Upper Side. Thorax and abdomen nearly black. Anterior wings of a light liver colour, having 

 some faint lines a little waved, of a darker colour, running along the external edges. Each has an 

 orange spot, situated at a small distance from the tip, and joining to the anterior margin. Posterior 

 wings dentated, and angular at the anal angle, of the same cf)lour as the anterior; with the same 

 faint waved subapical lines. In tlie middle of the anterior wings arises a bar of a very pale brimstone 

 colour, near a quarter of an inch broad, and which extends to the anal angle of the posterior wings, 

 below which is an orange spot. 



Uiic/e7' Side. All the wings, next the body, are marked and clouded with lines and marks of ash 

 colour anfl olive brown. The pale brimstone bar is seen very rhstinctly on this side ; and the two orange 

 spots on the upper side of the anterior wings, hei-e assume a tinge of flesh colour, separated in the 

 middle by the tendon, which is of an orange cast. The faint waved lines also are very conspicuous, of a 

 very dark flesh colour, shaded with brown.

Upper Side. The thorax and abdomen black, and furnished with grayish hair. The ground of all the 

 wings is black ; but towards the body inclines to copper. On the anterior wings, near the tips, is a white 

 spot placed close to the anterior edge. This edge is narrowly bordered with blue, and dappled with little 

 wave-like stripes of black ; from whose middle an oblique blue spot, almost half an inch long, extends 

 down the wings. A little below this, arises a light blue bar of lunules, which runs even with the 

 external edge, and is continued transversely across the posterior wing, excluding the anal angle. On 

 this blue bar, in the posterior wings, are placed six small black angular spots. Beneath these is a
