(18G7). 



One female. 



The description of tliis species is difficult to follow, the 

 character of the bands of the secondaries below bein^^- ill- 

 expressed; but, so tar as I can make out, the above example 

 seems to be Felder's species. The hind wings below are 

 white with four bands : — the first three crossing the wing, fer- 

 ruginous, with metallic green borders, the third band very 

 irregular and blotched witii black ; the fourth band marginal, 

 orange, intersected bv a metallic green line.

 ously in the collection.
