i^EKEDAY. — Siqyplementary Description of Clirysopliani. 253 



indicating certain characters and circumstances wliich api^eared to afford 

 reasonable ground for treating several of the New Zealand forms of Cliryso- 

 pliani as distinct species or varieties. 



Not having had time to complete the coloured drawings intended to 

 illustrate the several forms, I promised to prepare such drawings and to 

 give a full description in a future paper, and I now fulfil that promise. 



The several letters — A, B, C, D, E, F and G — used in my former paper 

 to indicate the different forms, will be now used to mdicate the like. 



Chkysophanus salustius, Fah. 



B. Male : Primaries.- — Broad ; costa slightly rounded towards the apex 

 and considerably so at the base ; hind margin uniformly convex. 



Upper side. — Fulgid golden-copper, dusky at the base ; the dusky shade 

 not extending to the^discoidal dots ; two black dots before the middle, the 

 one being in the discoidal cell and the other between the medial and anal 

 nervures ; a black quadrate patch on the false nervure closing the discoidal 

 cell ; beyond the middle and midway between the quadrate patch and the 

 submargiual band, a curved and rather narrow black band disrupted by the 

 intersection of the nervures ; a submarginal black macular band, the 

 maculae more or less confluent ; hind margin bordered with black ; the 

 border and submarginal band contiguous towards the anal angle, and con- 

 fluent towards the ai^ex where they expand and form a broad termination 

 on the costa ; nervures slightly bordered and in some individuals slightly 

 m'orated with black ; cilia pale fulvous. 



Under side. — Luteous ; the base, costa, hind margin, and apex, pale dull 

 yellow blending with the luteous ; the discoidal black dots and quadi'ate 

 patch as on the upper side, the latter formed of two confluent s]3ots, the 

 first band beyond the patch re^Dresented by seven (occasionally eight) 

 roundish black spots, and the s^Dot between the externo-medial and su.b- 

 externo-medial nervures being (in some individuals) blotched outwardly, 

 and the two between the subexteruo-medial and anal nervures being 

 didymous ; the maculae of the submarginal band diminish in size from the 

 anal angle towards the apex where they become obsolete ; cflia pinkish- 

 orange. 



Secondaries : Upper side. — Fulgid golden-copper, dusky at the base and 

 inner margin ; a dusky dot in the discoidal cell towards the base ; a black 

 patch closing the discoidal cell, midway between which and the submarginal 

 band is a rather narrow irregular curved black macular band ; the macule 

 of the latter band sagittate ; hind margin bordered with black, the black 

 border and submarginal band being confluent towards the anterior margin ; 

 cilia pale fulvous.
