104 FIFLD AND EOREST. 



inner row of spots is ferruginous as also are the bars in cell; of these 

 last the inner one is broken. 



Secondaries have the ocelli repeated and an additional one present 

 on costal margin ; the seventh is also duplex, and on inner margin is 

 another; all these in narrow yellow rings with black edging, and pu- 

 pillated with lilac; the whitish spots of disk repeated in purer color, 

 enlarged, and their lines extended across the wing ; and bordering 

 these on the inner side is an irregularly scalloped brown line; the 

 spots in the cell repeated, distinct, whitish with brown edges. 



Body above covered with yellow-brown hairs ; beneath, both thorax 

 and abdomen white, but in some examples gray ; legs pale fulvous or 

 buff, white on the inner sides ; palpi pure white in front, fulvous at 

 the sides above the eyes ; eyes crimson ; antenna; fuscous above, an- 

 nulated with yellowish, pale fulvous below ; club black tipped with 

 fulvous. 



Female. — Expands from 2 to 2.5 inches. 



Upper side still more yellow, and the fuscous area very much re- 

 stricted ; the ocelli on primaries three in number, and as in the male ; 

 the outer spots pure white towards costa ; on secondaries the ocelli 

 are more or less pupillated. Underside of primaries varied in shades 

 of brown, the basal area reddish, and the outer portions gray-tinted ; 

 the ocelli either four or five, in the latter case the fifth being present 

 on the upper subcostal interspace, and incomplete ; in some examples 

 both rows of spots are wholly of one shade of buff, in others the outer 

 ones are white; on secondaries the colors are gray- brown in shades, 

 and pale buff, the discal band and the area next beyond the ocelli of 

 the latter color. 



The individuals of the summer brood, emerging in June are very 

 large, the females especially, and the yellow hue of upper surface is 

 decided, while the brown is paler. The under side is also paler, and 

 the basal area of primaries often tinted with yellow rather than red. 



This species differs from Celtis by its greater size and difference in 

 coloration, by the additional ocelli on primaries, and the frequently 

 pupillated ocelli of secondaries. I have before me 2 % 7 $ ; on the 

 upper side primaries none have less than three ocelli, some four ; on the 

 under*side none have less than three, some four, others five. Of 10 $ 

 Celtis \w my collection none have more than one ocellus on upper side, 

 on the under side 7 have 2, 3 have 3. Of 5 Alicia none have more than
