ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 27 



Pamphila bryanti A. G. Weeks, Jr. 1 



(Plate XVIII, Figure 2.) 

 Habitat : Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse, 1.25 inches. 



Head and thorax above rich dark brown, with hairs of a somewhat greenish 

 tinge; below, light brown or mouse color. Abdomen above the same ; below, 

 mouse color, tending to white along central line. Antennse nearly black above; 

 below, the same, suffusing to light brown towards the club. Legs mouse color. 



Upper side of fore wing rich dark brown above, with five or six white mark- 

 ings. The costa is well dusted with golden scales from base midway to apex. 

 Hind margin has a slight whitish fringe. In apical area two subcostal white 

 dots. Below these, in centre of wing, are two large white spots, one above the 

 other, and in interspace below, but nearer base, is a much larger white spot. 



Upper side of hind wing rich dark brown. From upper angle to anal angle 

 is a line of scattered non-prominent lighter hairs. Hind margin has a slight 

 whitish fringe. The central portion of the wing, covering discoidal space area, 

 has a decidedly dark line in some lights, hardly noticeable on casual inspection. 



Under side of fore wing dark brown without the richness of upper surface. 

 The white spots are repeated, being, as in many of this genus, semitransparent. 

 Costa slightly dusted with lighter scales. Inner marginal area darker than 

 rest of the wing. Hind margin is edged with a black thread. 



Under side of hind wing the same color as fore wing. The line of lighter 

 hairs of upper surface extending from upper angle across centre of wing towards 

 anal angle and parallel to hind margin, appears as a line of interspacial dots, 

 not well defined, but fairly prominent. 



Variations. In a few specimens there is a white dot at end of 

 discoidal space on upper surface of fore wing, and also a third but 

 minute subcostal dot. The white markings show scarcely any varia- 

 tions, however, in the specimens in my collection. 



Taken in January, 1900.
