Forein'/'!/ : with the base and central fascia cojjpery brown ; a broad subcostal 

 streak bright coppery red; tlie costal edge dotted with black and ochreons ; 

 basal patch edged by a straight dark line, mixed with a few white scales ; band 

 between base and central fascia bright cojipery red with its centre fnscons ; 

 central fascia edged with white black-edged lunules ; its outer edge indented 

 below costa, angled on vein (i, and forming a beak-like projection on vein 4, then 

 concave to inner margin, followed by a broadish coppery-red line ; submarginal 

 line very obscure, marked only on costa and above anal angle ; cell-spot blackish, 

 indistinct ; marginal line black ; fringe white, cherjuered with black. 



Ilinilicing : dull coppery red, with a broad fuscous median baud, edged 

 externally with whitish ; a dark cell-spot ; marginal area darker ; fringe as in 

 forewing.

 shade edged with white.

1 (?, 1 ?, from Santo Domingo, Carabaya, S.E. Peru, (iUUO ft., November, 

 December 1901, wet season (Ockenden). 



In the S ; which is considerably smaller than the ?, the paler markings are 

 attenuated, the upper half of the outer edge of central fiiscia is more vertical, 

 and the projection at middle less prominent. In another <?, however, which 

 must be referred to the same species, the red markings are inconspicuous, and 

 the white markings even more prominent than iu the typical ? ; in this case the 

 edging of the outer half of central fascia below costa consists of two vertical 

 white streaks, oue obliquely below the other, and the hindwing and underside 

 are almost wholly dark fnscons. For this form I propose the name fuscata. 



A second ? differs so much that it may be another sj>ecies, though for the 

 present I shall sejiarate it only as ab. pallida. In this the red is deeper and 

 the fuscous markings blacker, the white markings clearer and more defined ; the 

 lower half of central fascia also much narrower ; the fringe is white, with black 

 base, but witliont dark mottlings. The hindwing is grey, with darker grey central 

 line and marginal border. I'eneath, the forewing is dull dark grey, witli the 

 white edgings showing, and only a faint tinge of reddish ; the hindwing much 

 speckled with brownish red and white, and all the markings hidden.
