4 Mr. Butler's Descriptions of 



GENUS MORPHO. Fabricius. 

 MorpTio Luna, sp. nov. 



Alae supra sericeo-alba3 viresceutes, fusco maculatce et 

 fasciolatre ; subtus ocellatfB. 



Front wings above greenish white with disco-cellular 

 waved streak, costal nervure and apex brown, the apex 

 interrupted by three ill-defined whitish spots, the markings 

 of the under surface visible through the wings. 



Hindwings with eight large submarginal ovate dark 

 brown spots, that next to the anal angle, however, notched, 

 and in the form of a C ; the nervures terminated with 

 dark brown ; markings of the under surface distinctly 

 visible ; body white, thorax brownish, antennae black. 



Frontwings below with costal nervures, a transverse 

 waved and tapering medio-discoidal brown band, and a 

 second similarly waved but white centred disco-cellular 

 band ; three distinct black ocelli pupillated with white but 

 without irides, the uppermost remote from the others and 

 very small. 



Hindwings with five black discal ocelli pupillated with 

 white and with yellow irides, the first, third, and fourth, 

 large ; two interrupted black sub-anal lines : body white, 

 the centre of the thorax ochraceous ; antennae black : 

 expands 6 inches, 8 lines.

 et strigatae. 



Wings above almost exactly as in C. Cynthia. 



Frontwings below with costa silvery, the basal area 

 enclosing four discoidal and four discal blackish spots 

 encircled with silver, terminated by a broad oblique silver 

 band traversing the wing from the inner margin, and 

 terminating in a wide fork upon the costa ; anal angle 

 varied with fulvous ; a decreasing series of seven or eight 

 semi-connected submarginal black spots bounded out- 

 wardly by a plumbeous line. 



Hindwings, base streaked with silver bands enclosing
