This obscurely coloured species is' remarkable for its elongated fore wings (which are 

 rounded at the apex) and its oval hind wings. In the fore wings there is no cell formed 

 by the basal portion of the branches of the postcostal vein ; nor is there any transverse 

 connexion between the 3rd and 4th branches of the same vein. (See Plate XXVIII. 

 %. 12.) 



63. (8) Castnia columbina. " Ailes superieures d'un noir fonce ; elles out a la base, deux 

 bandes longitudinales, d'un roux un peu enfum6, dont l'inferieure se termine par deux 

 rayons blanchatres : outre cela, il y a sur le milieu de la cote un petit trait blanc et 

 au-dessous de celui-ci, pres de la principale nervure, une tache blanche arrondie ; 

 plus bas et plus en dehors deux taches blanches cuneiformes, l'extremite posterieure 

 offre deux rangees paralleles de taches blanches inegales, les unes rondes, les autres 

 allongees : ailes inferieures d'un fauve vif, avec une bordure noire crenelee, et une 

 rangee de points blancs; outre cela elles offrent au-dela du milieu deux ou trois

 wings.
