tinct wavy submargiiial lines coiumenciiigatapex and terminating in 

 a minute black gpot at anal angle. A small black, faintly blue centred 

 ocellus between 2nd and 3rd median nervules. Ocellus ringed first 

 with yellow, then with reddish, with -a minute white spot at upper 

 end. Minute white spots occasionally between the discoidal, and 

 1st and 2nd median nervules. Expanse 37-43 mm. 



9 . Upperside — Fore-wings dark brown, lower basal half reddish ; 

 one silky patch. Hind-wings as in ^ , but with more red at anal 

 angle ; cell also reddish, and black spot at anal angle more distinct. 



Underside — ^Fore- wings as in ^, but slightly paler. More red in 

 and about cell. Hind-wings as in ^ , but paler. Expanse 42-48 mm.

This species exhibits considerable variation in the amount 

 of red on the upperside of hind-wings, and in the ground 

 colour and richness of markings of the underside. Speci- 

 mens that I obtained at Castleton, at an elevation of from 

 400 to 1,000 feet, were much brighter than those I took at 

 Cinchona on the Blue Mountains at an elevation of from 

 5,000 to 6,000 feet. The single female from Demerara 

 corresponds with the lowland Jamaican form. I met with 

 C. zangis very commonly in Jamaica ; it frequents shady 

 places ; its flight is low, and it rarely keeps a long time on 

 the wing, having when pursued a habit of settling among 

 'dead leaves, to whose colour it closely assimilates.

 ■•wings dark brown, paler at hind and inner margins. A black spot, 

 bordered inwardly with reddish, at anal angle. 



Underside — Fore-wings brown. Discoidal cell filled with reddish 

 ■and crossed at centre by a broAvn line. A darkish irregular brown 

 dine crossing wings at end of cell. Two wavy submarginal lines. 

 A large black, orange-bordered ocellus above 1st median nervule. 

 'Two bluish-white spots within ocellus. Hind-wings bright reddish 

 ■brown, speckled with orange near anal angle, duller towards hind- 

 imargin. A wavy dark brown line commencing on costa, crossing 

 'cell, where it is broken on median nervure, terminating at inner 

 :margin,not far from base. A second wavy dark brown line, crossing 

 wings just beyond cell. Two indented dark brown submarginal 

 lines, terminating in a black spot at anal angle. A rather large
