whitc, the cox;c and tibia* black. Expanse 62 millimètres. Length 

 of body, 28 milHm. i cT, i Q. Raised from roots of Lcrlia majalis 

 in the hot-house of Eratus Corning, esq. Albany, N. Y. by 

 Mr. W. Grey. 



Habitat, Oaxaca, Mexico. 



In Cramer, in which C. Cronïs is figured, the locality is given 

 as Surinam, and in Herrich-Schasfîer, Sarnml. ausser. Schm., 

 fig. 142, C. cronïda, which is bclieved by Westwood to be but 

 a form of Cronis, the country is quoted as « Guyane française ». 

 It is therefore, probable that our species is a strongly marked 

 local form of the same insect. The figure of Cramer, Vol. I, p. 60, 

 fig". C, differs from the Albany spécimens in having the large 

 subtriangular discal mark smaller, and by the présence of a 

 broad white basai dash above this mark i. e., between it and the 

 Costa. The submarginal spots are also much larger and more 

 sharply defined than in Corningii, those in the apex of the latter 

 being lost in the brown cloud of the ground color. The secon- 

 daries, too, in Cramer's figure are wholly without the marginal 

 black band, and are represented as pure white. In H.-Schaeffer's 

 figure of C. Cronida, another System of marking prevails on the 

 secondaries. The marginal band is very broad, occupying one 

 third of the wing, is waved inwardly about the middle, and 

 mcloses a séries of six small white spots, mostly ovate in shape. 

 The primaries bear a greater ressemblance to Corningii than 

 they do to Cronis Cramer.
