SATYRID^ CORADES. 



CORADES CISTENE. 4, 5. 



Upperside. Male, dark rufous-brown. Anterior wing crossed near the apex 

 and outer margin by an irregular band of six rufous spots. Posterior wing rufous- 

 brown, dark brown at the apex, where it is marked Ijy two or three small rufous 

 spots. 



Underside. Anterior wing as above, except that there is an oblong spot within 

 the cell, that the a])ex is rufous-brown undulated with silver, and that the three spots 

 of the band near it are white and indistinct. Posterior wing undulated with brown, 

 its centre silver-white crossed by a broad oblique band (of unusual form) of dark 

 rufous-brown, hitersected at the median nervule by a line of white, and followed by a 

 band of six black spots, the anal spot, which is largest, dotted with white : the inner 

 and outer margins broadly brown. 



Var. (Figs. 4, 5.) With all the rufous spots larger than usual, the three spots 

 of the posterior wing forming a curved band. 



This species varies considerably on the underside of the posterior wing. In some examples the 

 whole of the broad band, e.\cept its margins, is like the rest of the wing, of a silver-white. 



Females are very scarce in the genus Corades, as far as it is represented in our collections. My 

 own collection is without one, and in a rather large series in the British Museum, there are only two.
