Gray, Gen. iii. pi. 144. 



From the Camma, and the only specimens received from Mr. Duchaillu. Ev- 

 idently a peculiar and strongly marked species. In the specimens now before 

 me the reddish collar on the back of the neck is narrower, and more strongly 

 defined than as represented in Mr. Gray's very handsome plate, cited above.

 has been named by the Prince Bonaparte, Galachrysia.
