 I do not hesitate to identify this with Felder's figure, the species 

 being so distinct in character, though he represents the dorsal half 

 of forewings as wholly deep crimson ; probably his figure is over-

 example, as no description has been published. Felder's specimen 

 was stated to be from Mauritius.
