Imago. — Male. Upperside blackish-brown. Both wings with a faintly-defined 

 darker black submargiual sinuous fascia. Forewing crossed by a discal series of 

 irregular-shaped pale olivescent-yellow spots, and a very small subapical spot ; the 

 spots disposed as iu B. Teutoides, but smaller in size, those between the medians being 

 more rounded, the one below the median narrower. Hiiidiving with a similar discal 

 olivescent-yellow macular band, narrower than in Teutoides, which is more uneven on 

 its inner edge, and less sinuous on its outer edge. Underside pale purpurescent- 

 brownish-grey. Forewing with the discal area suffused pale brown. Both wings 

 with submarginal series of black short streaks, transverse discal series of pale 

 olivescent-yellow spots, which are much smaller (being about half the size of those 

 of the upperside), and all sharply-defined with brown on their outer edge, and also 

 showing the outer portion of those of the upperside by a pale semi-diaphanous 

 sinus. Cell marks as in Teutoides ^ 



Female. " Differs from the same sex of Teuta in its smaller size. Upperside 

 paler. Forewing with the discal macular white band reduced to five decreasing 

 triangular spots, of which the largest is beneath the subcostal nervure. Tbe two 

 subapical spots obsolete, and the submarginal diffused black spots very small. 

 Hindwitig with no trace whatever of the broad white band present in Teuta, the 

 submarginal black dentated band reduced to a fine dentated line with the diffused 

 obsolescent whitish spots above and below it in each interspace. Underside. 

 Foreiving with the same differences as above. Eirnhving with a small white spot 

 on the middle of the costa below the costal nervure, followed by five discal small 

 indistinct blackish spots, one in each interspace, with a white linear mark in con- 

 tinuation from the middle of the submedian interspace of the inner margin, and the 

 dentate lines of the upperside obsolescent, being represented by an obscure diffused 

 dentate mark on the middle of each interspace." 



Expanse, 3 2^o, ? 3^, inches.
