nervure and running parallel to hind margin down to inner margin, near the 

 centre of the wing area. Beyond this is an area of the ground color and then a 

 prominent orange line or band running from a point just above the centre of 

 costa towards hind margin, turning at median nervure and running down to 

 inner margin one-sixteenth of an inch in from hind margin, forming nearly a 

 semicircle. This line, the prominent feature of the markings, is broader at 

 costa and terminates in a point at inner margin. The apical area, outside of 

 this and the hind marginal area, is the same color as the discoid al spot, 

 blackish. 



Upper side of hind wing is the same, except that the spots suffuse, nearly 

 forming a band. The orange band of fore wing is continued, but narrower, ex- 

 tending from upper angle to anal angle parallel to hind margin. The inner 

 margin is of the ground color. 



The wings have a slight fringe of the ground color. 



The markings of the under side of both wings are similar to those of the 

 upper surface, although slightly lighter. 



This species resembles C. ccecias Hew. 



Carystus richardi A. G. Weeks, Jr. 1 



(Plate IV, Figure 3.) 

 Habitat: Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse: 1.30 inches. 



Head and collar bronzy brown. Antennae black. Club black above, brown 

 beneath. Thorax above, dark brown, with some dark gray hairs; beneath, 

 white. Abdomen above, dark brown, the segments edged with white ; beneath, 

 white. Legs black above, brown beneath. 



Upper side of fore wing dark brown. Below the median nervure and border- 

 ing on it is a prominent semitransparent white spot, nearly square. Above this, 

 and nearly joining it, is a small white dot in the discoidal space. At the bases 

 of the two interspaces above this large spot are two smaller white spots in a 

 line drawn towards the apex. Below the costa, two-thirds the distance to apex, 

 are two small white spots, the upper one merely a dot. These make a total of 

 six spots. 



Upper side of hind wing dark brown. A dash of white, or rather a series of 

 interspacial white marks, extends across the centre only of the wing in a line 

 drawn from the upper angle to a point near the base on inner margin. This 

 white area represents a small portion only of the total wing area. 



Hind margins have a slight gray fringe. 



Under side of fore wing the same as upper surface, except that below the 

 large white spot is a space of similar size, heavily dusted with white scales,
