The male is a shorter and broader insect than that sex of any 

 of the preceding species : the primaries are less falcate, with the 

 outer margin much less inarched ; these wings on the upper 

 surface are immaculate, but the secondaries show precisely the 

 same markings on the outer border as the female ; the under 

 surface is glossed precisely as in the female, and sometimes 

 shows well-marked indications of the whitish characters of that 

 sex. The only species with which it might be confounded, if 

 carelessly examined, is C. etJialion ; but it is much more sericeous 

 on the under surface, and its geographical distribution would 

 assist in showing to which female of the white-banded species it 

 belonged.

1 am very doubtful about our male, and think it much more 

 probable that the insect figured by Dewitz (loc. cit. fig. 10) is 

 the true male of this species, and our example that sex of 

 C. Dewitzi.
