only by the veins; a small yellow spot within the discoidal cell, at 

 three-fourths its lenath from the base. 



Upon the secondaries the continuity of the inner band is preserved, 

 while the sub-marginal lunules remain widely separated although con- 

 siderably increased in size ; the outer of these and the anal ocellus are 

 rufous, the latter with a black spot as above; the lower ends of the 

 fourth and fifth spots of the mesial band are sometimes tinged with 

 the same color; lunulate blue atoms between the two bauds as above. 



Antenna? and body, black ; thorax with a dirty yellowish brown 

 line above the wings, upon each side, terminating in a fulvous point 

 below the head; a lateral yellow spot upon the abdomen, near the anus. 



I cannot reconcile this beautiful species, with Dr. Boisduval's de- 

 scription of Pap. Aristor, Godt,, to which, however, with Asterius, it 

 must be closely allied. It has neither " a black tail of medium length, 

 slightly spatulate," nor upon the under side of the secondaries, in- 

 terior to the blue crescents, " a transverse, bent row of five spots, of 

 which the three superior are yellow, and punctiform; the two inferior, 

 fulvous, lunulate and larger." 



In this species, as in Asterius, there are seven spots composing the 

 inner band of the secondaries, although differing from that in other 

 respects stated above. 



It is impossible to suppose that this can be the variety of Asterius.

Two of the specimens, I possess, differ somewhat from the figure in 

 the Proc. of the Society, in that the second transverse bar of the 

 primaries, has an extension of black atoms to the first median nervule; 

 in another, the fore wings are strongly falcate. 



Mr. Ridings took these in June, upon the mountains only ; he con- 

 siders them, rather scarce, and in common with all the montane 

 species, of difficult capture, from the impossibility of ascending the 

 sides of the canons in which they are most generally found. 



Flight, high, and very similar to that of Turnus.
