bar at the end of the cell is widest on the costal margin, instead 

 of being narrowest, beyond which are five sernihyaline elon- 

 gate white spots on the disk, the uppermost and lowest of 

 which are minute ; the orange-rufous bar on the inner margin 

 is wider and more elongate. The posterior wings are orange- 

 rufous, bordered all round rather narrowly by black. 



Underside. — Anterior wings as on the upperside, except 

 that the inner marginal rufous band is represented by a pale 

 buff streak. Posterior wings black, with a triangular spot 

 near the base of the cell ; two subcostal spots on the disk, 

 another elongate spot at the end of the cell ; a broad, more 

 elongate streak near the inner margin, reaching to the base; 

 two spots above the anal angle ; an elongate bar across the 

 median nervules before the margin, and a minute subapical 

 spot, all of which are shining pale stramineous ; palpi black, 

 front of the head between the eyes orange-rufous ; thorax and 

 abdomen black in the middle, bordered by orange-rufous, with 

 stramineous rings underneath. 



Exp. of wings 1^ inch. 



Jlab. Ecuador (Buckley). 



A very remarkable insect; on the underside it is nearest to 

 S. accusatrix, Westwood. 



Lucilla aster ra. 



Male. — Upperside. Anterior wings dark shining blue, with 

 the middle of the disk crossed by a broad, oblique, suboval 

 crimson band, which extends into the outer part of the cell 

 and below the lowest median nervule. Posterior wings rather 

 paler shining blue, with seven elongata, triangular, pale 

 "•reyish-blue streaks on the disk between the veins, those in 

 the middle the most elongate and gradually becoming shorter 

 towards the apex ; the bases of these streaks do not quite 

 reach the outer margin. 



Underside dull bluish black ; the band on the anterior 

 wings is coloured orange; on the posterior wings the pale 

 blue streaks of the upperside are steel-blue, become linear, 

 and extend as far as the cell, towards the end of which is a 

 short steel-blue marking. 



Exp. of wings H inch. 



Hob. Colombia (Pratt). 



Nearest to Lucilla camissa i Hew., but quite distinct. 



Aricoris Buckle// i. 



Male. — Upperside. Both wings dark blue, except the apex 

 of the anterior and the costal margin of the posterior wings, 

 which are rather broadly black.
