  marginal 
  metallic 
  stripe, 
  slightly 
  cixt 
  by 
  the 
  nervures, 
  the 
  uppermost 
  section 
  

   being 
  detached 
  ; 
  ontside 
  this, 
  the 
  wing 
  is 
  lighter 
  brown 
  ; 
  fringes 
  white, 
  spotted 
  

   with 
  brown 
  on 
  the 
  nervures 
  ; 
  scarcely 
  marked 
  with 
  white 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings. 
  

   On 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  is 
  a 
  broad 
  metallic-greenish 
  stripe, 
  from 
  which 
  two 
  more 
  

   proceed, 
  which 
  unite 
  before 
  reaching 
  the 
  submarginal 
  stripe 
  ; 
  tlie 
  lower 
  one 
  is 
  

   edged 
  with 
  blue 
  internally. 
  About 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  stripe 
  it 
  throws 
  off 
  

   a 
  narrower 
  branch 
  towards 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  wing 
  ; 
  and 
  above 
  the 
  point 
  where 
  the 
  

   two 
  broad 
  Imnds 
  unite 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  metallic 
  spot 
  between 
  the 
  subcostal 
  nervules. 
  

  

  Body

  Antennas 
  black, 
  

   slightly 
  banded 
  with

  beneath 
  ; 
  orbits, 
  palpi 
  beneath 
  some 
  oblique 
  bands 
  

   on 
  the 
  pectus, 
  and 
  a 
  broad 
  band 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  tibife, 
  white 
  ;

  One 
  specimen 
  only. 
  It 
  somewhat 
  resembles 
  U. 
  Doleschallii 
  Feld.

  , 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  without 
  the 
  

   blue 
  suffusion 
  on 
  the 
  iipperside 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  underside 
  the 
  metallic 
  bands 
  

   and 
  markings 
  on 
  both 
  wings 
  arc 
  much 
  broader 
  and 
  more 
  conspicuous. 
  " 
  It 
  is 
  not 
  improbable 
  that 
  

   it 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  $ 
  of 
  H. 
  Theophanes, 
  but 
  there 
  are 
  several 
  differences, 
  which 
  have 
  led 
  me 
  to 
  consider 
  

   it 
  a 
  distinct 
  species."
