and jiasses directly, without curvino-, to the costii endiiii;- near the apex; both lines dark brown; 

 veins of the same brown hue beyond the middle of the wini>'; outer edge of the wing and frince 

 pinkish, and also the iimer edge as far as the extradiseal line. 



Hind wings not reaching to the tip, only as far as the outer fourth, with a distinct but small 

 oval white dot at the outer and hinder angle of the discal area, and with a dark discoloration in 

 front. The wings arc deep reddish-pink, almost brick-red at base and along the inner edge, but 

 the costal and marginal regions and inner angle are deep orange-ocherous. An extradiseal 

 brown line, not so distinct and dark as on the fore wings. In shape the hind wings are near 

 those of A. ftuhangulatd, but with a more decided inner angle, and the outer edge is .slightly 

 scalloped toward this angle; apex well rounded. Beneath, the fore wings are deeper orange-red 

 than above in the middle of the wing, but becoming ocherous toward the apex; beyond the 

 exti-adiscal line of the samehoar}- pale-pinkish hue as the hind wings; a large blackish irregularly 

 oblong di.scal spot; hind wings with no discal spot and with dark strigffi. Legs rose pink; tibiaj 

 ocherous externally; the tibial sack (pi. XXXVI, tig. 13) is rather large and broad, two-thirds as 

 long as the tibia itself, and concealed under it when the leg is folded to the breast; tibiw with no 

 spines.

InKKjo. — 4 $ . In the shape of the wings and markings allied to A. hisecta, though with tiie 

 discal spot as in hiajJor. Antenna? as in Ijisecfa; 20 pairs of pectinations, and the filiform tip 

 with about 22 joints. Fore wings with the costa straight, apex subacute, rectangular, outer edge 

 as in hi>ii'ct<(. not so full and convex as in hicolor. Hind wings as in hisectn. ' 



Foi'e wings deep brownish ocherous as in Jjisccfa, outer edge with brown flecks; inner edge 

 of the wing bathed with pink. The two lines brown, distinct, the ))asal one nearly straight, bent 

 out a little on the median (cubitus) vein. Extradiseal line tirm. distinct not wavy, and as in 

 liis,<-f'i, ending on the costa just i)efore the apex. 



Hind wings nearly all deep rose pink, paler on the costal and outer edge, no transver.se lines; 

 two snow-white, discal, irregular, triangidar sjiots varying in shape and size, the two sometimes 

 being confluent, tlie anterior one being always the smaller of the two. 



Heneuth. the fore wings with a large, black, di.scal spot centered with an obscure whitish 

 iunulc. Behind it the wing is dull pink; beyond it. toward the apex, the wing is ocherous brown 

 as above; (nlge of the wing be\'ond the extradiseal line bathed with pale pink. Hind wings dull 

 pale i)ink, with faint traces of an extradi.scal line. Legs dull pink.

 mc two specimens from ""among the mountains" near (luadalahara. It is of the size of ^I. /logei; 

 the white discal spot the same as in .1. Iinijc'i; the middle of the wing is clear yellow, base and 

 outer edge lilac gray. Hind wing with the outer edge yellow; there are no spots on the 

 wings. The under side of liie wing is as in J. hogvi. I)ut without any spots or stripes. In one 

 Z the two discal white spots are bleruled into a single irregular one.
