and the spot nearest the inner margin grey. Between the hand and tlie hind 

 margin is a rather irregiilar row of yellow spots, extending from the costa 

 almost to the inner margin. Towards the costa the spots are wide apart, hut 

 towards the inner margin they are duller-coloiu'cd, and partially connected into 

 an irregular festooned liand hetween the nervures. Incisions grey. 



Underside similar. Posterior wings with the last spot yellower, and the 

 outer series of yellow spots and markings larger, yellower, and on the lower half 

 of the wing more connected, so as to give the appearance of a wide yellow hand 

 with a series of oval and mostly connected black spots on its outer side. 



Body l)lack, collar red, sides of the thorax very distinctly marked with vod 

 helow the wings, abdomen reddish on the sides (and perhaps wholly red al)ove 

 in fresh specimens), its undersurface with the sides bordered with golden-yellow ; 

 the hinder segments broadly bordered with yellow behind ; and the sul)torminaI 

 segment intersected by a yellow stripe.

Most Dt'iirly allied to 0. Barsiug. Gray, from Ceylon, but in 0. Riechll the yellow baud is 

 deep goldeu-yellow, not light yellow, aud much broader, especially in the male, while in the female 

 tlie submarginal markings on the hind wings are much more scanty and ill-detined, besides 

 numerous other differences in contour and coloration. 



The male of this species has been figured before, but on a much reduced scale ; we therefore 

 do ni.it hesitate to commence our second volume with fiill-size figures of both sexes of this scarce 

 and handsome l)utterflv.
