 

 basal area of fore wing is dark brown, without lustre. The costal region is 

 sprinkled with gray-brown scales, more prominent toward apex, and extend- 

 ing downward along hind margin, nearly disappearing at inner angle. The 

 indistinct markings of upper surface are distinctly white and prominent and 

 somewhat suffused. The small speck on lower submedian nervure of upper 

 surface is suffused outward and inward, forming an extensive white dash, the 

 most prominent feature of the under surface. The edge of inner margin is 

 lightish brown. 



The under side of hind wing is dark brown, but so heavily dusted with 

 light brown or grayish scales that the general appearance is grayish brown. 

 One-sixteenth inch within hind margin is a dark brown line running from 

 upper angle toward anal angle, not prominent. Just within this is another 

 similar line, more prominent than the outer one. Both of these stop at the 

 submedian nervule. Midway from apex to base at costa are two wavy lines, 

 one-sixteenth inch apart, extending downward across end of discoidal space 

 and then diverging as they approach submedian nervure. The inner marginal 

 space is somewhat lighter than general ground color. 



While the markings of upper surface may vary in intensity, even to com- 

 plete obliteration, the markings of under surface are less variable, and appar- 

 ently are quite distinctive of this species. 



Taken near Coroico in May, 1899.
