Three New South American Butterflies 571 



$ . Unlike any known form in the absence of ocelli and the curious 

 striped pattern below. Upperside fuscous with vein stripes and sub- 

 marginal line showing from below. 



Underside yellowish-grey, the margin grey-white. Fore wing with 

 the veins edged with fuscous and other stripes of the same colour, 

 one from base along upper edge of cell, one through the cell from 

 midway between base and vein 2 to between veins 10 and 11, and 

 slightly curved, one across end of cell from its upper angle to just 

 below 3 when it is slightly curved outwards to the inner margin ; a 

 thicker postdiscal stripe (nearer margin than to cell) from inner margin 

 to vein 3 above which it becomes a faint line which follows the curve 

 of the margin to the costa ; a distinct submarginal line from apex 

 to inner margin. The inner margin to vein 2 clouded with fuscous, 

 and cellule 2 slightly dusted with this colour. The inflated base of 

 costa is yellow-brown. 



Hind wing with markings similar to those on fore wing. A sub- 

 basal stripe, a stripe crossing middle of cell, and one crossing cell near 

 its end and cutting the bases of veins 2 and 5, these three stripes fairly 

 straight from costa to inner margin. A thin postdiscal line (nearer 

 margin than to cell) parallel to the outer margin. Veins lb, 2 — 6 

 edged with fuscous. Anal angle below vein 2 orange-yellow, bearing 

 two silvery dots. 



Length of fore wing : 15 mm. 



Habitat. — Leopoldina, Brazil, coll. Michs. As there is more than 

 one place of this name in Brazil, we are uncertain as to which area 

 the name applies.
