The species figured by Swainson and Duncan is quite

 The specimens before me are identical with both figures 

 above quoted.

^^aIe. — Primaries deep black, crossed by two pale yellow

 almost to the inner margin, but not quite reaching it, beyond 

 which a narrow semihyaline band partly crosses the wing 

 near the apex ; a submarginal row of seven white spots extends 

 from the apex to the anal angle : secondaries semihyaline 

 from the base to about the middle ; the outer half of the wing 

 deep black, with a marginal row of large white spots ex-
