372 APPENDIX. 



here also almost the same form, with the exception 

 that the fifth innermost division of it is divided by 

 a red stripe, extending from the spot in tlie back 

 ande; on the other hand, a round white spot is 

 found in the fifth division. The red colour is here 

 richly distributed. A small part of the wing's base 

 is quite vermilion, and is divided by black veins 

 into five parts. The spot in the back angle, de- 

 scribed in the upper surface, extends almost to 

 those at the basis, and in the same manner the 

 spot in the hindermost angle fills up almost the 

 whole space; a similar one is in the third division, at 

 the border. The spots on the three following 

 scallops are smaller; the last is hook-shaped. In the 

 uppermost space there is a large spot, pretty 

 narrow at the begininng, running along a great 

 extent of the edge, but which then turns inwards 

 and increases considerably in breadth, so tiiat it 

 reaches to the next vein. In this broad part you 

 observe a large number of sky-blue scales. There 

 is, besides, in the middle of the wing, opposite to 

 the broader end of that last described, a scalloped, 

 not large spot, which is half red, half white. The 

 body, feelers, and legs, are black; the thorax has 

 three transverse rows of white points. This last 

 circumstance, as well as the wings being red at 

 the basis, and the white radii on the upper wings, 

 could almost persuade me to take this butterfly 

 for a Trojan knight. My specimen is a female.
