''Giant Azure Blue (Admiral?). Very rarely met with, 

 and almost impossible to take unless when indulging its foul

 open forest" {R. C).

8. Panopea heliogeneSj sp. n. 



The largest species of the P. Jucretia group hitherto 

 received : in form nearest to P. protracta^ in pattern nearer to 

 P. expansa, but the arched belt across the centre of the 

 primaries narrower, more nearly approaching that of P. co)no- 

 rann ; this and the subapical macular band pale buff, but the 

 submarginal spots on all the wings nearly pure white ; the 

 patch at centre of inner margin of primaries and the whole 

 central area of secondaries buff, washed with deep ochreous ; 

 the veins crossing the ochreous area partly white and partly 

 black : body black, boldly spotted with snow-white ; under 

 surface very similar to P. protracta^ but altogether yellower. 



Expanse of wings 90 millim.
