NEW FOREIGN BUTTERFLIES. o70 



It has also a narrow rino; round the neck, of a 

 purple colour. The last great horny joint of the 

 body, by which the males, among the knights, may 

 always be exactly distinguished, is of a white 

 colour ; while, on the other hand, the very small 

 last joint of the female is covered with black hair. 

 None of the many males and females which I have 

 seen, had, on the surface of the body, (the roots of 

 the wings,) such red spots as are described and 

 drawn by Jablonsky. 



I also caught a variety of the female, which, 

 besides its inconsiderable size, was distinguished 

 by the marking of the lower wings, where the ful- 

 vous colour was confined to only a large spot in 

 the middle, as in Pap. Helena, L. the orange colour. 

 On the under side, a yellow point is in the broad 

 black border, at each tendon. The red band 

 round the neck is in this one also remarkably 

 broad.

From Manilla. — This butterfly, with respect to 

 its size and marks, has the greatest resemblance 

 to the Fap. Panwiofiy F., so that I at first hesi- 

 tated to consider it as a peculiar species, particu- 

 larly as a variety is mentioned with untailed wings. 

 I have seen . seven specimens of this butterfly.
