for the new genus. So far as I have been able to ascertain, 

 this name is not preoccupied. 



Satyrimima weberi gen. et sp. nov. 

 The antennae are scarcely half as long as the costa of the primaries, 

 slender, with a moderately long club at the end, blackish above, lighter 

 in color on the lower side. The eyes are naked. The palpi are relatively 

 short, divergent, with the basal joint short, the second joint strongly 

 curved upward, the third small, conical, acuminate, porrect. The first 

 and second joints are densely clothed with appressed scales, the third 

 less so. The fore-legs are armed at their extremities with minute re- 

 curved claws. The color of the legs is dark brown. A better idea of 

 the neuration of the wings is conveyed by the accompanying cut 

 (Fig. i) than could be given by a lengthy verbal description.

5 . Expanse of wings 40 mm. The ground color of the upper side 

 of the wings is light indigo-blue, through which the dark bands of the 

 under side show through more or less distinctly. The primaries at 

 the apex and on the outer margin are broadly black ; the secondaries 

 are narrowly margined with black, the margin being widest at the outer 

 angle, and gradually diminishing in width toward the anal angle. 

 Beyond the cell of the primaries toward the apex is a diffuse white 

 spot. A similar white spot is located on the secondaries on the upper 

 margin, a little beyond the middle. The thorax and abdomen are 

 black above, whitish below. The wings on the under side are white, 

 banded and spotted as shown in the accompanying cut (Fig. 2). 



5 . Expanse 45 mm. The wings of the female are broader than 

 those of the male. The white spot which appears on the primaries of 

 the male marks the uppermost point of an acutely angulated white 

 band, which from this point runs inward to the middle of the costa of 

 the primaries, and downward to the middle of the inner margin of 

 this wing and is continued upon the secondaries toward the anal 

 angle of the latter, becoming gradually indistinct before reaching the
