Under Sich. Palpi, legs, breast, and abdomen grey. Anterior wings, next the body, grey; the re- 

 maining parts being dusky olive, with some dark red streaks placed on various parts; the white spots being 

 very distinct on this side. Posterior wings, at the base, light grey ; extending almost to the row of white 

 spots, which are seen on this side as well as on the upper. The remaining parts are dusky olive, with 

 two rows of faint dark red spots running along the external edges. A range of small black spots runs 

 parallel with the external edges of all the wings. All the wings are dentated. 



There is a diversity of opinion amongst the German and English Lepidopterists, relative 

 to the names of this species and the English White Admiral, to which latter Haworth, 

 Stephens, &c. give the name of Camilla, but which Illiger, Hubner, &c. term Sibilla. 

 I have adopted the former nomenclature, although it will be seen that the figure of Drury, 

 which is the Sibilla of the English nomenclature, exhibits a red spot at the anal angle, 

 which Curtis considers as the most satisfactory mark of distinction between the two 

 species. (Brit. Ent. p. 1'24.)
