Upper surface, brown-black ; some dark longitudinal rays visible in 

 the discoidal cellule, and towards the extremity of the superior wings- 

 Inferior wings with a large white spot near the outer angle, rounded 

 within, indented externally, and divided by two nervules into three 

 unequal parts; a red anal lunule, more or less indistinct; tail krue. 

 black and spatulate; crenulations white. Expanse 5.81 inches. 



]ielow, a row of sub-marginal obloug grayish-white dashes on the 

 fore wings; the hind wings have, in addition to the large white spot. 

 a marginal row of seven spots, rusty red, of which the five outer are 

 lunulate. the two inner ocelliform; that at the anal angle is confluent 

 at its upper extremity with a luuule of the same color, both being 

 crossed by a violet ray. Body black, studded with white points. 



®In order to guard against the possibility of any supposition that I liave er- 

 roneously assigned to Linne, species belonging to Clerck. in this, and other in- 

 stances, I must state that the precedence given him in the synonymy, is in the 

 order of the date, and not due to any priority of nomenclature: for though he 

 figured the species, their methodical classification was reserved, intact, for 

 Linn:eus.
