^ Blacldsli-hroion, with transimrent sjjots ; fore-wing with an inferior 

 opaque pure-white spot, and a thin white longitudinal streak hetween it 

 and base. Fore-wing, about middle, a large irregularly-quadrate spot, 

 crossed in its upper part by median nervure and bounded inferiorly by 

 first median nervule ; beyond it, a much smaller spot, between second 

 and third median nervules ; above and slightly beyond the large spot 

 another rather smaller elongate spot ; and beyond this last-named spot 

 a subcostal curved row of three very small spots ; opaque white spot 

 conspicuous, roughly trigonate, below large central transparent spot 

 and somewhat nearer to base ; white longitudinal streak not quite 

 touching this white spot or quite extending to base ; basal and costal 

 area irrorated with yellowish-grey. Hind-wing : a central, rather 

 obliquely-transverse, rather narrow, transparent bar lying between 

 second subcostal nervule and submedian nervure, — its lower part con- 

 stricted, sub-opaque, and interrupted between median and submedian 

 nervures ; hairs of basal and inner-marginal area yellowish-grey, becom- 

 ing whitish along a line between submedian and internal nervures. 

 Cilia whitish, becoming white about posterior angle in both wings. 

 Under side. — Hind-wing, and costal harder and apieal hind-marginal 

 area of fore-wing, hoary-grey with a violaceous gloss. Fore-iving : spots 

 as on upper side, but white longitudinal streak wanting. Hind-iving : 

 transparent bar as on upper side, but its lower constricted part joining 

 a rather wide longitudinal white ray from base, which ends acutely 

 beyond middle ; anal-angular area dark-brown with a very narrow 

 external edging of white ; an elongate ill-defined whitish spot between 

 first median nervule and submedian nervure ; between costal and sub- 

 costal nervures two small faint fuscous spots, one beyond the other ; a 

 discal row of four or five similar spots, beginning near costa and thence 

 skirting outer edge of transparent bar. 



Head and hody above blackish, — the head and thorax clothed with 

 mixed greyish, dull yellow-ochreous, and blackish hairs, — the ahlomen 

 with half-rings of white ; beneath white. 



Notwithstanding its much larger size and very much longer wings — 

 the fore-wing being produced apically and the hind-wing at anal angle 

 — this species is very like Philander, HopS*., and the single example 

 in the Hewitson Collection is referred with a ? to that butterfly. The 

 resemblance is chiefly on the upper side, but Producta there presents in
