AULACODES CONFUSALIS, new species. 



With the pattern of markings of the preceding species and the fol- 

 lowing differences: the brown markings are expanded, reducing the 

 white areas to narrow lines; all the markings are broadly yellow cen- 

 tered, reducing the brown to narrow bordering lines; the subterminal 

 band in its upcurve to reniform is constricted, nearly defining a sep- 

 arate reniform spot. On the secondaries the two mesial l)ands are 

 lirown and become confluent centrally'; the marginal markings hardly 

 diti'er in the two species.

Lustrous brown, yellowish tinted, nearly unicolorous; the lines can 

 be traced faintly, whitish, narrow, with dark edges, occupying the 

 positions of the white bands of the two preceding species, of which 

 this is a further development in the same direction. Secondaries 

 shaded in brown, leaving three whitish bands which correspond appar 

 ently to the edges of the dark lines of the other species, the third band 

 being submarginal; a narrow marginal dull yellowish area with brown 

 edge on each side, but without any development of ocellate spots.
