Pamphila barbara A. G. Weeks, Jr.* 



(Plate XXVIII, Figure 3.) 

 Habitat : Bolivia. Expanse : 1.12 inches. 



Head, thorax and abdomen, above, dark brown ; below, gray. Antennae 

 dark brown, with white annulations at base of each joint. Club brown, white 

 near base. 



General color of upper surface blackish brown. Hind marginal fringe of 

 ground color. 



Upper side of fore wing has an indistinct white dot in apical area. Near 

 centre of wing, under the end of discoidal space, are two prominent white 

 dots, the upper being under median, the other being in next lower interspace, 

 larger than the first and somewhat nearer base. 



Upper side of hind wing without markings. 



The hind marginal fringe of lower side of fore wing tends to grayish with 

 a white thread. The ground color is dead blackish brown. The costal area 

 and apex are gray, somewhat tinged with blue. There are three subcostal 

 white dots. The gray apical area is crossed by a series of dots of the ground 

 color, parallel to hind margin and one-sixteenth inch within it. The inner 

 marginal area tends to grayish. The rest of the wing is of ground color, the 

 two prominent white spots of upper side being repeated. 



Under side of hind wing is gray, or, perhaps, dark brown, very heavily 

 dusted with gray scales. Across the centre of the wing, running from 

 centre of costa across to centre of hind margin and following contour of 

 hind margin, is a series of six interspacial bluish marks of considerable 

 prominence and bordered with a dark thread. The one bordering the 

 end of discoidal space has a distinct black border at its basal side, giving 

 the appearance of a black mark in centre of wing. The hind margin has 

 a band of the same blue shade, one-sixteenth inch wide and edged on 

 both sides by a blackish brown thread. Inner marginal area is gray and 

 not encroached upon by dark markings. Hind marginal fringe gray, showing 

 darker at ends of nervures.
