Catocala Cassandra. Hy. Edw. na. sp. 
Primaries, dull gray, clouded with black. Lines, all distinct and regular. 
T.a., nearly straight, and with the indentations small. T. p., slightly bent 
on costa, with small and regular teeth, running obliquely from its center to 
interior margin, wanting the usual elbowed line, and reaching the margin be- 
hind its center. Sub-terminal line, almost obsolete. Reniform, black, sur- 
rounded by a black cloud, which reaches from costa to interior margin. Sub- 
reniform, whitish, indistinct. 
Secondaries, pale red. Mesial band, narrow; of equal width for more than 
half its length, then abruptly narrowed, and bending almost at a right angle 
to abdominal margin. Marginal band, broad at the apex, with the indenta- 
tions near anal angle moderate. Apices white, tinged with orange red. 
Fringe, white. 
Under side. Usual bands, the mesial of secondaries terminating abruptly 
about two-tenths of an inch before reaching abdominal margin, and not con- 
tinued to the margin asin the upper side. Inner half of secondaries, pale 
red. 
Expanse of wings, 3.60 inch. 
Guadalajara, Mexico, Baron Terloo. (Coll. Hy. Edw.) 
Its large size, primaries clouded with black, and the peculiar form of the 
mesial band of secondaries, will serve to distinguish this from any other 
known species.
