Atella pi'opinqua, n. s. 



Upper side : Eich reddish brown, with black markings. Pri- 

 maries, costa from about half way narrowly, apex (except where 

 deeply indented on inner side) broadly, outer margin nearly to 

 posterior angle, less widely black ; a row of three small black spots 

 (one of which is within the indentation) parallel with outer margin 

 within the apical area ; five short transverse lines within the cell ; 

 a curved irregular transverse band at end of cell ; a square blotch 

 (touching the costa) between last-named band and black portion of 

 apex. Secondaries with well-defined caudal prolongation of first 

 median ; from apex to anal angle margined with black, and a sub- 

 marginal row of black lunule-shaped marks ; otherwise without 

 markings. Under side : Brown, with pink-violet shadings, and 

 various silvery crescent-shaped marks disposed in irregular trans- 

 verse line across both wings about the centre ; a row of dark spots 

 parallel with the last, nearer to outer margin. Primaries with 

 silvery lunules at apex ; two short transverse dark bands within the 

 celL; a silvery patch at termination of cell touching costa. Outer 

 margins of both wings with indistinctly defined line of crescent- 

 shaped marks. Head, thorax, and abdomen rufous. Antennae 

 black. Expanse, 2|^ inches.

 on each wing. Primaries with the central orange patch extending 

 lightly along the median, nearly to the base. Secondaries with the 

 central orange patch smaller than in the primaries ; outer margin

 from centre of wing to termination orange ; fringe light buff, with
