CHERSONESIA RAHRIOIDES (Plate 307, fig. 4, 4a, c? ? ). 



Imago. — Male. Upper side reddish-ochreous. Foreivbuj crossed by two sub- 

 basal and two inner-discal slender black lines, which are equidistant one from the 

 other and are veiy slightly excuiwed, followed by a medial-discal slender straight, 

 dusky fascia, an outer-discal black recurved line, and then by two submarginal 

 almost straight lines ; between the outer-discal and inner submarginal line are two 

 subapical and two posterior short black slender linear streaks, the lowest of the 

 latter being broken and less linear ; within the cell is a short black very fine line 

 contiguous and parallel to the inner subbasal line, a similar oblique line beyond the 

 second subbasal line, and two similar short lines bordering the discocellular veinlets. 

 Hindurinci crossed by two subbasal and two medial-discal equidistant slender black 

 straight Hues, a medial-discal slender straight dusky fascia ; an outer-discal and an 

 inner submarginal slender black line centred with a linear row of fine slender black 

 short streaks, the two latter outer lines being joined at the lower median veinlet and 

 ending in a double black-speckled ringlet centred with two short black streaks above 

 the anal angle ; outer submarginal line extremely slender, being black-and-yellow 

 speckled, and ending in two blue lunulas above the anal lobes, these two lunules
