June, 'oG] entomological news. 203 



In the apical area are three subcostal elongated semitransparent spots, 

 the uppermost and lowest ones being a little nearer hind margin than the 

 central one. Near base, about one-third distance to apex is an indistinct 

 band of dark brown running from costa to inner margin. Another band 

 runs across the two lower interspaces between the first band and hind 

 margin. Below the subcostal spots is a dusting of dark brown. This, 

 with the band last mentioned, suggests a band across the wing broken by 

 the white spots and ground color at central portion of the wing, this par- 

 tially developed band being continued on hind wing. 



Upper side of hind wing brown, matching fore wing. The wing is 

 crossed from costa to inner margin, by two darker bands, these being 

 continuations of the bands of the fore wing. The basal and anal areas of 

 the wing are covered with brown hairs, causing an apparant suffusion of 

 the bands. 



Both wings have a fringe of the ground color. 



Under side of fore wing very light brown, excepting the costal and api- 

 cal areas, which are darker. The spots of upper surface are repeated, 

 also the dark bands. 



Under side of hind wing very light brown, the hind marginal and basa 

 areas being somewhat darker. The basal area is dusted with light brown 

 scales. The dark bands of upper surface are repeated. 



Hab. — Suapure, Venezuela. 



The semitransparent spots closely resemble those on P. 

 hi cu Ilea Hew. 



Taken in the latter part of January, 1900. 



Pamphila bobae sp. nov. Expanse 1.10 inches. — Head, palpi, antennae, 

 thorax and abdomen above, very dark brown, nearly black ; beneath 

 somewhat lighter. 



Upper side of fore wing dark velvety brown, with no markings, except 

 very indistinct bands of a darker shade, noticeable only on close inspec- 

 tion. The first crosses basal area, the second the end of discoidal space, 

 the third the hind marginal area. In the interspaces along hind margin 

 is a series of similarly indistinct dark markings. 



Upper side of hind wing very dark velvety brown, costal area some- 

 what lighter. 



Under side of fore wing lighter than the upper surface, the dark mark- 

 ings being slightly more noticeable. The lower submedian area near 

 base and entire inner marginal area are very light. 



Under side of hind wing is the same as fore wing, the dark markings of 

 fore wing being repeated. Owing to the very dark shade, these mark- 

 ings scarcely show on the upper surface. 



Hab. — Suapure, VenezAiela. 

 Taken in January, 1900.
