ncarlj- parallel to the hind margin ; within the middle of this runs^ 

 a narrow vitreons stri2)c covering the outer half of seven cells ; one 

 or two very irregular scries of transverse cells beyond the middle 

 of the wing, not even uniform on both sides ; inner marginal region 

 tinged with yellow, but less strongly than the costa ; costal cross- 

 nervures not forked, but most of the apical ncrviircs beyond the 

 stigma and on the hind margin are forked. Hind wings hyaline, 

 brown along the hind margin, the first six or seven marginal 

 nervures from the tip furcate or bifurcate. 



"The ncuration of this and the two following species somewhat 

 resembles that ofrK. panorpcefonnis, Guer. ^o dates of capture 

 are attached to any of the specimens." 



Two specimens : Flying Fish Cove, August, 1897, and East 

 Coast, October, 1897. "

 ; '■'■Male. — Very similar to the last species, but darker above, the 



J brown bands on the clypeus beyond the inner carina darker ; 

 I undersurface of body yellow, with irregular black markings 



4 beneath the wings, and a large spot on the pectus between the 



* two first pairs of legs ; abdomen not banded with green above, 

 : but with a row of yellow spots on the sides. AVings hyaline, not 

 ; tinged with yellow on the costa or inner margin, but with a j-ellow 



spot on the costa (likewise edged with black witliin) before the 

 black stigma ; below the stigma are some small brown blotches 



5 along the line of the inner row of transverse cells ; there are also 

 ' two small brown spots nearer the base on the lower half of the 

 ' wing ; hind margin brown for about one -sixth of the width of 



the wing, and marked with two irregular hyaline spaces, eacli 

 covering several cells ; close to the hind margin runs an interrupted 

 row of small hyaline dots. Hind wings hyaline, edged with 

 brown, except towards the anal angle. Neuration nearly as in 

 the last species, but the outer row of transverse cells less 



♦ numerous."
