APATURA I. 
APATURA ALICIA, new species. 1 — 4. 
Male. Expands 2.5 inches. 
Upper side : primaries tawny at base, along inner margin, upon hind margin 
above inner angle, and within the cell ; rest of wing fuscous ; in the second me- 
dian interspace a large black ocellus with tawny iris ; upon the outer limb two 
transverse rows of spots, the sub-marginal of four, white, extending from costa to 
the ocellus, rounded or oval, except the second which is cordate and outside the 
line ; the median row, sinuous, of seven, large, yellowish- white, the fifth nearly 
twice the size of any other, the fourth smallest and the two last connected, all rounded 
or oval ; a black bar at extremity of cell and two rounded spots near base. 
Secondaries tawny, fuscous upon costa and upon margin at outer angle ; hind 
margin bordered by two lines, of which the outer one is heavy and parallel to mar- 
gin, the inner is delicate, sinuous from the middle to outer angle ; across the disk a 
row of six oval black spots, the first, third, fourth and fifth nearly equal in size, the 
second much larger than either of the others and the sixth smallest ; beyond these 
an indistinct sinuous brown line and two marks in the cell ; on middle of costa a 
large yellow-white patch ; fringes alternate white and fuscous. 
Under side of primaries grey white next base and pale yellow-brown on 
inner margin ; the apical half much clouded with fuscous ; upon hind margin a 
dull ferruginous line, anterior to which is a second, fuscous, less distinct, partly 
sinuous, and serving as the outer edge of the fuscous space ; two black ocelli, with 
five brown irides, one corresponding to that of upper surface, the other near apex, 
small and enclosing a cordate white spot ; the other spots as above but more dif- 
fused and purer white towards costa ; across the disk a sinuous blackish band bor- 
dering the inner edge of the row of spots ; the black marks in cell as above. 
Secondaries grey-white with a pearly or lilac tinge ; hind margin pale brown ; 
across the disk anterior to and partly embracing the ocelli a narrow cloud of pale fus- 
cous ; upon hind margin a line like that on primaries, preceded by a second cor- 
responding to that of upper side ; beyond the clouded space a brown sinuous line 
running from costal nervure nearly across the wing, then half-way towards and 
over to abdominal margin, forming in the last of its course two crenations, the an- 
terior of which encloses an oval black spot edged by light brown ; in the cell a bar 
and two small spots, and a third next above the cell on subcostal ; six ocelli cor- 
responding to the black spots of upper surface, but smaller, the last one duplex, 
each surrounded by a brown iris and dark halo and enclosing a metallic green 
pupil.
