APATURA I. 
Body above tawny, beneath soiled white ; legs yellowish ; palpi same, tipped 
with fuscous ; antennae brown, annulated with white, club blackish above, ferru- 
ginous below, yellowish at tip. 
Female. Expands 2.3 inches. 
Primaries less produced and much broader than in male ; secondaries broad 
and rounded ; the color of under surface more purple, but otherwise like the male. 
This species is allied to Celtis in shape and general markings, but is much 
larger with the spots and ocelli relatively larger, and is of quite different coloring. 
The only specimens I have seen are those figured on the plate. They were sent 
me from New Orleans, and were taken in the vicinity.
