12 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 



Upper side of fore wing dark brown. Costa tawny brown half way to apex. 

 Basal portion of wing slightly dusted with tawny brown. Across the centre of 

 discoidal space there is a prominent white spot. Below this, in second subme- 

 dian interspace, is another spot, but nearer the hind margin ; still nearer the 

 hind margin, in interspace above, is a third white spot. These three white 

 spots are of nearly equal size. Near the apex, extending from costa downwards 

 are three small white spots, and a fourth one still farther down. Hind margin 

 has a slight tawny brown fringe. 



Upper side of hind wing dark brown ; cosfca somewhat lighter. Hind margin 

 has a slight tawny brown fringe. 



Under side of fore wing nearly black, except the costal and apical areas, 

 which are a rich tawny brown. The white spots of the upper surface are re- 

 peated. In the interspaces above the lower of the four apical white spots are 

 two black specks, one above the other, showing a tendency to transparency at 

 their centres. In the lowest submedian interspace, at its centre, there is a dust- 

 ing of light scales. Hind margin is edged with a fine black thread. 



Under side of hind wing a rich tawny brown, darker in marginal and basal 

 areas. In the first and third submedian interspaces is a white dot just below 

 the end of the discoidal space.

(Plate VIII, Figure I.) 

 Habitat : Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse : i.oo inch. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen above black ; beneath, white. Antennae black, 

 with white annulations at base of each joint. Club black above, white beneath. 

 Legs white. 



Fore wing above white, excepting costa, apex, and hind margin. Costa black. 

 Apical area black. Hind margin black, with a white thread just within the 

 margin. Within this thread is a series of interspacial semicircles of white, 

 which, with the white marginal thread, gives the appearance of a series of inter- 

 spacial white circles extending from apex to lower angle. At the extreme edge 

 of the hind margin, just below the apex, is a white dot, and another opposite 

 the end of the first submedian interspace. 



Upper side of hind wing the same as fore wing, except that the costa is 

 white, and the two hind marginal spots are absent. 



The black hind marginal border of both wings and the black costal border of 

 fore wing are one-sixteenth inch wide. 



Under side of fore wing is the same as upper surface, except that the two
