NEW FOREIGN BUTTERFLIES. 379 



colour of the wings, on the surface, is bJackish- 

 brown; a vermiUon band, from two to three lines in 

 breadth, runs transversely over the superior wings, 

 continues lengthwise over the lower wings, and 

 terminates in a point before the back edge. In 

 the band of the upper wings there are, in front, 

 two indented black stripes ; a similar one runs 

 likewise along the under wings, lengthwise of the 

 band. Close to the band of the superior wings, 

 after a narrow brown space, follows a blueish 

 white transverse band, consisting of five longisli 

 s])ots, of which the two hind ones have an inden- 

 ture outwards. Besides these, there is at some 

 distance from the exterior edge of all the wings, 

 a row of small white spots, which become gradually 

 narrower and more obscure on the lower wing-s. 

 Of the under side, it is only to be observed that 

 all the dark colours of the surface are much paler, 

 particidarly the red band of the under wings, is 

 almost uniform in colour with the whole wing; 

 there is, however, in the middle of it, a small 

 brownish spot. The body at the top is brown, 

 the bottom grey ; the feelers are brown with 

 yellow clubs.
