" Ailes brunes ; les anterieures presentent alternativement des lignes ondulees plus 

 obscures et plus pales et en outre quatre bandes transversales d'un gris blanchatre 

 interrompues par des lignes brunes. La premiere de ces bandes est presque basilaire, la 

 4"" presque terminale, la 2""' en de9a et la 3""= au dela du milieu. Les ailes post^rieures, 

 plus rembrunies dans leur moitie inferieure que vers la base, ont une large bande rouge 

 attenu^e avant d'arriver au cote interne de I'aile. En outre il existe pres du bord 

 terminal des stries transversales et 3 ou 4 taches noiratres."

CoRONiDiA EGINA, var. I (Plate LXXXVII. 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 ' Regne 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 ^vings 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 otpaulina for 

 it. The specimen measures 2J inches in the expanse of the fore wings, which are 

 rather sharply pointed at the tip, vtdth the hind margin dilated and rounded. The 

 characteristic sexual characters of the wings are wanting.
