ARGYNNIS IV. 
ARGYNNIS BREMNERII, 1-4. 
Argynnis Bremnerii, Edwards, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., 1872. 
Primaries long, narrow, produced apically; hind margin more or less con¬ 
vex. 
Male. — Expands 2 to 2.4 inches. 
Upper side deep fulvous, occasionally yellow-fulvous, dark brown at base and 
nearly up to mesial band; hind margins bordered by two parallel black lines, 
the intervening fulvous space divided by the black nervules; resting on these 
lines a common series of black crescents, enclosing fulvous spots, small, mostly 
double-convex; other markings as in allied species, very heavy, as in Cybele; 
the mesial band confluent on secondaries, and connected with the spot on the 
arc by a black bar, that crosses the lower sub-costal interspace ; this spot is 
shaped like an inverted C.; fringes luteous, black at tips of nervules. 
Under side of primaries red-fulvous, sometimes cinnamon-red, next base and 
over inner margin up to median, buff along costa, in upper and posterior part of 
cell and in the discoidal interspaces; the hind margin from apex to median ferru¬ 
ginous, and a large ferruginous sub-apical patch, on which are two, rarely three, 
spots, sometimes well silvered, sometimes buff with merely a few scales of silver ; 
the sub-marginal spots to the number of five or six from apex, either well 
silvered or slightly, like the sub-apical. 
Secondaries deep ferruginous, somewhat mottled with buff, or greenish-buff; 
the space between the two outer rows of silver spots, usually buff, sometimes 
yellow, and not encroached on by the dark ground color, as in Cybele; but in 
other cases this space is nearly covered by ferruginous, as in Aphrodite; the 
seven sub-marginal silver spots narrow, sub-triangular, edged above with ferru¬ 
ginous; the seven of second row each narrowly edged with black anteriorly, 
the first three nearly equal, the fourth minute, the fifth largest, sub-rotund, 
the sixth sub-rectangular, the seventh lunate; in the third row are five spots, 
similarly edged with black, the first, third, and fourth equal, lunate, the second 
minute, often obsolete, the fourth a dash on the margin ; a small round spot in 
cell and three spots at origin of nervures; making twenty-two silver spots in 
all; shoulder well silvered, abdominal margin lightly. Body fulvous above,
