stripes, slightly diverging from the apex to the first 

 median branch, where the outer one terminates abruptly; 

 abdominal border of secondaries whitish; body stra-

 Ruviia aurantiacaria, Blanchard, in Gay's ' Fauna 



Chilena,' vii., p. 90, n. 1 ; pi. 7, fig. 7 (1852-4). 

 No exact locality noted. 



The female is much more densely mottled and striated 

 with red-brown and grey than the male. 



Var. simplicior. 

 ^ . Differs from the typical form in having only a 

 minute blackish dot, or even nothing, in place of the large 

 black-edged grey spot on the internal border, near the 

 external angle of primaries. Four examples in the 

 collection.

 The No. (" 63 ") is omitted from Mr. Edmonds' notes, 

 so that I cannot tell the exact locality of this and the 

 following forms placed with them. 



Var. ? conspersa. (PI. XVI., fig. 1). 



3- . Smaller than the ordinary male, the yellow areas 

 on the primaries mottled all over with ferruginous. 

 Expanse of wings, 22 mm. 



The male figured by Herrich-Schaffer from Venezuela 

 rather more nearly approaches the female than the 

 males before me, the discal grey-bordered red belt being 

 narrower, and separated at its inferior extremity from 

 the interno-basal patch ; in the five typical Chilian 

 males collected by Mr. Edmonds the band and patch are 

 confluent, the former being about twice the width of that 

 in Herrich-Schaft'er's example.
