first median followed by a continuous double curved submarginal black 

 line extending from the costa to the inner angle. The base of the costa 

 is black. There is a large subtriangular transverse black spot next the 

 base, a black bar surmounted by a very narrow curved black line at the 

 end of the cell, and a conspicuous black transverse spot above the inner 

 margin near its middle. The secondaries upon the underside have a 

 black transverse curved line at the base followed by a spindle-shaped 

 transverse black line extending from the costa to the inner margin; this 

 is succeeded by another fusiform black mark running from the costa to 

 the end of the cell, which is marked by a reddish spot. Upon the inner 

 margin there are two black spots coalescing to form a subhastate mark 

 upon the diverging ends of which is the red triangular mark. Beyond 

 these is the median transverse series of spots, the or\p nearest the costa 

 oval, the one beyond the cell club-shaped continued to the inner margin, 

 as a narrow curved line. This series of spots is divided outwardly by 

 narrow parallel lines. The outer margin is broadly black interrupted on 

 the margin by a series of cream-colored oval marks, which fuse with each 

 other, and are pupiled with gray. There is a large ocellus on the first 

 median and a small one at the anal angle. Both are crimson pupiled with 

 black. Expanse 22 mm.

10. L. zanthopoecilns sp. nov. J*. — Upperside: The upperside is dark 

 brown, with a large yellow suboval spot on the primaries. Underside: 

 The underside is white marked with black lines and spots. The primaries 

 have a basal streak followed by a conspicuous subtriangular spot, which 

 crosses the cell, and this is followed by three widely separated black 

 spots, one in the middle of the costa, another at the end of the cell, and 

 the third near the inner margin about the middle. The outer third is 

 broadly black, and this black area is divided by four submarginal white 

 lines, the innermost of which is narrow and broken, fusing at the first 

 median nervule with the second, which is broad and irregularly curved 

 and extends from the costa to the second median nervule. The third is 

 narrow, parallel to the outer margin and the fourth is a mere line marking 

 the inner edge of the fringe, which is black. The lines upon the prima- 

 ries at the base are extended upon the secondaries, and in addition there 

 are six or seven spots in the median area, of which those near the inner 

 margin are smallest. There is an irregularly curved submedian line of 

 brown geminate at the outer anal angles, and an ocellus pupiled with blue 

 scales in the first median nervule. 



9- — The female is exactly like the male, except that it has a short 

 curved median band upon the upper surface of the secondaries. Expanse 

 25 mm.

 with a blue reflection. The posterior wings have the fringes gray; a nar-
