Allied to L. ApoUom'a, but differing from the female of that 

 species in having a scarlet band in the front wings, and the 

 basal spots below without any lilacine reflection. This species 

 can scarcely be the female of L. Lyra, as the scarlet band 

 only reaches the outer margin just above the second median 

 branch, and is not diffused outwardly towards the apex.
