tional, sub-marginal row of six black spots, of which the 

 upper three are filled with glittering-brassy; 1st spot of 

 transverse row, two small additional spots on costa, spot 

 closing cell, and two additional spots in cell, also marked 

 with dense glittering-brassy scaling ; an additional 

 blackish spot before middle, just below median nervure; 

 an indistinct hind-marginal row of small whitish lunules, 

 commencing with that at apex. Hind-ving : the follow- 

 ing glittering-brassy, brownish-edged spots, viz. three in 

 cell — 1st (minute) at base, the 2nd (larger) midway, the 

 3rd (large) at extremity ; two near base — one just below 

 costal, the other just below median nervule ; nine form- 

 ing a regular sub-marginal row — the 3rd and 4th con- 

 spicuously clouded with dark-brown ; a discal, rather 

 irregular row of nine whitish-gray spots, of which the 

 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th are more or less marked with 

 brassy scales ; several quadrate whitish marks interspersed 

 between the brassy spots ; hind-marginal lunules as in 

 fore-wing, that next anal angle largest, inwardly edged 

 with dark brown. 



The only specimen I have seen is, I believe, a ? , but 

 the abdomen having unfortunately been devoured by 

 insects on the voyage to England, I cannot be certain 

 as to the sex. The species is allied to Z. Zcuxo, Linn., but 

 is readily distinguished both from that species and from 

 Z. Ghrysaor, mihi, by the hind-wings being sjwtless above, 

 and metallic-spotted beneath, as well as by the broad, 

 chequered cilia. 



This beautiful Zeritis formed one of an interesting col- 

 lection made by Mr. and Mrs. Muskett, at Murraysburg, 

 and kindly presented to me by them in July, 18G4.

^ . Metallic golden-red, with narrow hind-marginal blach 

 borders. Fore-wing : base slightly blackish ; costa nar- 

 rowly black to beyond middle, where the edging widens 

 to join hind-marginal black border, which is broadest at 

 apex, and the inner edge of which is irregularly dentated 

 with red on median nervules ; a narrow black spot at 

 extremity of cell ; sometimes an indistinct smaller spot 

 in cell ; usually from one to four small spots indicative 

 of a discal transverse row. Hind-vdng : base and costa
