and passes directly, without curving, to the costa ending near the apex; both lines dark brown; 

 veins of the same brown hue bej'ondthe middle of the wing; outer edge of the wing and fringe 

 pinkish, and also the inner edge as far as the extradiscal line. 



Hind wings not reaching to the tip, only as far as the outer fourth, with a distinct but small 

 oval white dot at the outer and hinder angle of the discal ai"ea, and with a dark discoloration in 

 front. The wings are deep reddish-pink, almost brick-red at base and along the inner edge, but 

 the costal and marginal regions and inner angle are deep orange-ocherous. An extradiscal 

 bx'own line, not so distinct and dark as on the fore wings. In shape the hind wings are near 

 those of A. K((hau(ji(laf<i, but with a more decided inner angle, and the outei' edge is slightly 

 scalloped toward this angle; apex well rounded. Beneath, the fore wings are deeper orange-red 

 than above in the middle of the wing, but becoming ocherous toward the apex; bej'ond the 

 extradiscal line of the same hoary pale-pinkish hue as the bind wings; a large blackish irregularly 

 oblong discal spot; hintl wings with no discal spot and with dark striga-. Legs rose pink; tibiaj 

 ocherous externally; the tibial sack (pi. XXXVI, fig. 13) is rather large and broad, two-third.s as 

 long as the tibia itself, and concealed under it when the leg is folded to the breast; tibi* with no 

 spines.

LiuKjo. — -i S . In the shape of the wings and markings allied to A. b/xecfa, though with the 

 discal spot as in hicolor. Ant«nnf« as in I//'secfa; '20 pairs of pectinations, and the filiform tip 

 with al>out 22 joints. Fore wings with the costa straight, apex subacute, rectangular, outer edge 

 as in liisccta, not so full and convex as in hicolor. Hind wings as in hlsrcta. 



Fore wings deep brownish ocherous as in hmxia, outer edge with brown fiecks; inner edge 

 of the wing bathed with pink. The two lines l)rown. distinct, the liasal one nearly straight, l)ent 

 out a little on the median (cubitus) vein. Extradiscal line firm, distinct not wav}-, and as in 

 hlsecta, ending on the costa just before the apex. 



Hind wings nearly all deep rose pink, paler on the costal and outer edge, no transverse lines; 

 two snow-white, discal, irregular, triangular sj)ots varying in shape and size, the two sometimes 

 being confluent, the anterior one being alwaj'S the smaller of the two. 



Beneath, the fore wings with a large, black, discal spot centered with an obscure whitisli 

 lunule. Behind it the wing is dull pink; beyond it, toward the apex, the wing is ocherous brown 

 as above; edge of the wing bej'ond the extradiscal line bathed Mnth pale pink. Hind wings dull 

 pale pink, with faint traces of an extradiscal line. Legs dull pink.

 me two specimens from "among the moiuitains" near (Tuadalahara. It is of the size of ^1. JiiKjet; 

 the white discal spot the sam(> as in ^1. hocjel ; tlie middle of the wing is clear yellow, base and 

 outer edge lilac gra}. Hind wing with the outer edge yellow; there are no spots on the 

 wings. The under side of the wing is as in .1. Ii(i</cl. but without any spots or stripes. In one
