'' Size of Memnoii. 



'• Male. — Wings black; the superiors having long grayish rays at the 

 extremities ; the inferiors marked on their posterior half by large 

 whitish-gray spots, sepai-ated by the nervules ; the anal angle marked 

 with a red spot, surmounted by a group of grayish-blue atoms. Below, 

 the primaries resemble the upper surface, with a triangular blood red 

 spot at the base ; the secondaries have four red spots at the base, sepa- 

 rated by the nervures, and along the outer margin a row of annulated 

 spots of the same color, of which the outermost are incomplete, and the 

 two inner ones elongated ; the second of these last being the largest, 

 and containing two black oval spots. 



'■^Female. — -Wings blackish; primaries striated on their middle with 

 long whitish rays, and the base covered by a large triangular blood red 

 spot, powdered with white atoms. 



" Secondaries of a brown-black, having three red-ringed spots on the 

 outer margin, proceeding from the anal angle, of which the middle one 

 is carried up to the base through the lower median interspace; in pass- 

 ing through the discoidal cellule it is cut by a bifid white nervure. 

 Below, the primaries are as above. The secondaries the same as in the 

 male, that is, with the three outermost rings open, whilst the fifth spot 

 extends towards the base, as on the upper surface; whereas in the male 

 this is most commonly interrupted. 



'•Manilla, (Coll. Boisd ) "—i?o/sf/. 



My specimens diifer somewhat from the above description. 



Male. — Body brownish, pale underneath ; femora have white hairs 

 on the side ; the anal spot is a lunule. Below it has five spots at the 

 base of the secondaries, the last extending some distance along the anal 

 margin ; there are seven spots on the outer margin, pupilled with black, 

 the four outermost being imperfect ; on the first and seventh, above 

 the black center, and on the sixth, between the two black pupils, small 

 groups of pink white atoms. Emarginations of the hind wings whitish.
