from the base; this line outwardly bordered with yellow chiefly towards the angle ; 
the outer margin otherwise dark reddish brown. Expanse, £ 118 mm.

It affords me great pleasure to name this fine species after my good 
friend, J. T. Mason, Esq., of Denver, Colorado, whose discovery of E. 
imperialism var. nobilis was not recognized by Mr. Neumoegen when 
describing it. I may here mention that I captured in April at Orizaba 
a fine $ of Eacles OrmondeiSohs., which was originally described from a 
9 specimen. The two sexes scarcely differ.
