  IX. 
  ON 
  SOME 
  SPECIES 
  OF 
  N1S0NIADES. 
  

  

  Nisoniades 
  Pacuyius 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Head 
  and 
  palpi 
  thickly 
  clothed 
  with 
  bristling 
  brown 
  and 
  

   gray 
  hairs, 
  the 
  obtuse 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  palpi 
  only 
  

   visible 
  ; 
  antennse 
  brown 
  above, 
  the 
  joints 
  bordered 
  with 
  white 
  

   beneath 
  and 
  within. 
  Thorax 
  and 
  abdomen 
  beneath 
  with 
  long 
  

   brownish 
  hairs; 
  legs 
  brown 
  with 
  pale 
  hairs 
  at 
  their 
  joints. 
  

  

  Wings 
  approaching 
  those 
  of 
  N. 
  Persius 
  in 
  shape, 
  but 
  the 
  

   primaries 
  somewhat 
  narrower. 
  

  

  Primaries 
  umber-brown, 
  mottled 
  with 
  black 
  as 
  in 
  Martialis 
  ; 
  

   near 
  each 
  extremity 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  conspicuously 
  marked 
  with 
  a 
  

   large 
  black 
  spot, 
  the 
  outer 
  one 
  having 
  the 
  hyaline 
  white 
  cellu- 
  

   lar 
  spot 
  on 
  its 
  outer 
  margin. 
  A 
  row 
  of 
  black 
  spots 
  cross 
  the 
  

   nervules, 
  upon 
  which 
  are 
  the 
  following 
  white 
  hyaline 
  spots 
  : 
  

   four 
  costo-apical 
  ones, 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  costal 
  one 
  is 
  scarce 
  more 
  

   than 
  a 
  dot, 
  the 
  second, 
  the 
  largest 
  and 
  quadrate, 
  the 
  third 
  and 
  

   fourth 
  quite 
  small, 
  with 
  their 
  longest 
  diameter 
  in 
  the 
  direc- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  the 
  breadth 
  of 
  the 
  wing 
  ; 
  in 
  cells 
  2 
  and 
  3 
  each, 
  a 
  tri- 
  

   angular 
  spot 
  with 
  the 
  apex 
  directed 
  toward 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  

   of 
  the 
  wing 
  — 
  that 
  in 
  cell 
  2 
  but 
  partially 
  hyaline 
  ; 
  in 
  cell 
  1 
  b, 
  

   two 
  triangular 
  spots 
  (not 
  hyaline), 
  marked 
  with 
  white 
  scales 
  

   so 
  obscurely 
  in 
  the 
  somewhat 
  imperfect 
  specimen, 
  that 
  pos- 
  

   sibly 
  they 
  may 
  not 
  prove 
  a 
  constant 
  feature. 
  Some 
  white 
  

   hairs 
  and 
  scales 
  separate 
  this 
  row 
  of 
  black 
  spots 
  from 
  a 
  sub- 
  

   terminal 
  row 
  of 
  rounded 
  black 
  spots, 
  which 
  is 
  again 
  separated 
  

   by 
  a 
  few 
  similar 
  white 
  scales 
  from 
  the 
  black 
  terminal 
  margin. 
  

   Fringes 
  umber-brown, 
  their 
  base 
  cut 
  by 
  some 
  white 
  scales 
  

   projected 
  from 
  the 
  black 
  margin. 
  

  

  Secondaries 
  fuscous, 
  faintly 
  marked 
  by 
  some 
  brown 
  spots 
  

   and 
  an 
  indistinct 
  subterminal 
  row 
  of 
  brown 
  dots. 
  Fringes 
  

   snow-white 
  with 
  some 
  brown 
  scales 
  of 
  the 
  terminal 
  margin 
  

   cutting 
  their 
  base, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  apical 
  angle 
  of 
  the 
  wing, 
  extend- 
  

   ing 
  nearly 
  to 
  their 
  outer 
  edge. 
  

  

  Beneath, 
  primaries 
  pale 
  brown, 
  the 
  hyaline 
  spot 
  in 
  cell 
  3 
  

   showing 
  conspicuously, 
  and 
  with 
  white 
  scales 
  covering 
  the 
  

   extreme 
  apical 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  wing. 
  Secondaries 
  reddish
