From Brazil. — This butterfly has great simi- 

 larity with the /. Et^eshiius, with respect to size 

 and marking ; in the latter respect, also, with 

 J. Berenice. Its colour is reddish brown ; the 

 front and exterior edge of all the wings is bor- 

 dered black ; particularly broad on the lower 

 wings. On the same there is, as usual, a double 

 row of white dots, of which those of the outer row 

 vanish on the tip of the superior wings ; also, 

 towards the back angle a spot is wanting in each 

 row. On the front edge of the upper wings are 

 three ; then again three others, close to these two ; 

 and, lastly, along the external border, four larger 

 milk-white spots. In the front part of the under- 

 wings there are four white spots. On the under 

 side the wings are marked the same as on the 

 upper, only the double row of larger dots is here 

 interrupted. The lower wings have here a some- 

 what lighter colour ; all the veins are black, some 

 of them are edged with a narrow white margin, as 

 the middle points of the upper side are here longer, 

 and follow the veins for a little way. Head, 

 scutcheon, thorax, feelers, and palpi are black j 

 head, shoulders, and thorax have white spots. 

 The colour of the abdomen is dark brown under- 

 neath, with a white line lengthwise.
