same general pattern as found in isophthalma and exilis Boisd. 
At the base is a narrow area of greenish scaling. There are 
seven spots on the outer margin, the anal one and apical two 
all metallic green, the remaining black, with a convex line 
of green irroration in each. Between these spots and the outer 
margin is a thin line of dull orange, which extends basally 
between the spots for a short distance. Basal to the row of 
spots is a faint and rather indefinite whitish line. 
Holotype , male, Great Inagua Island, Bahamas, Feb. 1934 
(Armour Exp.). 
Paratype , male, same data. 
Holotype and paratype, M.C.Z. no. 25738. 
Remarks . This species differs from the related isophthalma 
and exilis in the absence of a white patch of fringe near the 
anal angle of the fore wing, and in a darker color below, espe- 
cially on the fore wing. It also appears to be darker above. 
Two specimens from Rum Cay (Feb. 1934, Armour Exp.) 
seem referable to barbouri . 
. This species is named for Dr. Thomas Barbour, director of 
the Museum of Comparative Zoology.
