GRAPTA I. 
GKAPTA FAUNUS. 1—4. 
Grapta Faunus, Edwards, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1862. 
Male. Expands 2.1 inches. 
Primaries deeply incised on both hind and inner margins ; hind margins 
throughout irregularly dentated ; a prominent tail on middle of secondaries and a 
smaller one between this and the anal angle. 
Upper side deep orange fulvous, paler next apex of primaries ; base of both 
wings and abdominal margin of secondaries a little dusky, the latter clothed with 
long hairs ; primaries have a broad black hind margin, dilated at the apex, bor- 
dered within by a series of obsolete tawny lunules ; on the inner margin a large 
black spot joins the marginal band, there enclosing a tawny spot ; on the costal mar- 
gin near apex, a broad abbreviated bar, black without, ferruginous within, runs 
obliquely back almost to the marginal band ; from the middle of the costa a broad 
black bar extends to the median nervure, covering the arc ; within the cell two 
round black spots in a transverse line and a third a little back of the same line near 
inner margin, divided unequally by the lower median nervule; in the median in- 
terspaces, two rounded black spots placed nearly at right angles to the first three ; 
costal edge of both wings and the incision of inner margin of primaries sprinkled 
with black and tawny ; the hind margin of secondaries is black slightly tinted with 
fulvous, clouded within, and passes gradually into the basal color, occupying nearly 
half the wing ; costal margin broad, brownish black ; on this is an elongated black 
spot, below which, nearer the cell, is a second, and in the middle of the wing a 
third, divided by the nervure ; fringe white in the emarginations. 
Under side. Both wings dark brown next base, with an irregular common 
blackish band across the middle, darkest on its outer edge and within the abdomi- 
nal margin, where its outline is obliquely serrated ; beyond this band, the color is 
paler brown mottled with grey white, which is clearest on costa of primaries ; the 
whole surface clouded with vinous, and more or less crossed by fine abbreviated 
streaks of dark brown ; apex of primaries yellow brown, with three small lanceo- 
late, ferruginous spots, the lower one enclosing a blue or green point ; the hind mar- 
gin of both wings, below these, is bordered by a series of confluent blue black, some- 
times olive green spots, following the outline of the wing ; a little anterior to this, 
another series of rounded spots of same color, those on secondaries largest and some-
