This species has been long known to Entomologists, 

 having been well figured by Martyu in the year 1797. 

 Since that date, specimens appear to have been obtained 

 by every collector who has visited the Island of San 

 Domingo. The species was described by Godart in the 

 year 1819, under the name briarea, and mention is made 

 of it by Menetries in his list of Jaeger's collection. Spe- 

 cimens were also procured in the neighbourhood of Port- 

 au-Prince by the late Mr. Tweedie, from whose collection 

 our specimens were derived. As Hiibner's figure of 

 C. numida is, perhaps, the best known, and more acces- 

 sible than that of Martyn, I will here shortly point out 

 the diflferences between C. pantherata and its Cuban 

 representative. The most noticeable difference on the 

 upper surface is on the hind wings, which bear a double 

 instead of a triple row of black spots inside the dark 

 margin ; beneath, instead of a simple dark margin to the 

 hind wings, there is a series of well-defined V-shaped 

 black markings, bordered inwardly with white; the 

 markings, too, of the posterior wings are much clearer, 

 the row of black spots outside the cell being very con- 

 spicuous. 



The sexes do not differ in coloration, but females are 

 rather larger in size.
