This is a rather larger Butterfly than H, glaiicippe^ measuring 

 more than four inches across the wings. The fore-wings are 

 of a deep red colour, clouded with greenish-yellow at the base, 

 and with the nervures and margins black ; the female has a 

 detached row of red sub-marginal spots. The hind-wings are 

 citron-yellow, with a dentated or macular black border in the 

 female, usually preceded by a curved row of black spots ; but 

 in the male, the hind-wings are only marked with one or two 

 sub-marginal spots towards the costa. The under side is deep 

 fulvous in both sexes, sprinkled with black points, and marked 

 with short transverse dusky lines, most numerous in the female. 

 The head and thorax are brown, the abdomen yellow. The 

 antennae are black, tipped with reddish. 



Although this Butterfly has been well known to entomolo- 

 gists for more than a century, it is still rather sea ce in collec- 

 tions.
