scarlet towards tlie aual angle, marked by several large black spots, 

 one near tbe base below the median nervure, one in the middle of the 

 cell, and another below this ; crossed at the middle by two bands of 

 three spots each, those nearest the costal margin united. Posterior 

 wing scarlet, the base dark brown, marked by many darker spots, and 

 bordei'cd b}^ five black spots ; a suh-marginal series of black spots, the 

 outer margin dark brown. 



Under-side : as above, except that it is paler, and that the base of 

 the posterior wing is tinted with carmine and green, and has the spots 

 (eighteen in number) distinctly marked. 



Exp. 3 inches. 



Much like A. JUgina, but distinguished from it and all the other 

 species of Acr<sa by the sub-marginal spots of the anterior wing. 



Apatuea Cleochares, sp. n. 

 Tipper-side : (J . Dark brown. Anterior wing with the base red- 

 brown, a sjiot in the cell bordered inwardly with black, a large spot 

 below this deeply indented on the basal side and bordered with black ; 

 crossedatthe middle by three spots, thefirst of which (nearthecostalmar- 

 gin) is trifid, all rufous-orange ; two minute white spots near the apex. 

 Posterior wing rufous, paler near the costal margin, protruded at the 

 anal angle, the base rufous-brown, the outer margin dark bro\vTi ; a 

 sub-marginal series of four black spots, a single black spot above 

 these near the abdominal margin. 



Under-side : very pale, clouded with lilac-brown towards the 

 outer margins ; both wings with a sub-marginal black line, bordered 

 above with paler colour. Anterior wing as above, except that there 

 are two minute black spots in the cell, a large black spot filling the 

 indentation described above, a second black spot between the median 

 nervules beyond the middle. Posterior wing undulated with rufous- 

 brown, with the costal margin curved outwardly near the base and 

 apex and iuAvardly at the middle, and marked by small black linear spots ; 

 a small spot near the base, and a linear spot from the costal margin 

 dark brown, a larger central spot of lilac and brown ; the black spot 

 above the anal angle has a centre of pale blue. 



Exp. 1t^ inch. 



This species would at first sight be taken for a Vanessa. The eyes 



are, however, smooth ; and I have, I think, fixed its true position, near 



A. Ionia.
