Achlyodes seatoni A. G. Weeks, Jr. 1 

 (Plate XLI, Figure 2.) 



Habitat : Bolivia, 200 miles north of Cochabamba. Expanse : 

 1.25 inches. 



Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, abdomen and legs, nearly black above; 

 beneath, dark brown. 



Ground color of fore wing nearly black. Fringe of hind margin the same. 

 One-eighth inch within the hind margin, running from costa down to submedian 

 nervure, is a line of light brown, broken by the nervules, each interspacial por- 

 tion being concave on basal side. Within this, in subcostal interspaces, are 

 two bluish green dots. In the interspaces below, these dots develop into promi- 

 nent interspacial dashes increasing in area to submedian nervure, where the 

 lowest one is one-sixteenth inch wide. These dashes form, practically, a band 

 of bluish green starting at submedian nervure and terminating in two dots at 

 costa. The inner edge is distinctly marked ; the outer edge suffuses into 

 ground color. The basal half of the wing is of ground color, except that there 

 is a dash of bluish green scales along the median nervure. At the base, just 

 above submedian nervure, are a number of bluish green scales. 



The hind wing has a marginal border of dark brown, nearly one-quarter inch 

 wide, dusted somewhat with light scales. The area within this, and covering 

 one-half the wing area, is rich purple, with much lustre. 



The under side of fore wing is dark brown tending to blackish in subcostal 

 area. The brown line of upper surface is repeated, but is very indistinct, 

 scarcely visible. There are no other markings. 



Under side of hind wing the same ground color as of fore wing, although 

 somewhat darker. There are no markings beyond a scattering of light scales 

 covering the entire wing, more prominent on a line running from costa to anal 

 angle, one-quarter inch within hind margin. 



Taken five days travel north from Cochabamba in August, 1899.
