J White, with hlackish markings. Fore-wing : base narrowly grey- 
ish ; costa narrowly edged with blackish ; at extremity of discoidal cell 
a rather broad, short, blackish stripe, extending above subcostal nervure, 
but not touching costal edge ; a broad, blackish border on hind-margin, 
abruptly terminating on second median nervule, and containing four 
rounded white spots, the third of which, from costa, is almost always 
connected with the white ground-colour of wing, dividing the band 
into two portions. Hind-iving : on hind-margin a row of small black 
spots, one at extremity of, and inwardly projecting along, each nervule. 
Under side. — Fore-iuing : as on upper side, but disco-cellular stripe 
extended to costa by some fainter blackish colouring ; apical portion of 
hind-marginal hand tinged and dusted with chronie-yelloio. Hind-wing : 
nervures much clouded with yelloiu-dustcd grey, leaving a central, trans- 
verse, curved, macular band of white, and almost enclosing a row of 
five or six white spots on hind-margin ; costa at base, and most of the 
spaces hetiueen clouded nervures, tinged luith bright chronie-yelloiu. 
^ From Moschler's note on several c5 s and a 9 (Abhandl. Senckenberg. Naturf. Gesellsch., 
1887, p. 53), these Gold Coast specimens appear to belong to the form Creona, Cram. 
2 Esper's earlier figure of P. Eaphani {op. cit., i, pt. 2, t. Ixxxiv.) appears not to represent 
Hellica, Linn., but some allied species, Mr. W. F. Kirby {Cat. I). Lep., 1871, p. 451) 
regards it as intended to represent a variety of Daplidice, Linn.
