135. PAMPHILA ZABULON, Bd. Lee. 



Expanse of wings 1.2 inches. 



Male. Upper surface pale dull yellow, the fore wings 

 dusky at the base, the outer fourth blackish brown, den-

 to near the base, and very narrowly edging the costa. 

 There is an oblique bar at the end of the cell, and a patch

 beyond this patch the border is narrowed, with a narrow

 contains several irregular pale brown spots ; and there 

 is a dark brown, yellow-washed streak below the sub- 

 median vein.

 suffusing over the basal half of the wings, with the yellow
