The upper surface of all the wings is of a rich brown colour, 

 the incisures slightly marked with pale buff'; the tails of the 

 hind wings of moderate length, and narrow ; the fore wings have 

 a few buff scales, forming several slight patches near the extre- 

 mity of the discoidal cell, a macular fulvous fascia runs from near 

 the apical angle of the fore wings almost to the anal angle of the 

 hind ones, the spots on the hind wings being largest, and extend- 

 ing nearly to the discoidal cell, and of a richer fulvous colour ; 

 the one nearest the anal margin is narrow and curved. 



The fore wings on the under side have the macular band pale 

 buff, and a trifid pale yellow spot near the extremity of tlie discoidal 

 cell, beyond which is a subtriangular costal spot divided by the 

 adjacent nerves. The hind wings have a broad row of six silver 

 spots running across the middle, just beyond the discoidal cell, 

 the costal area with a yellow dash and a pale buff irregular spot 

 near the anal margin ; at a short distance beyond this silvery 

 fascia is a row of seven red transverse spots, four of which are 

 dilated into triangular silvery patches extending outwardly ; the 

 pale buff incisural marks are large and triangular. 



The head has two small white dots between the eyes, and the 

 neck has two rows of four small fulvous dots ; the sides of the 

 thorax beneath the wings are also spotted with fulvous, and the 

 abdomen has four longitudinal streaks of the same colour. 



This beautiful species was brought from St. Domingo by John
