nal angle, to sub-costal space where it becomes obsolete, not attaininir 

 the costa ; this line is slightly margined inwardly along its length by a 

 paler shade and is somewhat, but very slightly, arcuate. Terminal 

 space similarly colored to median, widening to internal margin, and in- 

 feriorly and apically more or less suffused with a darker shade. Ex- 

 ternal margin not very oblique, nor sub-apically falcate, resembling in 

 this respect the preceding species. 



Posterior wings blackish-brown, centrally dull-reddish along all the 

 margins, paler shaded at anal angle ; fringes white. 



Under surface of wings paler than upper surface, with extremely 

 scattered and sparse irrorations. The anterior wings at base show a 

 small dull brownish patch and a bent subterminal line apparent at and 

 shortly below costa, thence discontinued. 



Head, and thoracic appendages above, rich reddish-brown. A very 

 distinct, white, lateral line runs from extreme base of thorax to tips of 

 palpi above the eyes. 



Abdomen paler than thorax, a little darker above, the segments 

 slightly margined by paler shades. Palpi, under surface of abdomen 

 and thoracic region coucolorous with the under surface of the wings, 

 while slightly more x-eddish. Legs finely scaled ; outwardly clothed 

 with whitish scales, inwardly concolorous with under thoracic region. 

 The sexes do not differ except very slightly in the general shading ; 

 the female seems to be the darkest, but I have not discovered other 

 differences. Exp. % 2.20 inches, $ 2.50 inches. Length of body % 

 1.30 inch, 9 1.30 inch.

This species in general coloration resembles distantly Darapsa choe- 

 n'lus, but the color is neither so bright nor intense. In the design of 

 ornamention it resembles C. GiimUachii, to which it is nearest allied, 

 while its superior size and very distinct and differing general coloration 

 will at once distinguish it. It is perhaps the species described under 

 the number "6" by Dr. Herrich-Sch^effer, Corr. Blatt. p. 58, 18G5. but 

 which is not named by that author.

Dusky olivaceous; anterior wings very falcate at the apices, which 



latter are somewhat depressed, rounded along external margin, narrow. 



An arcuated row of subterminal dusky dots on the veins; a very faint.
