lyEVi W. Mkngel, Reading, Pa. 



Hypolimnas aurifascia sp. nov. — Male. General color above brown, 

 approaching black. On the anterior wings a broad band of orange ex- 

 tends from near the centre of the costal margin three-quarters the dist- 

 ance across the wing to the inner angle. On the inferior wings a broad 

 band of orange runs parallel to the margin from the apex to the anal an- 

 gle. This band varies in breadth from ^ in. at the apex to j% at the 

 broadest part, which is near the centre, to j\ of an inch at the anal angle. 

 This band is sharply cut and is not suffused at any point. A narrow band 

 of the brown of the general color borders the exterior margin. In the 

 centre of each nervule, in the orange band, there is a dark brown spot. 

 Under sides of the male generally paler brown on the anteriors, lighter 

 towards the apex. The orange bands show through, but become buff. 

 A few small white spots show on the anteriors near the apex and along 

 the costal margin near the base. The band of the inferiors is darker to- 

 wards the exterior, and the row of brown spots of the upper surface are 

 marked with small white spots. A narrow band of light buff passes near 

 the margin, separating the broad band from the margin. 



The female is of a generally lighter brown. The orange bands of the 

 male are replaced by bands of bufif. A row of white spots extends from 

 near the apex to the inner angle, running parallel to the margin. A faint
