Exp. 2-| inches. 



Female. Upperside black. Anterior wings with a yohow line running 

 from the base above the subcostal nervure to a broad yellow patch, covering 

 both sides of the cell from the costal nervure to the middle median nervule. 

 The intersecting nervures are narrowly dark, and there is a large, nearly 

 square spot at the end of the cell, in the middle of the yellow patch. On 

 its outer side the patch is triangularly and rather deeply indented near both 

 its upper and lower extremity. On the inner margin is a red stripe from 

 the base running for three-quarters of the length of the wing, and intersected by 

 the submedian nervure, and a short black line above it. Posterior wings 

 with a narrow red stripe on the costa, paler at both ends, and a red band, 

 broken into spots by the median nervure and its branches, running from the 

 basal half of the inner margin, and extending over the lower part of the 

 cell. The last spot, which is more widely separated, and much nearer tlie 

 hind margin than the others, is red and yellow, and situated above the upper 

 median nervule. 



Underside similar, but paler ; posterior wings with the red markmgs 

 suffused, and a row of white submarginal spots between the nervures. 



Body black above, orbits and head beneath white, antennte white beneath 

 as far as the club, but more or less ringed with black ; legs streaked with 

 white ; pectus white behind, and with two large white spots on each side ; 

 abdomen dull yellow beneath. 



Hab. not known. 



In the Collection of Mr. H. Grose-Smith. 



Not closely allied to any known species of Disiuorphin. but somewhat resembles Heliconius 

 Yicinus, Menetries, and other similarly-marked Helicouii in its markings.
