32 ON THE GENUS CHARAGIA OF WALKER, 



Inferior wings, lustrous bluish white. 

 Thorax green ; head, collar, and tufts on thorax 

 silvery. Ahdomen bluish white, with an oblong green 

 stripe towards the extremity. 



Female length of wings 33 lines : of body 20 lines. 



Superior ivings, the centre occupied by a large tri- 

 angular shaped patch of vivid light satin green, deep- 

 ening exteriorly, whose lower angle reaches the 

 margin of the inner border, and whose basal portion 

 immediately under the costa, bears three distinct 

 notches. The apical angle to about half of the 

 exterior margin also displays a broad mark of the 

 same intense green possessing a deep indentation on 

 the inner side. With the exception of a distinct spot 

 of green near the outer angle and two others adjoining 

 the base, the remaining portions of the wing are of a 

 deep rich purple. 



Inferior ivings, pale purplish red, becoming darker 

 towards the hind angle. 



Head and thorax, reddish brown ; ahdomen, pale pur- 

 plish red, deepening towards the extremity. 



Larva is much larger, but in other respects similar to that 



of the Gh : Ugnivora, and these two species occupy 

 in common the plants before enumerated. 

 We may remark that subsequent to the foregoing descriptions, 



much larger and finer specimens have been obtained.

Male length of wings 51 lines : of body 27 lines.

 black-brown, sparingly disposed along the costa and in 

 an oblique transverse row a little beyond the middle. 

 Three small marginal lunules near the outer angle, 

 two small oval spots on the discoidal cell, a dental 

 marking towards the base of interior margin, and 

 between these two latter, a much curved irregular 

 line, — all of silver.
