of pale yellow. A line and two small spots within the cell ; crossed 

 before the middle by a broad macular band of irregular unconnected 

 spots, the first two spots near the costal margin hastate (the se- 

 cond of them preceded by a small spot), the rest oblong (the last 

 extending to the base of the wing), followed by a band of five spots ; 

 all yellow. Posterior wing with the basal half yellow, divided by 

 broad black nervuresj Both wings crossed by two submarginal bands 

 of yellow spots — the first distinct and round, the second (near the 

 margin) minute and linear ; the margin also spotted with white. 



Underside as above, except that the anterior wing has two white 

 spots at the base of the costal margin, that the spots in the cell are 

 larger (the linear spot occupying the whole base of the cell), and 

 that the transverse band is broader and continuous ; that the posterior 

 wing has four white spots at the base, and the costal margin rufous. 



Exp. 3^ inches.

DiADEMA DIOMEA. (PI. VIII. fig. 2.) 



Alis omnibus nigris fasciis latis transversalibus liliaceo-albis, 

 anticis macula alba anali, posticis serie submarginali macu- 

 larum albarum. 

 Upperside, male : black. Both wings crossed transversely by a 

 broad band of lilac-white, divided into six parts by the nervures, 

 which are broad and black. Anterior wing with a distinct white spot 

 near the anal angle, followed by three small indistinct spots. Pos- 

 terior wing with four small white spots between the nervures, just 

 beyond the central band, two of them near the apex, two near the 

 anal angle ; a submarginal band of white spots, in pairs. The outer 

 margin of both wings spotted with white. 



Underside as above, except that the anterior wing has the cen- 

 tral band much broader, the costal margin near the base irrorated 

 with white, and three small white spots within the cell ; that the 

 posterior wing has a white oval spot at the middle of the costal 

 margin, the transverse band broader near the anal angle ; and that 

 both wings have two bands of white spots near the outer margin : 

 the first band, of triangular spots, in pairs ; the second, nearer the mar- 

 gin, of lunular spots, scarcely seen at the apex of the anterior wing. 



The female differs only in its greater size, and in having the trans- 

 verse bands white. 



Exp. 4^^^ inches.
