 siibbasnl and discal sjwts surrouiidiug the cell closely resembling those species, 

 ontsido which is a broad very irregular bright orange band extending over the disc 

 from tlie subcostal ner\Tire to the inner margin, and followed by a submarginal row 

 of round black spots, crowned by metallic scales, and situate in a marginal space

25. Aphnaeus subaureus sp- nov. 



Female. — Upperside : resembles A. acamas King, but is much paler tawny, 

 with broader dusky bands. On the anterior wings the baud crossing the end of the 

 cell obliipiely from the costal margin becomes confluent with the submarginal band 

 between the two lowest median nervnles, and extends in a broad dusky area to 

 the outer angle and outer third of the inner margin. On the posterior wings the 

 dusky bands are very broad, the intervening spaces being paler dusky; a rather broad 

 pale tawny submarginal band and dusky irregular outer margin. 



Uwlersicle : very pale fulvous, with pale golden scales and lines in the bands 

 and spots, all of which are centred with the ground-colour. On the anterior wings 

 the oblique band which crosses the end of the cell extends uninterruptedly nearly to 

 the inner margin, and on the posterior wings the band from the costal margin near 

 the apex to the middle of the disc is situate farther ajiart from the central 

 transverse baud of spots, and the two upper subbasal spots are (^uite sejjarate. 



Expanse of wings: 1 1 inches.
