Collection of Madame Gaston Fourmer. 71 
Fortunately, Mr. Talbot was passing through Paris on his 
way to visit M. Charles Oberthiir at Rennes, and I asked him 
to be kind enough to examine Houlbert’s type ; and he did so, 
and found, as I expected, that it is the species without the 
hairy underside of fore wing. [also examined the specimens 
in the Paris Museum that were sent to Houlbert, and found 
them all to be the non-hairy species. 
As Dr. Jordan’s description appeared in May 1917, and 
that of Houlbert in March of the same year, it is the latter 
who has priority, and grandis, Jordan, sinks as a synonym, 
The pale spots of double row of hind wing in this species 
are very variable in size; in one specimen from French 
Guiana the outer-row is almost obsolete; other specimens 
have the spots of the inner row smaller than those of the 
outer, while others have them of similar size in each row. 
The two specimens from Para are not to be distinguished 
from those from Guiana.

Lord Rothschild states (Novit. Zool. xxvi. p. 3, 1919) that 
the nine males at Tring agree exactly with Preiss’s figure ; 
one of the specimens in Madame Fournier’s collection differs 
in having the oblique white band of fore wing extended to 
vein 1.

This appears to be an exceedingly rare species. The type 
is from Iquitos, Upper Amazons. The two specimens in 
Madame Fournier’s collection differ from Preiss’s figure of 
the type [‘ Neue und seltene Arten des Lepidopteren-Genus 
Castnia, ‘af. i. fig. 4 (1899)], inasmuch as the oblique 
white band of fore wing is not continued as far as margin.
