Obs. The type-specimen of this species in the British 

 Museum is a male measuring nearly 2 in. in expanse^ The 

 specimens collected by Mr. Hickson are larger (2% in.), 

 and with richer and somewhat more varied orange-red 

 markings. The tripartite spot between the middle and 

 apex of the fore wings is larger, and followed by a curved 

 orange-red streak and a narrower subapical one. The larger 

 spot between the middle of these wings and the posterior 

 angle is followed by another curved narrow one, which 

 ascends to the third brauch of the median vein, and is 

 followed next the anal angle by a still more slender curved 

 streak. The two orange-red bands of the bind wings are 

 of nearly equal width, and between them and also outside 

 of the second is a narrow obscurely paler brown striga. 



Patria : Talisin-Insel, am Nordkap von Celebes.
