From Woahoo, one of the Sandwich islands. — 

 This butterfly has much resemblance to the 

 Van, Atlanta, L., but particularly to the Atlanta 

 indtca (which is much distinguished as a peculiar 

 kind.) This one, however, of' the Sandwich 

 islands, exceeds both considerably (a fourth part) 

 in size ; tlie wings are of a brown colour on the 

 upper side, from the roots to the vermilion bands. 

 Tlie band of the upper wings is three lines broad, 

 has a longish black spot; nearly on the front edge, 

 towards the back edge of the wing, on the interior 

 edge of the band is a large round black spot ; the 

 space, also, between the two spots where the first 

 branch diverges from the large middle tendon is 

 black. In the black space, between the band 

 and the tip of the wing, there are three white 

 spots, of which the largest long one is on the front 

 edge, nearer to the band ; the smallest likewise on 

 the front edge, but nearer the tip, and the third 

 spot, of a kidney sliape, is nearly in the middle. 

 The band of the lower wings lies a line and a 

 half from the exterior black edge, and extends 

 over four membranes, namely, over the third to 

 the sixtli. The spots of the intervals, nearest to 

 the internal edge, are only half as long as the two 

 others, and are each marked with a large black 

 patch ; the third longest spot has also a dot, 

 though very small. At the edge of the third
