530 PROF. J. O. WESTWOOD ON THE FEANlIDyE. 



apical margin of the wing is marked with two very slender pale lines, which unite 

 together about half the distance from the apical angle. The first of these lines is 

 angulated near the angle ; and the outer one is scalloped. The rich purple oval spot 

 occupying the whole of the outer angle, and a great portion of the disk of the wing, 

 terminates in a narrow flesh-coloured line extending to the anal angle, from which 

 upwards the anal margin of the wing is marked with several short, obscure, transverse 

 marks, whilst between the anal angle and the tail there are three rather laige semioval 

 black spots. 



On the underside of the Columbian specimen the fore wings are uniform brown, the 

 basal third portion as far as the vein closing the discoidal cell being luteous ; the 

 costa is narrowly luteous with three small black dots between the end of the cell and 

 the pale fascia, and six similar dots between the fascia and apical mark. A fascia of 

 clear, pale huffish white occupies the place of the band of the upperside, with both its 

 margins slightly scalloped or waved at the veins ; the apical margin is pale luteous 

 buff", dilated a little at the apex, and marked with very minute black transverse lines ; 

 this pale border vanishes between the first and second median branches. The hind 

 wings have the basal half luteous and the apical half brown, the former colour extending 

 to within two lines of the anal angle. In the Columbian specimen the pale basal 

 portion terminates in a slight curve, the middle of which is towards the base of the 

 wing ; it is not defined by a distinct paler streak ; and the longitudinal veins in the 

 middle of the wing are marked with three or four small luteo-fulvous spots on each. 

 The apical margin of the hind wings is narrowly luteous bufi" between the tail and 

 outer angle, and bears a somewhat triangular spot between the tail and anal angle. 



There is considerable difference between the two specimens in the Hopeian Collection. 

 The Columbian one is more elegant in its form, the fore wings of the Papagayan 

 individual are more ovate, and the hind wings shorter. Tlie dark central portion of 

 the fore wings is relatively very much broader in the Columbian specimen, in which the 

 costal margin of the fore wing is unspotted beyond the middle, whereas it bears four 

 pale dots in the other ; the blue patch on the hind wings is of a whiter blue in the 

 Papagayan specimen, and the pale basal portion of the hind wings terminates in a 

 narrow waved paler fascia preceded by a darker and more distinct waved line, this pale 

 fascia slightly curving outwards in the middle, whilst the pale fascia of the fore wings 

 on the underside is nearly straight and rather broader than in the other.
