From Brazil. — Its length is three inches four 

 lines from wing's end to wing's end. The colour 

 of the wings and body is a dark green glossy brown; 

 the under wings become quite black towards the 

 margin. Three lines distant from the exterior edge 

 of the upper wings runs parallel with it a yellowish 

 white, quite straight band, scarcely half a line in 

 breadth, which increases a little in breadth towards 

 the back edge of the wing, and is very plain on 

 the disks of both wings. A similar band of the 

 same colour extends also over the under wings, 

 likewise running parallel with the exterior edge, 

 but distant from it about six lines; it becomes 

 broader in the middle, and thus extended, terminates 

 at the innermost tendon. This band is equally 

 strongly marked on both sides. Opposite to each 

 scallop of the under wings is a vermilion transverse 

 spot (not unlike a wine-glass) ; a similar one stands 

 on the back angle, so that there are in all eight 

 patches. Tliese red spots are particularly visible
