^ White, ivith UacJcish marldngs. Fore-iving : base narrowly grey- 

 ish ; costa narrowly edged with blackish ; at extremity of discoidal cell 

 a rather broad, short, blackish stripe, extending above subcostal nervure, 

 but not touching costal edge ; a broad, blackish border on hind-margin, 

 abruptly terminating on second median nervule, and containing four 

 rounded white spots, the third of which, from costa, is almost always 

 connected with the white ground-colour of wing, dividing the band 

 into two portions. Hind-unng : on hind-margin a row of small black 

 spots, one at extremity of, and inwardly projecting along, each nervule. 

 Under side. — Fore-wing : as on upper side, but disco-cellular stripe 

 extended to costa by some fainter blackish colouring ; apical portion of 

 hind-marginal hand tinged and dusted with chrome-yclloiv. Hind-wing : 

 nervures much clouded ivith yellow-dusted grey, leaving a central, trans- 

 verse, curved, macular band of white, and almost enclosing a row of 

 five or six white spots on hind-margin ; costa at base, and most of the 

 spaces between clouded nervures, tinged with bright chrome-yelloiv. 



^ From Moschler's note on several S s and a ? (Abhandl. Senckenberg. Naturf. Gesellsch., 

 1887, p. 53), these Gold Coast specimens appear to belong to the form Creona, Cram. 



^ Esper's earlier figure of P. Raphani (op. cit., i. pt. 2, t. Ixxxiv.) appears not to represent 

 Hellica, Linn., but some allied species. Mr. W. Y. Kirby [Cat. D. Lep., 1S71, p. 451) 

 regards it as intended to represent a variety of Daplidice, Linn.
