650 SUPPLEMENT. 



In Dr. Staudinger's collection there is a male of this species, from Colombia, which 

 agrees with the fragment already described by us, so far as it goes. We now take this 

 opportunity of re-describing and of figuring it. A female, too, has been sent us from 

 Costa Rica, a description of which is now appended : — 



Alis fuscis, anticis dimidio basali et posticis fere omnino purpureo suffusis ; anticis ocello magno et apicem nigro 

 albo pupillato et infra fulvo semicincto, macula infra eura quoque fulva ; posticis margine externo anguste 

 fulvescente ad basin caudae nigro irrorato, penicillo nigro ad medium venae medianse : subtus pallide 

 ferrugineis fusco sparsim irroratis, anticis strigis transversis quatuor rufo-fuscis extrorsum pallide fulvo 

 limbatis, duabus basalibus per cellulam ductis, tertia abbreviata, ad finem ejus quarta discali a costa ad 

 angulum analem extendente, macula parva subapicali pallida et penicillo elongato nigro ad marginem 

 internum apud angulum analem a margine introrsum extendente; posticis lineis tribus transnotatis, 

 duabus a costa plus minusve margini interno parallelis, tertia transversa fere recta ab angulo apicali ad 

 angulum analem ducta. 



Anticis acutis hand hamatis, margine externo vix concavo ; posticis caudatis, angulo anali sensim lobato. 



2 mari similis, sed major, anticis ocellis duobus, uno apicali, altero apud angulum analem. 



So far as we can see, this insect is a true Ccerois, agreeing in structure with 

 C. chorinceus in every respect, except that the primaries are more pointed and not 

 nearly so falcate. 



We continue the use of Fabricius's name for this distinct species, but there are 

 several discrepancies in the description that make it very doubtful if we are right in 

 so doing. Fabricius makes no allusion to the purple tint of the wings, nor to the tufts 

 of black hairs on both the upper and under surfaces. His type could not have been a 

 female of the present insect (in which the tufts of hair are of course absent), as in this 

 sex there are two ocelli on the primaries.
