ing. The white and blue patch onthe inner margin beyond the 
median shade is also obvious in all specimens. The species.seems not 
rare locally ; but there are usually not many in collections.

“‘ Male.—Green, cinereous beneath. Proboscis slender. Palpi porrect, pilose, not 
extending beyond the head. Antenne tawny, moderately pectinated. Tegule of 
the thorax bordered with black and with whitish. Abdomen cinereous, extending 
rather beyond the hind wings. Fore wings black speckled; orbicular and reniform 
marks large, whitish, partly black bordered ; an exterior whitish band interrupted 
near the internal angle by a broad green streak, which contains two little black lines; 
two black lines, one extending from the base, the other angular and proceding from 
the costa, both joining a whitish, black-bordered spot which is behind the orbicu- 
lar; marginal points black. Hind wings dingy, cinereous; veins blackish towards 
the exterior border; under side with a black spot in the disk and an exterior black- 
ish denticulate line. Length of the body 6 lines; of the wings 16 lines. 
This species has some resemblance to C, ridens, but is most allied to C. caniplaga, 
and with it may form a new genus.”

It is uot impossible that this is a form of muralis. The description 
fits it fairiy well, but it would need Floridan material more closely 
agreeing with Walker’s characterization to enable the reference to be 
definitely made. Mr. Grote’s correction of the generic reference has 
alone made this suggestion possible, and he himself says it is “close to 
D. muraltis, while smaller.” 
[Since the above was sent to the printer I have seen the type in the 
British Museum and find it to be muralis without a doubt. |

Ash gray varying to dark, smoky, or even blackish gray, in pale specimens with } 
faint greenish washes. T. a. line geminate, black, with paler included spaces, quite 2 | 
usually subobsolete. A usually prominent black basal dash, looped beyond the t. a. 
line to form the claviform, which is broad and white powdered. Below this dash 
the basal space is white powdered. T. p. line geminate, quite acutely projected 
outwardly below costa, inwardly oblique, irregular, forming an acute angle on vein 
2, and there almost reaching the claviform, Beyond this line the wing is usually 
white powdered, the s. t. line defined by the contrast between the dark terminal and 
paler subterminal spaces, cut in the submedian interspace by a prominent black | 
dash. Sometimes the color is more even, and the s. t. line isthen a broad, irregular, i 
indefinite white line, cut as before opposite the anal angle. A row of black termi-_ 
nal dots, fringes also tipped by a broken brown line. Orbicular large, round, : 
slightly paler, annulate, with whitish gray. Reniform large, pale, whitish, with a 
fuscous inner lunule, usually fairly well defined. A vague, irregular median shade
