27. Castnia clitabcha. (Tab. XXXI. fig. 1, 2.) Foem. alis anticis magnis obovalibus 

 apice subacutis, stramineo-albis, brunneo-fusco variegatis, maculis in medio e 

 costa literam b magnam reversam valde obliquam rude simulantibus, striolaque

 corpore toto fulvo tborace saturatiore, subtus paUidiore. 



Mas multo minor, alis anticis saturate fulvis notuHs fceminse multo minus distinctis ; alis 

 posticis basi paullo obscurioribus, aliter ut in foemina notatis. Long. corp. maris 

 fere unc. l^, foem. imc. If . Expans. alar. antic. maris unc. 3^, foem. unc. 5. 



This species is closely allied to C. inca, the figures of which Mtherto published appear 

 to represent female specimens. The female of the present species has the fore wings 

 much more strongly variegated ; and the broad black border of the hind wings in C. inca, 

 with its row of pale straw-coloured spots, is replaced by a richly coloured and marked 

 margiri in C. clitarcha. The cell and branches of the postcostal vein of the fore wing 

 are arranged as in V. LatreilUi, the third and fourth branches separating at a consider- 

 able distance beyond the ceU.
