IV.— DOLESCHALLIA GUEELCA. s . Fig. 1. ? . Figs. 2, 3. 



Exp. 3 inches. 



Male. Upperside deep tawny. Anterior wings with the costa narrowly 

 black, and a short broad black bar across the upper part of the end of the cell ; 

 the apical third and hind margin black, broadly to the middle of the wing, then 

 more narrowly to the hinder angle ; the tawny colouring is lighter beyond the 

 black bar, and extends slightly into the border opposite it. Above the upper 

 submedian nervule is a small orange spot in the middle of the border, and 

 between this and the costa is a row of four small white dots, curving outwards. 

 Posterior wings tawny, with a comparatively narrow black border towards the 

 costa, which afterw\ards divides into three lines, the outermost marginal, which 

 meet again at the anal angle, which is black. Within these are two small black 

 spots. 



Underside rich brown, with a common black line at about two-thirds of 

 the length of the wings. Anterior wings with two irregular white dashes, the 

 second longest, near the base of the cell, bordered, chiefly on the opposing 

 sides, with reddish ; and two reddish stripes across the cell beyond ; below the 

 cell is a smaller whitish spot. The black streak is zigzag, and bordered outside 

 with purplish white, above the upper median nervule ; below it is straight 

 nearly to the submedian nervure, where it again curves outwards. There is 

 also a curved row of submarginal white dots, the two uppermost largest, and 

 slightly bordered with black ; the two lowest enclosed in slight, pale rings ; 

 hinder angle pale. An indistinct brown submarginal line. Posterior wings with 

 two bluish-white spots near the base, edged outside with black ; there are also 

 some indistinct reddish-brown lines. The black transverse line is nearly straight, 

 and just beyond it is a reddish-brown shade. Between this and the hind 

 margin are three bluish spots marked with black, and enclosed in black rings ; 

 the uppermost eye smallest and least distinct. A faint black submarginal line, 

 within which, and along the inner margin, is a good deal of pm-plish-white 

 dusting.
