NYMPHALINAE: THE GENUS CINCLLUIA. 669 



of them arranged in a moderately strong curve, its convexitj' forward, the tliird and 

 fourtli, counting from above, almost attingent, tlie tliird and second, tlie fourth and 

 fifth, and the first and second removed from each otlier Ijy increasing distances, the 

 latter by a space equal to the diameter of one of them ; the sixth, beliind the others, 

 forming a right angle with the first and a point Ijetween the third and fourth, and 

 a little nearer tlie former. Labrum moderately large and long, Avell rounded, either 

 lateral half a little tumid, the front border slightly and roundly excised in the middle. 

 Mandibles small, slender, not broad, the edge armed Avith five or six rather short, tri- 

 angular, slender denticles. Maxillary palpi with tlie basal joint l)earing an inner two- 

 jointed palp and an outer, longer, three-jointed one, the penultimate joint of each being 

 sliglitly longer than broad, rounded at the tip, the last joint minute. Spinneret short 

 and slender, tapering sliglitly. 



Body cylindrical or very slightly depressed, tapering forward a little on the ante- 

 rior thoracic segments, the rest of the body nearly equal, armed with numerous spines 

 arranged one to a segment in a series, in longitudinal rows; they are not very long, 

 conical, tapering to a blunt point, thickly studded with minute tubercles, scarcely 

 longer than broad, one at the tip slightly longer than the others, each bearing a long, 

 tapering, needle-like thorn, the lower ones longest and nearly or quite as long as the 

 spine itself, the low^er ones spreading nearly horizontally, the upper inclined upward 

 at an angle of about -15° with the spine. They are arranged as follows : a dorsal row 

 placed anteriorly, upon the first to eighth abdominal segments, the latter with two, 

 one placed posteriorly; a laterodorsal series, placed a little in advance of the middle 

 of the segment, upon the second and third thoracic and the first to eighth abdominal 

 segments; a laterostigmatal series, placed anteriorly on the second and third thoracic 

 and first to ninth abdominal segments, the latter with two, one being placed poste- 

 riorly ; an infrastigmatal series placed centrally, on the first and second thoracic and 

 first to eighth abdominal segments; and a ventro-stigmatal series, placed centrally, on 

 the thoracic and the first to seventh abdominal segments, the second to sixth abdomi- 

 nal segments having two each ; the first segment bears anteriorly a ti-ansverse row of 

 spines, which correspond to those upon the second, excepting that the laterodorsal 

 ones have become subdorsal and are very small, the laterostigmatal ones very small 

 and transversely double, a supplementary one being crowded between the normal and 

 the laterodorsal spine. Body with a few scattered, very short and exceedingly deli- 

 cate hairs. Spiracles rather small, short obovate, about half as long again as broad. 

 Legs short, small, rather slender, appressed, tapering and the claws small, pretty 

 strongly heeled at the base, beyond very slender, nearly equal, very gently curved; 

 prolegs rather short, not very stout, tapering, the booklets twenty-five to thirty in 

 number, very slender and delicate, pretty strongly curved, not crowded, arranged in a 

 double row around a little more than half of the inner portion of a circle. 



Chrysalis. Viewed from abo\e, the prothorax and the parts in front taper a little, 

 but not regularly, being broken at the base of the ocellar prominences by a distinct 

 lateral swelling; the ocellar prominences are not greatly pronounced, the outer sides 

 being parallel, the enlarged anterior portion small and regularly swollen, the laterally 

 angulated tip sometimes minutely notched, the broad front of the head separating 

 their bases straight or very slightly convex. Viewed from the side, the lowest ante- 

 rior faces of the ocellar prominences are bent rather sharply at very slightly more than 

 a right angle, the head more rounded and its front advanced slightly in front of the 

 inferior face of the prominences; inferior face of the prominences nearly in continua- 

 tion with the inferior face of the body ; anterior face at an angle of 150° with the 

 anterior part of the thorax. Longitudinally the lower surface of the body, as far as 

 near the wing tips Is nearly straight, very slightly and broadly sinuous. Thorax with 

 a pretty high, longitudinal curve, not quite regular, being scarcely bent at the middle 

 of the anterior half of the mesothorax, and a little in advance of the posterior half 

 of the same, raised to a slight, low and very broad conical prominence, with an equal 

 slope on all sides. Wing tubercles much as in Charidryas, the supernumerary one per- 

 haps a little more elevated, and the superior ridge of the basal one not cjuite so long.
