ASPIDISCA. 



For the purpose of comparing it with the other species, I quote here 

 Dr. Clemens' description of 



A. splendoriferdla. 



" Head golden ; antennae fuscous, tinged with golden. Fore wings 

 -from the base to the middle leaden grey, with a splendant lustre, and 

 from the middle to the tip golden, with a broad, nearly straight, metallic, 

 •silvery streak, extending from the costa, near the tip, to the middle of the 

 wing, and dark margined on both sides. This is nearly joined by a dorsal 

 streak of the same hue, almost opposite to it, with converging dark 

 margins, and with a blotch of dark brown scales adjoining it behind. In 

 the costo-apical cilia is a short, blackish brown streak, parallel to the 

 dark margin of the silvery costal streak. At the tip is a black, apical 

 spot, with metallic, silvery scales in its centre, and a few silvery scales in 

 the ciliae above and beneath it. A blackish brown hinder marginal line 

 in the ciliae, interrupted by a silvery streak in the ciliae beneath the 

 apical spot, and the ciliae yellowish brown. Hind wings leaden gray, and 

 the ciliae yellowish brown."' 



There is a straight black streak in the ciliae, from the apical spot to 

 the apex, not mentioned by Dr. Clemens.
