No. 2307. NEW SPECIES OF LEPIDOPTERA—SCHAUS. 127 



I am indebted to Mr. May for this species which is somewhat like 

 C. hamifera fuscalis Rothschild but the wings are longer, narrower, 

 and of a different color ; the postmedial spots are also quite different.

 some dorsal basal spots and broad transverse bands on abdomen 

 above brownish red. Fore wings yellow, thickly overlaid with brown- 

 ish red from base to just beyond end of cell, inclosing two slightly 

 darker spots at discocellular ; some fuscous striae chiefly on post- 

 medial yellow space; a broad purplish line from apex to mner margin 

 at two-thirds from base ; the termen beyond this line strongly shaded 

 with lilacine, only a little yellow showing towards inner margin next 

 to line. Hind wings bright yellow to outer line ; a round discal spot, 

 brownish red containing a few lilacine scales; a large brownish red 

 spot on inner margin from beyond base to middle of wing; a dark

 Janeiro to whom I am indebted for specimens. This species is allied 

 to Eacles masoni Schaus.
