Headh\&ck. Antenna: reMh\\. T/ioraa; black, clothed thinly with 

 yellow hairs. Anterior wings acuminate, falcate, the outer margin 

 slightly sinuate below the apex, above pale bright yellow, the apex 

 marked with a black patch trisinuate internally, the middle sinus 

 deep, the others much slighter; the termination of the costal ner- 

 vure, and also of the first and second subcostal nervules, marked 

 with a small black dot ; two small black dots on the outer margin, 

 and a large rounded spot, bordered below with ferruginous, be- 

 tween the first and second median nervules, not far from their 

 origin. Posterior wings rounded, pale, bright yellow, the termi- 

 nations of the nervules marked with a small black dot. Below 

 all the wings paler than above, sprinkled with small ferruginous 

 atoms, the discocellular nervule of both wings marked with a 

 geminate ferruginous spot, bepupilled with silver ; the anterior 

 wings marked with a silvery cloud, from which a faint ferruginous 

 line runs across the wings nearly to the anal angle, touching a 

 spot in place of the rounded spot of the upper surface, but of a 

 paler colour. Legs nearly white. 



This species may be known from Gonepteryx Verhuellii by its 

 rounded posterior wings, and from Gon. Lycorias by the large 

 spot of the anterior wings and other characters.
