u Upperside dark sepia- brown : forewing with three connected semi- 

 transparent yellowish- white spots before the apex, two below them nearer

 of the cell : hindwing with a large medial discal semi-transparent yellowish- 

 white sinuous-bordered patch. Cilia alternated with white. Underside: 

 forewing as above : hindwing with the white patch extending medially to 

 base of the wing and traversed by a dark brown sinuous streak below end 

 of the cell ; outer margin of the wing suffused with greyish-white. Body

" Differs from Geloenorrhinus, Hiibner, in the forewing being more 

 triangular, the middle disco-cellular nervule being distinctly longer 

 instead of shorter than the lower disco-cellular, concave instead of 

 almost straight, the middle and lower disco-cellular nervules taken 

 together less strongly inwardly oblique ; the hindwing is also shorter 

 and more produced posteriorly, the costa is more arched, the discoidal 

 cell is distinctly shorter, thus causing all the veins which spring from it 

 (the first and second subcostal, the discoidal, and the three median 

 nervules) to be distinctly longer. 



There is a marked difference in the length of the haustellum or 

 tongue, which in C. leucocera, Kollar, measures r8 inches, in N. alysos y 

 Moore, only -9 of an inch, or exactly half. Type, the Plesioneura curvi- 

 fascia of Felder.
