APATURA II. 
and remainder of primaries and the outer limb of secondaries, except a broad 
spare along the hind margin, is pale fuscous, and between this fuscous area and 
the ferruginous of the base, on secondaries, is a whity-brown discal zone. All 
this is quite unlike the insect, as a glance at our Plate will show. 
If Fabricius’ description was taken from Jones’ figures, why should all the 
spots on the forewings be called white, or why should the ocelli he described as 
blind, with the exception of the second and third ! Or why should the descrip¬ 
tion call for seven ocelli when the figure shows but six! 
Aow it happens that one of the groups into which the American species of this 
genus divide themselves is characterized by just such a simple curved discal 
band on primaries as appears in Jones’ figures, made up of six oval spots, and 
outside these are four white spots, two of which are sub-apical, and two placed 
parallel to the band, just as in these figures also. Of this style of ornamentation 
are certain Central American species, and also the one called Idyja, Hiibner fig¬ 
ured in the Sannnl. Exot. Schmett., a West Indian species ; and that the resem¬ 
blance to Herse may appear, I subjoin a cut of it also, copied for me by Mr 
. cudder from Hubner’s figure. It must be allowed to approach Herse remark- 
ably.

With the figures of Herse, Professor Westwood also sent 
“ ' --- '"'w me colored mm res 
of Lycaon, and they represent. quite another insect than Celtis. On the upper 
side, primaries are fuscous except the cell, and the larger part of this from the 
base outward is yellow. There is a yellow submarginal stripe, and the discal 
band is composed of fulvous spots The secondaries are fuscous over the basal 
area, and beyond to the hind margin the color is fulvous, as decided as in 
Argymrn Cybele. Upon the disk are five elongated, equal, white spots, arranged 
m a regular curve, and on the basal side of these is a conspicuous yellow stripe 
which reaches half across the wing. On the under side, the basal third ofprima- 
1 tes and the whole of the hind wing i> yellow, the rest of primaries being fuscous,
