Psyche 
[Sept -Dec. 
rather as in pyracmon. Primaries: with a cloud of dull fulvous 
discally (presumably less evident in fresh specimens) ; M 3 and 
lower corner of cell R + M outlined in same. Secondaries: with 
two prseterminal spots, very distinct, small, oval, unrimmed; 
dimly discernible second discal line which is dark fuscous, 
tinged outwardly with diffuse dull fulvous. 
Androconial mark: resembling that of pyracmon , but more 
expanded (conspicuously so in faded specimens) towards dor- 
sum ; consisting of three patches : large rhomboid with concave 
outer edge in Cu 2 ; a much narrower one in Cui, slightly con- 
cave outwardly; smallish patch in M 3 ; and of a crescent rather 
tending to a triangle but still retaining pyracmon ’s character, 
although larger and reaching down in cell R + M to somewhat 
beyond the level of Cui. (See fig. 3.) 
Female upperside: primaries rather bright tawny fulvous in 
disc, otherwise fulvous brown inclining to fuscous towards base 
and terminally; second discal brownish, distinct; first discal 
suffused with the brownish shading (but distinct in all other 
specimens I have examined which thus look more definitely 
banded than the only female of the typical race). Secondaries: 
fulvous in disc, fuscous basally, with a fuscous border in which 
the fulvous aureoles of the two distinct black small oval prae- 
terminal spots are broadened basally, and fuse to form an 
inner band. 
Male and female underside: ground color similar on both 
wings (except for a space between second discal and subtermi- 
nal in secondaries where it is lighter), of pyracmon type, but 
rather drabber, more yellowish, and regularly striated with 
browner striae (except in said space). Primaries: second discal, 
corresponding to termen, angularly curving around cell R + M 
from costa (less angularly in some females where it thus re- 
sembles pyracmon ), then sloping towards first discal with its 
concavity outward, subparallel here to subterminal which runs 
midway between second discal and termen, all through sub- 
parallel to termen, to reach costa. Secondaries: second discal 
tending, especially in female, to be straight (cp. the primal 
straightness of its course in pyracmon despite the dentations), 
and distinctly passing in front of the upper V-mark to connect 
with second discal line of primaries. Cinereous irroration re- 
duced to small weak suboval patch in middle of outer third, 
speckled rather than striated with darker (dull brownish)
