There is also a black shade touching the buff patch at the base of 

 wings. In the middle of the wing is another fawn-colored shade, 

 reaching from near the centre to posterior margin. A black deeply- 

 indented line runs sub-marginally from interior margin nearly to apex, 

 where it branches into two forks, one slightly indistinct, going direct 

 to apex, the other becoming creamy-white, and touching costa about 

 its posterior third. Behind this last, and nearer to apex, is a small 

 oblong black patch, bordered in front with cream-color. There is also 

 an obsolete cream-colored dentated line near the base, running toward 

 the disc, and a very indistinct cream-white discal spot. The discal 

 field is also clouded with velvety-black. Secondaries rich black, with 

 rather narrow yellow semi-transparent band, reaching from the costal 

 margin to the centre of the wing, and cut by the black nervules. 

 Nearer the base is a large, nearly ovate orange spot, below this, and 

 nearer to anal angle, another smaller spot of the same color, while the 

 abdominal and anal margins are wholly orange, the former more 

 broadly so. The exterior margin is more deeply toothed than in other 

 species of the genus, the dentations being distinctly edged with yel- 

 lowish. Beneath, the abdomen is wholly buff, with five black triangu- 

 lar patches, the primaries are brownish with a bright orange patch from 

 centre of wing to near the base of the internal margin, and another 

 orange streak at extreme base. The secondaries are also brownish, 

 showing the orange semi-transparent streak, and three basal dashes of 

 same color. 



Exp. wings 133 mm. Length of body 73 mm. 



Nearly allied to A. Antceus, Cr., and its variety A. Medor, Cr., but 

 differing in its much darker color, and in the presence of five, instead 

 of three orange spots on sides of the abdomen. 



Diludia collaris, Walk. — This name, which has hitherto gone as a 

 synonym of D. Brontes, Dru. must be restored. Specimens taken by 

 Mr. Schaus prove its distinct character. It differs from D. Brontes, 

 by the dark medio-costal triangular space which encloses the white 

 discal spot, and by the fewer distinct undulating black lines, and from 

 D. Jasminearum LeC, by the absence of the black streak, which in 

 the latter species passes obliquely from costa across median space, to 

 the middle of the posterior margin. There is also in D. collaris a 

 more distinct waved black apical streak than in either of the other two 

 species. The lower wings very much resemble those of D. Jasminea- 

 rum, but in the two examples I have seen the "hoary bands" spoken 

 of by Mr. Walker are nearly obsolete. This I do not regard as a 

 character of great importance as in many specimens of D. Jasminearum 

 they are strongly marked, in others entirely absent. The present 

 species is very well figured as Macrosila collaris in "Figures ol N. 

 American Lepidoptera," by J. W. Weidemeyer, L. Calverley, and W. 

 H. Edwards, Plate 18, Fig. i. Exp. wings 105 mm.
