NEW SPECIES OF LEPIDOPTERA IN THE UNITED STATESNATIONAL MUSEUM.By William Schaus,Assistant Curator of Insects, United States National Musesm,
The species described from Guatemala were all taken by Mr.John T. Barnes and myself dm"ing our recent visit to that country;those recorded from northwest Mexico have been generously donatedby Mr. B. Preston Clark ; in most other cases the name of the donoror collector is mentioned.Suborder RHOPALOCERA.Family SATYRIDAE.PEDAHODES MARIA, new species.Male.?Wings above fuscous brown with a still darker marginalline, straight on fore wings, lunular on hind wings. Wings belowdark brown, the lines darker. Fore wings: a medial curved linein cell; a postmedial line somewhat oblique from costa, almost straightto vein 3, then wavy to inner margin; a submarginal line finely wavy;an indistinct marginal line; a black terminal line. Hind wings: anantemedial line to median, then slightly inset to inner margin;postmedial hne inwardly shaded with dark red, lunular between veins2 and 3, followed by three ocelli, black, circled with yellowish,and containing a white point, the largest ocellus between veins 2and 3; submarginal line irregular, wavy, outwardly shaded withdark reddish; the marginal and terminal line as on fore wing.Female.?Not quite so dark, the lines and one or two of the ocellipresent on the upper surface; the postmedial line inwardly shadedwith dark red. Wings below also paler, especially the terminalspace beyond postmedial line, which is decidedly grayish. Hindwings with a small ocellus near costa, and yellow points betweenveins 4 and 6 ; the three ocelli toward anal angle as in male.Expanse.?Male, 43 mm.; female, 45 mm.Habitat.?Volcan de Santa Maria, Guatemala, 4,500 feet; flyingabout bamboo in April, July, October, November; not met withanywhere else.Type.?Cat.
