Hyparpax, van tyria, n. van 

 By Annie Trumbull Slosson. 



Differing markedly from typical form of H. aiirostriata Graef 

 by having wings so thickly sprinkled or dusted with dark red 

 that the background is nearly concealed. The whole tint of 

 primaries thus becomes a deep wine color or Indian red. The 

 setondaries, instead of being white "with traces of pink scales 

 along outer margin," have a broad red border, which leaves little 

 more than the base white. The thorax is very dark smoky brown 

 with faint purplish tinge. In one striking form, almost deserving 

 a varietal name of its own, the red dots on primaries coalesce 

 and form a solid, heavy median band, making the whole area 

 between the two characteristic transverse lines an even, uniform 

 red. 



Described from nine males and two females taken at various 

 times in Punta Gorda, Fla.
