median white band crosses from near the apex to the center of the hind 

 margin, passing around and touching the ocellus. Where the band 

 passes the ocellus there may be a white spur extending from the band 

 just above and around the ocellus for a brief distance, or the white may 

 be produced along the vein at this point thus inclosing a brown spot be- 

 tween ihe white and the corner of the ocellus. There is a subterminal 

 band of white, clear cut along both edges and distinct against the brown 

 field, which latter shows beyond it as a brown margin to the wing, in 

 some specimens very slightly tinged with a paler shade. Between the 

 median and subterminal bands there is an almost invisible waving fine 

 line. Indeed it is probable that this line occurs only on the under side 

 and shows through. On the discal nervure there is a conspicuous round 

 ocellus with a slightly hyaline central streak. The outer border of the 

 ocellus is black, inclosing a narrow circle of orange and outwardly a 

 bluish crescent. Apically there is a blackish blotch and a crimson dash, 

 these marks however apparently having no specific value. Secondaries : 

 basal two-thirds tinged with white making the basal area very much 

 lighter; this area terminates against the outer brown portion of the 

 wing in a series of scallops, one between each pair of veins. Again we 

 have the clear cut subterminal white band leaving the outer margin 

 brown. Within the basal area an ocellus similar to the forewing but 

 smaller. 



On the reverse all the wings show more white, and the transverse in- 

 visible lines now show as conspicuous fine scalloped white lines. On 

 the secondaries the cell is more or less completely outlined in brown. 



Females. — Ornamentation as in the male. All four wings more nearly 

 unicolorous, the basal area in the secondaries, however, being distinctly 

 paler than the outer third. The basal and median bands are paler than 

 in the male, but the subterminal white bands are as bright. The basal 

 band in the forewing is faint, yet shows the same tendency to be pro- 

 duced along the veins. In the secondaries the basal area being browner 

 than in the male the basal and median bands show, the latter being clean 

 instead of scalloped as in the male. The antennae are bright orange. 



Males expand about 50 mm. Females about 60 mm. 



Described from three males and three females I have 

 affixed type labels to one male and one female in the collection 

 of the Brooklyn Institute Museum. In these the basal and 

 median lines are not connected. Type labels are also on one 

 male and one female in the collection of Mr. Jacob Doll. In 

 these the veins between the two bands show white. 



Habitat Arizona. 



The above described species is to be found in many cabinets 

 carrying the specific name galbina. Recently, however, Mr. 

 Jacob Doll has captured a large series of the true galbiiia in
