consider the specimens with these antennae females. They are now for the first time 

 noticed ; and I know no other instance amongst Lepidopterous insects in which pectina- 

 tions are developed in the female antennse whilst those of the male are simple. On 

 the underside the wings are brown, buff at the base, the fore wings without basal 

 markings and with a central fascia shaped as on the upperside, Avhite, very slightly 

 tinged with luteous ; the apical margin with a sharply marked pale buff edge, slightly 

 scalloped mthin and finely irrorated with brown scales ; the costa indistinctly marked 

 with four dark spots beyond the fascia : the hind wings have a central, strongly 

 scalloped, narrow, pale buff fascia, very oblique, preceded and followed by a slender 

 black waved line, the veins beyond the fascia being dark brown, dotted with minute 

 buff marks ; between the anal angle and the tail, and between the tail and the outer 

 angle, the margin of the hind wings is buff, irrorated with brown scales.

This species is distinguished by the middle band of the fore wings being more trans- 

 verse, reaching considerably within tlie posterior angle of the wings, to which it is 

 united by a short marginal extension, so that it is much more continuous with the band 

 of the hind wings than in any of the other blue-banded species.

Sp. 5 (38). CORONIDIA HTSUDRUS. 



C. alis fusco-nigris, fascia media non continua anticarum obliqua alba, posticarum 

 subcurvata, cyaneo micante ; subtus fuscis, anticis fascia lilacino-alba, posticis testaceo 

 irroratis (mas. et fem.). Expans. alar, antic, lin. 24, 25. 



Coronis hysudrus, Hopfier, Lep. nov. pi. Ixxxvii. figs. 4, 5. 



This species is closely allied to C. boreada, from which it differs in the form of the 

 pale band of the hind wings, and in the structure of the antennae. Hopffer 

 figures a female, but states that specimens of both sexes are in the Berlin Museum. 

 It is therefore evident that, had the antennae in either or both sexes been pectinated, 

 he would have represented or described them so.
