faint trace of wliite near discal spot in mesial space, and crossed by five 

 black bands of varying width. A very faint basal black dash close to 

 body, then first line of mesial band starts as spot on costa, and runs to 

 median vein, where it bends towards outer margin, then inward to vein 2, 

 and outward to inner margin. Second band broad and very irregular in its 

 course, as is the case of most of the y bands, pirticularly below costa, 

 where it is bent outward at median vein, then inward straight to 

 inner margin ; space between all the bands (^live brown. Third band 

 very narrow and irreguLir, bent outward opposite discal spot, then running 

 in scallops to inner margin. Mesial space narrow, olive brown, with 

 shading of while around discal spot, which is black and linear where 

 speciosata is green. Fourth band broken opposite discal spot, then a spot 

 beneath which is a hair line running irregularly to inner margin, where it 

 ends in black spi)t. F'ifih band broad at costa and widening opposite 

 discal spot to a patch shaded on inner side by a while line ; at vein 4 ihe 

 black patch narrows to a line, and makes a scollop which is very striking ; 

 lelow it broadens and runs to inner margin, where its widih is ihe same as 

 at cosia. A m.nrginal row of black dots, forming a triangular black patch 

 near apex, and connecting with fifth band by black streak ; space between 

 5th band and border olive brown, in speciosata pea green. Hind wings 

 brown, wiili two smoky curved bands near outer margin; edge of 

 wing darkened near fringe, with intervenular black dots. Beneath, 

 fore wings dark smoky-brown, with lines above faintly showing, between 

 each is ochre yellow on costa. Hind wings gray-brown, with bands above 

 showing through, fringe brown. 



This pretiy variety I lake pleasure in naming after Rev. Ci. W. 

 Taylor, from whom I first received it for identification. It is a colour 

 variety of speciosata, difl'ering in the olive brown, where speciosata is 

 pea green, and in the white markings. I bhall explain its position in my 

 revision to follow.
