WEAVER'S FBITILLAEY. 105 



line, which is again succeeded by another line, through both of which 

 a series of oblong marks cross to the margin, which is yellowish white. 

 The hinder wings are also reddish brown, the base being nearly black, 

 and the marks disposed much in the same way as on the fore wings, 

 except that the inner line is waved from each cross mark to the other. 



Underneath, the fore wings shew the central dark marks through, 

 and a few of the others; the upper corner and part of the outer 

 edge is paler than the rest. The hind wings are of a brownish purple 

 colour, relieved with darker markings of the same; there are six or 

 seven small silvery spots, intermingled with minute yellowish dots, at 

 the base, a broad irregular band of the same nearly across the wings, 

 then a jjurple white streak, in which is a series of circular spots, 

 indistinctly eyed, and the margins also silver in indentations. 



The caterpillar is described as being black, with the spines white 

 and reddish, the back greyish, with a line along it. 



The plate is taken from Mr. Westwood's figures.
