with green, the three subapical spots edged with white. 
The semi-hyaline spots in interspaces 2 and 3 are repeated 
and the streak in interspace 1 is much larger and paler 
than on the upper side. Fringes orange fulvous at the in- 
ner angle, above brown with orange fulvous tips, the white 
basal line often more distinct than in the male. 
Secondaries. Similar in color to the male but instead 
of the discal band of black spots in that sex there is an ir- 
regular discal band of five silvery white spots, bordered out- 
wardly with the dark brown ground color. The band of 
spots is composed of two sections, the lower part of three 
spots as follows : one below vein 2, one between veins 2 and 
3 and one between veins 3 and 4, these are in a slightly 
curved line and the middle one is usually the larger. The 
upper section of the band consists of two spots, one between 
veins 6 and 7 and the other, usually the smaller, between 
veins 7 and 8. Fringes orange fulvous at the anal angle, 
above there brown, orange fulvous at the tip. The white 
basal line is very prominent. 
The body and all appendages are similar in color to those 
of the male. 
Expanse : male 32 - 34 mm. ; female 32 - 36 mm. 
Described from 15 males and 6 females collected by D. 
Marston Bates and P. J. Darlington on the La Selle Range, 
Haiti, during the latter part of September, 1934, and one 
female collected by Darlington near Mt. Hotte, Haiti, Octo- 
ber 13, 1934. 
Holotype male, La Selle Mts., September 23. Allotype 
female, La Selle Mts., September 20. Paratypes : 14 males, 
5 females, La Selle Mts., September 18-23 ; 1 female, Roche 
Croix, La Hotte, October 13. The type, allotype, and 16 
paratypes are in the collection of the Museum of Compara- 
tive Zoology, Cambridge, Mass., M. C. Z. 20141 ; 4 paratypes 
(2 males, 2 females) are in the collection of the author. 
It is with pleasure that this beautiful species is named 
for one of its discoverers, Dr. D. Marston Bates, of the 
Museum of Comparative Zoology. 
The mid tibiae of batesi are feebly spined and this char- 
acter together with the linear stigma and genitalic charac- 
ters of the male seem to best ally this insect with those spe-
