201 J. Castnia Cronis, var. Coruingii, Hy. Edw. 

 (Page 387.) 



Expanse of wings 2.4 inches. 



Ground color of the wing, velvety black. Disk with 

 a clear white space, running parallel with the posterior 

 margin, and reaching nearly to the base, whence it is 

 separated by a narrow black line from another white 

 triangular spot which touches the thorax, at the extreme 

 base of the wing. On the upper edge this mark runs 

 obliquely but almost parallel with the costa, to about 

 the centre of the wing ; there it is cut off straight along 

 the corner of the median vein. The space thus enclosed 

 covers about one-third of the whole wing. On the costa 

 is a large ovate spot, and along the margin, only near 

 the posterior angle, are five subtriangular spots, and two 

 oblong spots at the apex, all clear white. The costa is 

 reddish at the base. The hind wings are yellow-white, 

 with rather narrow black margin slightly dentate on the 

 inner edge. Beneath, the markings are repeated, but 

 the ovate mark on the costa of fore wings is here tri- 

 angular, and there is a second triangular mark nearer 

 the apex. Head black, with two white spots at the base 

 of the antennae, and one in front. Thorax also black, 

 with red lines at the sides, and four transverse white 

 dashes. The red line at the base of costa is also carried 

 on to the thorax. Abdomen creamy white, with the tip 

 orange. Beneath, the abdomen and thorax are clear 

 white, the coxse and tibise black. 



The description of this species was published in ^' In- 

 sect Life" in 1891, but was overlooked in the third re- 

 vision. It is claimed by some entomologists that this
