milion spots; the first is broad, nearly liimile at 

 the abdominal corner ; the three others consist each 

 of two conical patches, united at the basis, the 

 points of" which are turned towards the margin ; 

 they occupy the three scallops following the back 

 angle, and always lie between two tendons. In 

 the other scallops, some red dots are observed as 

 an indication of these spots. In the hollows of 

 the scallops, you see, as usual, white scales. The 

 winged tail is half an inch long. Beneath, the 

 wings have a brown silky lustre ; the upper wings 

 have, quite at the root, a spot, and a short 

 brown streak under the former, of a vermilion 

 colour. The square white spot is also here. At 

 the root of the inferior wings, we also meet, under- 

 neath, with three red spots ; from the lowest of 

 them, a long red stripe extends to the abdominal 

 corner ; it is a line distant from the inner edge. 

 The four red spots described on the surface of tlie 

 under-wings are also found beneath, of the same 

 form, but almost of a rose-colour ; the three other 

 scallops are here furnished with red spots, divided 

 into two parts, which are, however, a little more 

 obscure than the four others. The tail, on the 

 under side, has also a red stripe. The feelers, legs, 

 and upper side of the body have a black colour ; 

 underneath, the body is brown. The edges of the 

 single joints of the feelers project so much, tliat 

 they seem to be annulated. My specimen is a 

 female.
