Vol. I] WILLIAMS— BUTTERFLIES AND HAWK-MOTHS 301 



The above states that the wings are without tails, below 

 grayish with subundulate, double, white lines, those of the 

 secondaries irregular ; secondaries with three to four black anal 

 spots full of blue ; eyes hairy. 



Male : Wings above violet bluish, the secondaries with from 

 two to three black anal spots, which are sub-obscure. 



Female: Wings fuscuous above, more or less powdered 

 with blue towards the base, the primaries with the fuscous dis- 

 coidal spot obscure, secondaries with four black anal spots, 

 bordered anteriorly with blue. 



Habitat Puna (March), the island of St. Joseph' (April), 

 Galapagos Islands (May). 



Related to L. parrhasio God. It is equal in size to L. 

 Optileti, but now and then it is not larger than L. Also. 



Male : Wings above violet blue, exterior margin very nar- 

 rowly infuscated. Secondaries bear two to three black anal 

 points. All the wings beneath are grayish. The primaries 

 are traversed by six white subundulate lines arranged in pairs, 

 the external pair of which is shortened posteriorly ; secondaries 

 also have lines of this kind, but the intermediate pair is very 

 often twice interrupted, and the external pair only occupies the 

 space between veins 2-6, and is joined together with the inter- 

 mediate pair at the end anteriorly as well as posteriorly. There 

 is a single white line at the base of the secondaries. There 

 are oblong circles along the exterior margin of all the wings 

 and within these the space is occupied by confluent white 

 angles. Three to four of the anal circles of the secondaries 

 are ocelliforme, black in the middle, and full of blue. There 

 is a fuscous streak edged posteriorly with white, extending 

 from the base of the primaries up to the middle field, near the 

 front margin. Spaces between the transverse lines of the 

 primaries more obscure at the base. 



Female : Similar to the male beneath ; above, fuscous, with 

 an obscure transverse, fuscous spot at the end of the cell of 

 the primaries. Above, all the wings of the 2 are powdered 

 v/ith blue at the base, and the secondaries have four black anal 

 points edged anteriorly with blue.
