GENUS CATAGRAMMA. Boisd. 

 Catagramma Latona, sp. nov. 



$. Alse anticse supra simillimae C. Sorance ?., plaga autem 

 basali rufa multo latiore, striolaque apicaH albida, baud 

 fulva : posticse nigrse basi paululum refescentes, plaga 

 permagna media caerulea nitida ; ciliis albis ; corpus nigro- 

 fuscum. 



Alas subtus fere velut in C. Sorana, anticae autem plaga 

 basali latiore ; posticee lineis flavis latioribus et profundius 

 dentatis : corpus fiavum nigro-strigatum. 



Frontwings above very like C. Sorana $, but with the 

 basal red patch much wider, the apical streak whitish, not 

 yellow : hindwings black, slightly reddish at the base, with 

 a large central shining blue patch, fringe white, body dark 

 brown. 



Wings below almost as in C. Sorana, but the frontwings 

 with wider basal red patch, tlie liindwings with the yellow 

 lines more deeply toothed, body yellow, black streaked : 

 expands 9 inches, 6 lines. 



Inhabits — ? Coll. Kaden. in Coll. Druce. 



This very beautiful species, though very like C. Sorana 

 on the under surface, is quite different above. As most of 

 the specimens of C. Sorana are females, it cannot belong 

 to that species.
