  This 
  butterfly 
  having 
  been 
  recently 
  described 
  by 
  Mr. 
  H. 
  H. 
  Druce, 
  it 
  

   seems 
  scarcely 
  necessary 
  to 
  re-describe 
  it, 
  the 
  figures 
  supplied 
  in 
  this 
  work 
  

   supplementing 
  his 
  description. 
  The 
  specimen 
  of 
  the 
  male 
  here 
  figured 
  seems 
  

   to 
  be 
  smaller, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  female 
  rather 
  larger 
  than 
  Mr. 
  Druce's 
  specimens.
