FIELD AND FOREST. I03 



at sides : antennae fuscous above, fulvous below ; club black, tipped 

 with bright fulvous. 



Female. — Expands 2.5 inch. 



Color more tawny, the bases more obscured, the marginal lines 

 heavier and in primaries confluent; the submarginal spots on prima- 

 ries heavy and connected with the band and the enclosed fulvous 

 spaces are paler than the ground and towards apex fade into white ; the 

 discal band heavy and confluent; on secondaries the band is macular 

 and the spots much bent and partly lanceolate ; under side as in the 

 male, the fulvous shade of primaries deeper red. 



From a large number of examples taken by the late G. R. Crotch 

 at Lakes Lahache and Quesnelle. British Columbia, of which 10 S 

 and 4 $ are now before me. The species is notiecable at once from 

 the macular appearance of upper surface. 



Apatura Antonia. 



Belongs to the Celtis group. 



Male. — Expands 2 inches. 



Upper side yellowish-brown, the apical area of primaries pale fus- 

 cous; the marginal borders and lines as in Celtis; on primaries are 

 two rows of white spots, the outer row consisting of either four or five, 

 and of these, the spot in lower subcostal interspace forms the pupil to a 

 black ocelus in narrow and faint fulvous ring; and the fourth and 

 fifth spots, in the median interspaces, form pupils to large ocelli, each 

 in fulvous ring ; the fifth white spot not always present ; the spots of 

 the inner row as in Celtis j in the cell two bent bars. 



Secondaries have six ocelli as in Celtis, sometimes all blind, some- 

 times three or four of them pupillated with a few lilac scales; on the 

 middle of costal margin a large dull white spot; and five small spots of 

 same color form a band which passes round the end of cell ; in the 

 cell two faint bars, one of them extending into the next upper inter- 

 space. 



Under side varies, some examples being largely white, the margins, 

 as well as the apical area of primaries, gray-brown ; in others the white 

 is sordid and the apex more decidedly brown ; the submarginal lines 

 dull ferruginous ; the ocelli of primaries repeated, the uppermost one 

 nearly as large as either of the others, each with white pupil when the 

 same is present on the upper side, and each in a broad yellow ring, 

 which has a fine edge of black; the sinuous stripe which precedes the
