From Manilla — This species is exactly of the 

 size of the H. Lisander (Herbst, tab. 195. 

 fig. 4, 5.) with which and with BalduSy F. it has 

 great resemblance. The colour of the wings at 

 the top is brown, with a faint lustre of olive-green ; 

 the superior ones have on the usual place a large 

 black eye, with a yellow iris and two small steel- 

 coloured pupils. The lower wings have in the 

 middle of the exterior edge, two eyes, half as 

 large, and with only a single pupil. The exterior 

 edge of both wings is darker. Beneath, the 

 colour of the wings is whitish ; the external border^ 

 however, as well as two narrow transverse stripes, 

 innumerable small sti'eaks, the rings round the 

 yellow iris, and the front edge of the superior wings, 

 are brown. The body brown, beneath whitish ; 

 feelers black with white rings; at the end brownish 

 red. This butterfly has besides two longish trans- 

 parent bladders at the roots of tlie superior wings, 

 particularly beneath, whicii are extended tracheae 

 and facilitate its flight.
