Tliis handsome sj)ocies may at once be distinguished iVom 

 A', cd'lestis cJ by its superior size and the curious scaly 

 whitish patch on the inner margin of the anterior wings on 

 the upperside ; ladow it chiefly (lilhrs in the redder colour of 

 the transverse bands and the small size of the ocelli. It is the 

 tenth described species of a little group of nearly allied and 

 very beautiful forms, K. liri.riola (which belongs to this sec- 

 tion) being possibly identical with E. Brixius.
