boundary of the black patch above mentioned. Balance of wing black 

 marked along the outer margin by a band of ochreous spots. A row of 

 white well defined spots extends from the outer portion of the anterior 

 margin almost to the inner margin. This band begins three-quarters the 

 distance from the base towards the apex. Inferior wings, black, marked 

 by a well defined ochreous band beginning almost at the anterior margin 

 and extending in a curve to the inner margin. There is a marginal band 

 of ochreous color extending along the lower half of the exterior margin to 

 the apex. Undersides very much lighter. The ochreous of the uppersides 

 replaced by much lighter color, almost light yellow. The row of white 

 spots of upper sides larger and better defined as is also the marginal band. 

 Two black spots are seen in the yellow near the base. Posterior wings 

 marked by a band of very pale yellow, extending across the middle of the 

 wing from the anterior margin curving to the inner margin. Base black, 

 variously marked with white spots. A row of white spots is seen in the 

 black, reaching from the apex to the inner margin just above the margin. 

 There is a marginal band of yellow spots along the outer margin. The 

 yellow band in the posterior wings is broken by the nervules, which are 

 black. Thorax and abdomen black. Abdomen marked by a yellow 

 stripe along the sides. Collar yellow.

Baeotis bifasciata sp. nov. — Color above uniformly black with buff bars 

 and spots, well marked. Extending from the interior margin, one-third 

 to the inner angle from the base, a diagonal narrow bar of buff extends to 

 the costa, not quite reaching the margin. Three-quarters the distance 

 from the base to the apex, a narrow bar passes from the costa toward the 

 inner angle, stopping half way across the wing. Two-thirds the distance 

 from the base to the angle a small narrow bar extends from the inner 

 margin towards the apex, one-fourth the distance to the apex. A small 

 well defined spot appears at the inner angle ; also one in the middle of 

 the exterior margin. Lower wings. One third the distance from the base 

 to the apex, a bar extends from the anterior margin to the inner margin. 

 Two-thirds the distance from the base to the apex, another bar passes 

 parallel to the first from the anterior to the inner margin. Anal angle 

 marked with a well defined spot. Another spot appears in the middle 

 of the exterior margin. Female like male, bufT markings stronger. 

 Undersides same as above. Body uniformly dark approaching black.
