 black. The upper wings have, towards the ex- 

 terior edge, only faint streaks, of greenish-grey 

 scales, which are, however, marked stronger on 

 the under side. The hinder half of the inferior 

 wings, with the exception of the border, is tliickly 

 covered with greenish-grey scales ; it is divided 

 into several parts, by the broad black veins. In 

 the back angle there is a very indistinct, narrow, 

 red semi-circle. The upper as well as the lower 

 wings on the under superficies have as much 

 red at the root, as the preceding butterfly. The 

 lower wings are furnished with many variously 

 sha})ed red spots, oi which some form perfect 

 rings, others indicate this form in simple spots. 

 In the back angle there, is a long patch, which 

 runs up and down, along the first vein to a point, 

 and incloses in the middle a heart-shaped black 

 spot. Above this spot, some sky-blue scales shine 

 on a red ground. The second space is quite red 

 from the middle to the edge, but leaves open two 

 black spots, lying one above the other, of which 

 the upper one is larger and cornered, the under 

 almost round. The spot of the third space forms
