A very distinct species of this curious little genus. 



Genus Apatura, Fabricius. 



Apatura macae, n. s. 



Near A. Parisatis, but larger, and the anal angle less 

 produced.

 margin, which is regularly dentate, the intervals white- 

 edged ; a brown-black submarginal line, within which 

 is a row of lunulate markings, more distinct on the 

 hind-wings, which have an oval black spot, orange- 

 ringed, near the anal angle; on the anterior wing is a 

 row of five or six white points parallel to the outer 

 margin. 



Beneath : bronzy-reddish-brown, spots in the discoidal 

 cells nearly as in A. Parisatis, the median transverse 

 band pale brown, the anal and submarginal spots as 

 above, but the third and sixth white points are enclosed 

 in black spots, the latter the largest. 



Female. Dark brown, the outer half paler, more or 

 less tinged with rusty-orange ; an irregular band of 

 white spots well-defined on the inner edge, begins about 

 the middle of the costa at the subcostal vein, and form- 

 ing a broken curve on the anterior wings, passes in a 

 straight line to about the middle of the abdominal mar- 

 gin; the other spots and markings are the same as on 

 the underside of the male. 



Beneath, nearly as above, but paler.
