tlie oval spot of the upper side, commencing on the anterior 

 margin, and continued from the base of the spot by a silvery 

 curved line running nearly parallel with the outer margin, and on 

 to the inner margin, which is broadly suffused with dull silver, 

 and with a silver-forked spot at the base and a transverse streak 

 of the same colour on the basal side of the band ; posterior wings 

 narrow, elongated and rounded at the apex ; above brownish- 

 black, with a faint white longitudinal streak on the disk ; below 

 red-brown, with a small semi-oval fold margined with silver on 

 tilt? curved side, and having on the disk of the wing a very irre- 

 gular silvery longitudinal band, commencing at a point on the 

 anterior margin, then expanding suddenly and running towards 

 the apex, and terminating in a narrow prolongation reflexed on to 

 the inner margin a little above the anal angle, and also having five 

 spots on the fringe of the outer margin and apex, and the nervures 

 on the basal side of the band white ; body black-brown.

Expansion of wings l-f^ inch. 



This species nearly resembles the preceding margarila, but 

 differs in the posterior wings being more elongated, the fold 

 narrower, and in the almost uniform colour of the upper side of 

 the former. It is a male, except which, seeing its similarity to 

 margarila, I should have made it a variety of that species.
