292 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETEST 257 



with similar metallic scales, sometimes exceeding dark spot and 

 reaching along dorsal margin to tornus. Cilia ochreous yellow. 



Hindwing with basal 2/3 black, apical 1/3 ochreous yellow; edge of 

 black part inbent below costa, thence very gently convex. CUia 

 concolorous with respective parts. 



Male genitalia: Vinculum very strong, forming a vertical ring, upon 

 which are implanted dorsal halves of the valvae, having a broad base 

 and triangularly narrowed top, ending in a hairy cucullus projection; 

 sacculus half of valva forming a separate broad oval lobe, as long as 

 cucullus. Saccus robust, a long, dark appendix. Uncus represented 

 by a horizontal plate, projecting craniad as a rather long obtuse lobe, 

 caudad excavated, with a cusp on each side. Aedeagus moderately 

 curved and gradually narrowed, with a short tooth above orifice. 



Material examined: Mindanao, Mt. Apo, Todaya Plateau, 4000 

 ft., 8.X.1930 (C.F. Clagg), 1 &, holotyi^e, genit. slide 5723, 1 &, 

 paratype, worn, "Philippines, Ber. Gesh." (CMP), 2 cf . 



A distinct species by brighter yellow instead of red-orange color 

 as in C klugii Zeller, and also by the male genitalia. In the last 

 mentioned species the sacculus lobe is shorter than cucullus and is 

 more truncate. (Specimen of C. klugii compared, Java, genit. slide 

 5724, LM.)

Male, 12-14 mm. Head pale ochreous yellow, antenna dark

 marbling. An elongate spot along base of costa followed by a dot; 

 more than central third of costa occupied by a series of more or less 

 interconnected dots and spots; three separate and more distant dots 

 on costa before apex; a slightly undulate and outwards-convex, 

 spindle-shaped transverse mark, with inner edge almost straight 

 and slightly outwards-oblique; this mark resting on dorsum before 

 middle, reaching to below costa, and almost connected by some mar- 

 bhng with costal marks; about two transverse interrupted series 

 of very slender marks between this and base; posterior third of wing 

 dotted, marbled and strigulated, a somewhat larger rounded dot on 

 lower angle of ceU. Cilia pale ochreous yellow.
