APATURA II. 
This description of Herse is also supposed to have been drawn from Jones’ 
figures, though, as is the case of Lycaon, the insect is referred to as in Drury’s 
collection, and undoubtedly was known to Fabricius, the chief lepidopterist 
of his day. I do not know on what authority such supposition is based, and 
there are certain discrepancies, to be hereafter spoken of, between Jones’ figures 
and the description, which would seem to preclude the idea of the latter having 
been drawn up from the figures. By the kindness of Prof. J. 0. Westwood, 
I have in my possession a colored copy made by him of both Jones’ figures 
of Herse, representing the two sides of the female. Also a pencil tracing of 
the upper side, and this I reproduce in order to show more clearly the differ¬ 
ences between the two species. But if it were practicable to give the colored 
figures, there would be no doubt in the minds of my readers that they relate to 
quite another insect from Clyton. In the figure of the upper side, the color of 
the basal half of primaries and of the whole of secondaries is of an uniform 
shade of ferruginous, and the hind margin of primaries is also broadly bordered 
by ferruginous, a shade darker. Between these two areas on primaries is a 
nebulous, extra-discal fuscous band extending quite across the wing ; in Clyton 
vars. Ocellata and Proserpina, while the base of primaries is ferruginous, the 
hind margin and disk, as well as the whole of secondaries, is blackish-brown or 
fuscous. In the figure is a median band of six long, oval, equal spots, there being 
but one in the sub-median interspace, arranged in a simple curve, convex out¬ 
wardly; and five of these spots only are fulvous, the sixth on the costal margin, 
being pure white. Beyond are four white sjjots, two of them sub-apical, and two 
are in the median interspaces, these last very close to the band and parallel with 
it. In the discoidal interspace is no spot. In the insect this is totally different. 
The band is composed of seven spots, all of them rounded, arranged in a double 
curve like the letter S, and these spots are all yellow, or yellow with a tint of red, 
as are the older sqjots (vars. Ocellata and Proserpina ), or all are ferruginous 
(var. Flora.) Of the outer spots there are five, two being sub-apical, the other 
three, occupying the discoidal and two median interspaces, placed at some distance 
from the band and nearly yiarallel with the hind margin. That is, their general 
course is exactly opposite that of the band in Herse. In the cell on the drawing 
is a concolored spot with a black outline, and this is shaped like a figure 8, made 
of two opposite double curves. In the insect, instead of this spot are two nearly 
parallel sinuous bars. On the hind wings in the drawing are six spots, five of 
which are distinctly ocellated, having both pupils and irides, the spot next inner- 
angle only being without pupil. In Clyton all the spots are without pupils. On 
the under side, the base of the hind wing, and all that part of primaries which 
lies back of the cell and the second median nervule, is pale ferruginous; the cell
