with black and white ; secondaries marbled with blackish, blackish- 

 brown, jiTayish-ochraceous and grayish-white, a broad dark middle 

 band crossing the wing; fringe alternate brownish-white and blackish- 

 brown, the latter at the nervure tips, wholly blackish-brown along the 

 inner edge of secondaries. 



Above. Primaries uniform dull brownish-fuscous, more or less slightly 

 tinged with ochraceous ; the whole costal edge, very narrowly at tip, 

 marked with blackish-brown and grayish-white, generally quite dis- 

 tinctly; in cell 5 occasionally a minute gray-pupilled eye sometimes 

 barely discernible; about one out of five of those under examination 

 have it, though this number includes all which have the merest dot; the 

 markings of the under side show through slightly at the apex. Secon- 

 daries: the markings of the under surface invariably appear upon the 

 upper with considerable distinctness, ;is much, and generally more 

 so than in C. Oeno ; the basal half of about the same uniform tint as 

 the primaries, or a shade darker, in the outer half more or less dis- 

 tinctly mottled with grayish-fuscous and brownish-fuscous, sometimes 

 darker next the margin. Beneath. Primaries slightly paler than the 

 upper surface ; the costal border is marked with blackish and whitish, 

 usually increasingly so away from the base, broadening into a spot at 

 the apex, which, however, does not usually encroach on the fifth cell, 

 except to form a similar border to the outer margin as far as the second 

 median nervule ; the eye when present is repeated below, just as mi- 

 nutely but generally distinctly white-pupilled ; the only other marking 

 which is generally seen upon all specimens is a dusky broad band bor- 

 dering the outer limits of the cell, which is most distinct at its outer 

 borders, one along the cross-nervule closing the cell, the other beyond 

 not quite parallel to it, but rather more nearly at right angles to the 

 costal border; this band extends to the third median nervule, or if it 

 exists beyond it, it is either continued on as a fuscous blotch to the 

 second median nervule or the darker streak of the outer margin only 

 is bent towards the base subparallel to the outer margin of the wing 

 and continues as far as the first median nervule. Besides these, how- 

 ever, there is usually a freckling of the wing with brown, either uni- 

 ibrmly distributed or mo.st frequently more distinctly on the outer half 

 and especially the upper portion of it, or sometimes confined to the 

 outer half only, sometimes clustering into short transverse streaks, 

 especially between the extremity of the cell and the outer margin. 

 Secondaries : basal portion marbled with blackish or blackish-brown 

 and grayish-white, very seldom uniformly distributed, the latter conspi-
