Colt as Beiikii, nov. sp. 



Male. Expands 1 \ inch. Upper side greenish -yellow, much sprin- 

 kled with minute black scales, especially on primaries; base of 

 wings black; bind margin of primaries broadly edged with black, 

 which is covered with greenish-yellow scales and not clearly defined on 

 the inner side; the marginal border of secondaries is clear black, of 

 in. .bum width, well defined on inner side, curving regularly, with no 

 prominent projections, and terminating a little short of the anal angle, 

 costa of primaries rose-colored; discal spot a in i mite yellow streak 

 edged with black scales; discal spot of secondaries small, round and 

 yellow; fringes greenish-yellow. 



Under side greenish-yellow, paler than secondaries above, entirely 

 specked with black scales, except on inner margin of primaries, where 

 the color is whitish ; discal spot of primaries a yellow streak, of second- 

 aries minute, yellow, edged with a few rosy scales ; costa of each wing 

 rose-colored; abdomen and palpi greenish-yellow; legs and antennae 

 rose-colored. 



Female. A little larger than the male, paler green, the marginal 

 black border less distinct and more expanded at apex of primaries ; 

 fringes both above and below roseate, in contrast to the fringes of the 

 male, which are yellow.

Males. Expand from T 9 to 1,'^ inch. Upper side usually deep glossy 

 violet-blue, but sometimes with a pink tinge; costal margin of pri- 

 maries silvery ; bind margins of both wings edged by a black line 

 which is expanded on the apical half of primaries into a border ; on 

 this part of the wing the fringe is black, but on the lower half, and 

 on secondaries, it is white, with black at the ends of the nervules; oc- 

 casionally on secondaries it is entirely white; in many cases the black 

 marginal line turns the anal angle and there thickens, so as to make a 

 noticeable spot; as often there is a black elongated spot at the outer 

 angle, and sometimes five or six dots between these along the margin. 



Under side of both wings greyish-white, of uniform color entirely to 

 the margin ; primaries have a dark grey discal streak, a submarginal 

 transverse row of six rather broad, mostly elongated black spots, the 

 first next costa in advance of the line, the others parallel to the mar- 

 gin, the 3rd, 4th. 5th standing obliquely; along the margin a row of
