** Ailes brunes ; les antérieures présentent alternativement des lignes ondulées plus 
obscures et plus pales et en outre quatre bandes transversales d’un gris blanchatre 
interrompues par des lignes brunes. La premiére de ces bandes est presque basilaire, la 
4™° presque terminale, la 2™ en deca et la 3"° audela dumilieu. Les ailes postérieures, 
plus rembrunies dans leur moitié inférieure que vers la base, ont une large bande rouge 
atténuée avant d’arriver au cété interne de l’aile. En outre il existe pres du bord 
terminal des stries transversales et 3 ou 4 taches noiratres.”

CoRONIDIA EGINA, var.? (Plate LXX XVII. figs. 6, 7.) 
I have represented in figs. 6 & 7 an insect from Sao Paulo, Brazil, in the Hopeian 
Collection, which agrees in nearly every respect with the figure given of this species in 
the Crochard edition of the ‘Régne Animal; but the precise form of the markings 
of the fore wings is either incorrectly given in that figure, or we must regard the insect 
before us as distinct. ‘The red band of the hind wings also is more ovate than in the 
Crochard figure, with its outer edge scalloped ; and it only extends to the middle of the 
wing instead of arriving in an attenuated form at the anal margin; the tail also is very 
broadly spatulate in the Hopeian specimen ; the longitudinal lower discoidal vein of 
the fore wings is also white beyond the fascia, uniting with the white inner edge of the 
pale apical border, and enclosing therewith a broad dark patch, widest at the costa, 
which space on the underside of the wing is tinged with rosy. The underside of the 
wings of this insect is so beautiful that I have given a separate figure of it. If it 
’ should ultimately prove to be distinct from C. egina, I propose the name of paulina for 
it. The specimen measures 2} inches in the expanse of the fore wings, which are 
rather sharply pointed at the tip, with the hind margin dilated and rounded. The 
characteristic sexual characters of the wings are wanting.
