have two largish anal yellow spots, the inner one with an internal 

 black terminal spot ; a short tail at the end of vein 2. Underside, 

 both wings dull brownish grey, rather darker in the secondaries 

 with brown spots encircled with white. Primaries v/ith the usual 

 spot at the end of the cell ; the postmcdian row consisting of four 

 spots below each other followed by two spots shifted well inwards; 

 a, submarginal roAV of broadish inteinervular dashes followed by 

 n, terminal row of spots. Secondaries with four subbasal white- 

 ringed black spots, with a fifth halfway along the costa, below which 

 is the dash closing the cell ; the postmedian series consists of four 

 spots in a deep curve, the uppermost being isolated, and the lower- 

 most being followed by two spots shifted well inwards that lie 

 below each other; a submarginal series of narrow lunules broadly 

 edged with white internally; a marginal series of spots broadly 

 edged with white internally; two anal orange spots with two black 

 spots on their external edge, the anal one being a small twin one, 

 a little metallic scaling on the larger black spot. 

 Expanse, 38 mm.

Type, unique, in the British Museum. 



I admit this with some doubt; palricia is a variable 

 species, especially as to the form of the postmedian series 

 of spots, and this insect seems to me to be an aberration of 

 Trimen's species, but as the type is unique it is not possible 

 to decide the question definitely; but the androconia are 

 certainly different, whilst the genitalia are also slighter 

 in general bmld.

(J. Upperside, both wings pale violet sublustrous blue with dark 

 marks closing the cells. Primaries with a row of more or less 

 semispherical internervular terminal brown spots preceded by a 

 submarginal series of internervular brown lunules. Secondaries 

 with similar terminal and submarginal pattern to that in the pri- 

 maries, but more pronounced ; a subanal black marginal spot with 

 orange internal edging. Underside, both wings greyish white with
