ON CERTAIN SPECIES OF SATYRUS

Extract

Ariane.—I have not seen Dr. Boisduval's type of Ariane (many of his types of American butterflies he sent me), but the species is easily recognized by his description. He says it is size of Phædra (or like Nephele), in color brown-black ; the fore wings with two black ocelli pupilled with white and with pale irides ; 6 small ocelli on hind wing below, pupilled with white and circled by fulvous ; the same wing crossed by two sinuous black lines ; the females with large ocelli having yellow-fulvous irides ; the small ocelli much less distinct than in the male.
