CCENONYMPHA MATHEWI, N.SP. 309 



to the margin of the wing; the pale marginal lines just within 

 the outer margin is almost obsolete. 



(3) The underside of the forewings of the same deep brown tint as that 

 of ('. corinna ; the fringes clearly divided longitudinally as in C. corinna 

 but the outside half whiter ; the outer margin only slightly darker 

 than the remainder ; the metallic line parallel to the outer margin 

 absent in two, and poorly developed in the third specimen ; the apical 

 spot small and only very weakly ruiged with a tint not really paler 

 than the ground-colour, and possibly nearer to apex than in (.'. dorus : 

 the marked raised nervures of C. donis wanting ; the pale trans- 

 verse line within the ocellated spot very narrow, straight. 



(4) The underside of the hindwings bright orange-brown (not greatly 

 different from that of forewmgs) ; the pale transverse line narrower than 

 in ('. donis, the inner edge made of three curves, and, as in C. corinna, fall- 

 ing short of the row of ocellated spots, except the top spot, which is in two 

 examples included in the narrow band ; the outer margin of almost 

 same orange-brown tint as basal area ; the ocellated spots small, but 

 with strongly-marked centres and very weak rings outside the black ; 

 these spots nearer margin than in C. dont^ (the three lower ones much 

 less markedly perpendicular), the first and fourth spots (counting from 

 base) weakly developed, as in C. corinna .- the metallic line parallel 

 with outer margin, finely marked in one specimen, traceable in a 

 second, and absent in a third (this line varies somewhat similarly in 

 ( '. corinna). 



Female : (1) The upperside of the forewings are more like those of 

 ( '. dor us, but the costa is shaded with fuscous ; the fuscous marginal band 

 extends almost to the apical spot, but does not include it as in C. corinna ; 

 the apical spot is, in only specimen examined, double, the second one 

 being very small and beneath the first. 



(2) The upperside of the hindwings is much more tinted with 

 fuscous, a small area, from the anal angle extending just above the 

 three visible ocellated spots, alone being of the ground-colour, rings of 

 which surround the spots. 



(3) The underside of both fore- and hindwings is similar to that 

 of the (? , except that a tiny second ocellus is below the small (com- 

 pared with that of C. dorus) ordinary apical spot ; the whole of the 

 underside of the forewings is uniformly brown, with ill-developed 

 metallic line parallel to outer margin, and trace of faint transverse 

 shade just inside ocellated spot. The underside of the hindwings is 

 also golden- brown; the white transverse band narrow and its points 

 (turned towards the base) sharp; the band not reaching to the 

 ocellated spots ; the outer area uniform with the base, the orange 

 marginal line and the ill-developed metallic one being very like those 

 of ? C. corinna. 



The egg, larva, and pupa of this species are badly wanted for com- 

 parison with those of (Joenonywpha darns and C. corinna, with the 

 former of which, in particular, it has very close affinity. It would be 

 especially interesting to have the early stages worked out to see how 

 they differ from the former species. 



The specimens were taken on rough ground among olive orchards 

 about three iniles to the south of Vigo.
