G R O S E SMITH O N [June 17, The collection is not in very good condition and has suffered damp ; but considering the great difficulties under which it was formed, it is surprising that under the circumstances Mr. Bonny was able to preserve the Insects so well.

Anterior wings resemble infida, Butl., but the black bar across the end of the cell is attenuated in the middle, the upper and lowrer part being connected only by a black line ; the apical black area is rather broader, and the white streaks in it are rather more linear. On the posterior wings the black border of infida is represented by large triangular spots at the ends of the veins confluent at their base, inside which, between the veins, is a row of six black spots, the uppermost, on the costal margin, the largest. |
