SATYRUS I. 
SATYRUS WHEELERI, 1—4. 
Satyrus Wheeleri, Edwards, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., IV., p. 343. Mead, Zool. Report Wheeler Expedition, 
V., p. 773, pi. 39. 
Male. — Expands 2.1 to 2.3 inches. 
Upper side light brown, clouded with dark brown, especially on the disks of 
each wing; the hind margins edged by two parallel lines, preceded by a com¬ 
mon dark stripe, which on secondaries is somewhat macular ; primaries have a 
light colored extra-discal area, on which are two large black ocelli, the upper one 
sub-pyriform, and as if two spots of unequal size had been compressed into one, 
and incloses two white pupils ; the lower ocellus is larger, rounded, with white 
pupils; both ocelli inclosed in narrow yellow rings. Secondaries have one 
ocellus, of medium size, in the lower median interspace. 
Under side light yellow-brown, covered with rather coarse, abbreviated, brown 
streaks, which are most dense from base to middle of disk on primaries, but 
pretty equally distributed over the whole of secondaries; both wings crossed by 
an irregular brown stripe, which stops at the sub-median nervure of secondaries 
and connects on that nervure with a similar stripe, nearly straight, which crosses 
the wing about half way between the first stripe and base , m some examples 
this basal stripe is continued faintly across primaries; the marginal lines and sub- 
margmal stripe repeated; the ocelli of primaries also repeated, but with much 
broader rings ; secondaries have six ocelli, each with white pupil and in yellow 
ring; three of these are in the sub-costal and discoidal interspaces, the two outer 
ones small and rounded, the middle one long oval, or double-convex, and three 
on the posterior interspaces, all of them rounded, and the middle one largest. 
Body yellow-brown ; legs same ; palpi darker brown ; antennae brown with 
fine whitish annulations; club ferruginous. 
Female. —Expands from 2.1 to 2.7 inches. 
Upper side sometimes similar in color to the male, often lighter ; the dark 
basal area, in the light examples, more sharply defined on middle of the disk;
