NYMPHALINAE: CINCLIDIA IIARRISII. 675 



lug its share of the central canal, separated from each other by their own diameter at 

 first, but by twice that next the tip of the toni^ne, cylindrical, four times as long as 

 broad, the tip broadly rounded, sometimes higher on one side, the apical pit slight, par- 

 tially lateral, and filled by the terminal filament, which is of similar shape, scarcely as 

 long as width of papilla, bluntly pointed. 



Thorax covered above with fulvous hairs having an olivaceous tinge, especially on 

 the back; beneath dull whitish; fore legs white, pale orange in front; the other legs 

 orange, the under surface of the femora, together with the under half of the outer 

 surface, and sometimes the base of the inner, white; spines and spurs orange; claws 

 reddish brown ; pulvillus fuscous. 



Wings dull orange, marked heavily with l)lack, having sometimes a faint purplish 

 lustre, all the veins black. The basal three-fifths of the costal border of the fore 

 uniigs as far as the subcostal nervure black, the basal two-thirds of it powdered with 

 orange scales ; at its tip, this black border bends downward as an oblique, broad, nearly 

 equal band, reaching the upper median nervure, its interior edge a little beyond the 

 extremity of the cell, its exterior irregular or zigzag, reaching the median nervure 

 just at the termination of its basal curve; this band frequently encloses, of tener in 

 the male than in the female, an irregular, ill-defined, orange spot, seated on the median 

 nervure; the base of the wing, half way to the divarication of the median nervure, is 

 black, powdered with orange scales ; in the middle of the cell, or just beyond it, is a 

 transverse hour-glass shaped black spot, crossing the cell and enclosing two, usually 

 connected, orange spots; the extremity of the cell is marked narrowly with black 

 and forms part of a transverse oval circlet, the other half of w'hich crosses the ner- 

 vures beyond the cell; just previous to the first divarication of the median nervure, 

 and just beneath the middle of the hour-glass shaped spot, is a short, black, transverse 

 dash, crossing half of the medio-submedian interspace and then, turning inward 

 with a sliarp angle, is lost in the obscurity of the base ; the extreme base of the lower 

 median interspace is occupied, as far as the second divarication, with a black spot, 

 which forms the summit of a large black patch, broadening below in crossing the 

 whole of the medio-submedian interspace; as far as the submedian nervure, the 

 whole inner border is edged with black ; these black markings of the base of the wing 

 are often partially blended, and usually, in the female, to such a degree as to leave 

 only a subpyriform, transverse spot at the extremity of the cell, and a small spot just 

 beneath the first divarication of the median nervure, distinctly orange, the rest of the 

 base being black with a f ew^ small blurred orange marks ; outer border broadly mar- 

 gined Avith black, limited interiorly by a line, sometimes obsolete, which starts from 

 the costal border at a distance from the basal black markings equal to the width of a 

 median interspace, and following the general direction of the outer limit of those 

 markings in a deeply sinuous curve, leaving between it and the basal markings a broad, 

 nearly equal, fulvous belt ; next its interior edge the outer bordering contains the pen- 

 ultimate subcostal nervule, a series of large orange spots, often tipped outwardly 

 with whitish, and frequently, especially in the male, confluent with the orange band, 

 the only remnants of the outer bordering in this part of the wing being then the 

 heavily edged black nervules ; this series of spots is continued above, subparallel to 

 the outer border, by three pale yellow dots or minute spots ; midway between this 

 series and the outer border, is sometimes seen, particularly in the female, a series of 

 minute black dots, bordered within and sometimes without with faint, pale or yel- 

 lowish touches; fringe white, abruptly interrupted at the nervure tips with equal quan- 

 tities of black. Hind icinr/s having the internal border, as far as the submedian 

 nervure, tinged with yellow and more or less begrimed with blackish scales; the 

 whole costal border, as far as the subcostal nervure, and the base of the wing as far 

 as the divarication of the median nervure black; beyond this, as far as the extreme 

 base of the upper median nervule, the wing is traversed by many slender, transverse, 

 black stripes, more or less confused, and, in the female, usually entirely black, 

 excepting a very small orange spot on either side of the veins terminating the cell ; 

 but in the clearest specimens there can be distinguished a figure-of-eight spot crossing
