in erspaces; and clear brown with a faint purple tint along the hind margin • 
the discal spots repeated, luteous; the cellular bars repeated; next beyond the 
cell, a transverse, sinuous black stripe ; the sub-marginal line distinct and pre¬ 
ceded by a complete series of blackish spots, which are lanceolate towards apex 
elsewhere lunular. 1 9 
Secondaries either light or dark brown next base, this area limited on the disk 
by a dark wavy line which begins on the middle of the costa and ends on the 
inner margin, at one-third the distance from base, after curving far down towards 
t e angle, on the sub-median nervure; beyond this line there is a narrow space 
across the entire wing of gray-white with a pink tint, followed by a brown cloud 
on which are the ocelli; the margin as on primaries, purplish-brown; besides 
the sub-marginal line is a second composed of nearly confluent narrow lunules. 
n. the cell a transverse fuscous spot, and another at the extremity • the ocelli 
seven in number, and the one next inner angle duplex; each ocellus black, 
pupilled with an abbreviated stripe of bright blue, and surrounded by a fine 
ferruginous ring Individuals vary much in the shades of under side, and when 
these are light the purple tint is less perceptible. 
Body above greenish-brown, beneath pale vinous-brown; legs ochraceous, the 
hont (01 aborted) pair, yellow-white; palpi yellow-white, fuscous above and at 
tip; an ten lire fuscous above, light brown beneath, imperfectly annulated with 
gray; club black, the tip greenish-yellow. 
Female. — Expands from 2.5 to 3 inches. 
Upper side bright ferruginous nearly to the hind margin ; in some cases the 
fuscous portion is confined to the middle of the interspaces near the apex, in 
others the interspaces on the disk are also fuscous; the spots more diffused and 
moie yellowish than in the male; secondaries essentially as in the male On 
the under side the colors are lighter than in the male, and often the marking 
oil outer half of the wing are much obscured.

Tins form differs from Ocellata in that secondaries are black throughout, the 
ocellar spots either wanting or scarcely perceptible; in some cases the sub-mar- 
ginal ferruginous spots are faintly indicated ; on the under side the difference is 
less marked, the ocelli reappearing. The female differs from Ocellata in same 
way, but on the under side there is a greater obscurity of color, the whole of sec¬ 
ondaries and the apical area of primaries being of an uniform shade of brown 
or fuscous, or fuscous with a purple tint; none of the markings distinct, and the
