beyond cell, of which the upper is minute, beyond these a curved 

 series of four spots, two large patches between upper and lower 

 median nervules, and below these two smaller patches, a yellowish 

 streak below these ; the white markings above median nervule more 

 or less edged with blackish, two black bars in basal half of cell with 

 a black spot below each outside cell, a submarginal row of blackish 

 spots. Hind wing copper-brown with the following black markings : 

 a double bar at end of cell, with minute spot above it, two rows of 

 discal lunules, the first only reaching half way across wing, a sub- 

 marginal row of spots, of which the three upper ones and that at the 

 anal angle are outwardly widely bordered with scarlet, three brownish 

 white discal patches from costa to lower discocellular nervule ; a 

 coppery green patch at anal angle. 



Under side. Fore wing yellowish brown paler at anal angle, 

 white markings as above, two black bars at end of, and two crossing 

 middle of, cell, each scarlet patches, a black spot near base of cell, 

 and another below base of lower median nervule ; submarginal black 

 markings as above. Hind wing yellowish brown, inner margin and 

 anal angle greenish, discal and submarginal markings as above but 

 smaller, base of costa scarlet, a black bar on precostal nervule ; 

 cellular black and scarlet markings as in fore wing but smaller, two 

 irregular twin black markings above cell, each enclosing a scarlet 

 spot, a black line between discocellulars. 



This species belongs to the lubentina group, but may be 

 distinguished by the discal patches of hind wing above, being 

 brownish white instead of red. It is an exceedingly rare species, ( 

 the female here described being the only specimen I know.

Swarms of C. iphis in perfect condition fluttered amongst the 

 grass, and G. pamphilus was nearly as plentiful. Hundreds of 

 gloriously fresh Issoria lathonia flew amongst the juniper bushes, 

 both sexes being equally common ; a few odd specimens of 

 M. trivia occurred at the beginning of the wood, but it is a local 

 butterfly, and not until we had penetrated for nearly a mile into 

 the middle of the forest did we find the headquarters of this 

 pretty little species, and then in several places it was very 

 common, and evidently only very recently emerged. Trivia is a 

 somewhat difficult insect to catch on the wing, its flight is very 

 quick and rather erratic, but no sooner had we reached the spot 

 where it was common than the sun became overcast by clouds, 

 and the butterflies at once ceased flying, and settled down in 

 twos and threes on grasses and flower-heads, and I was then 

 able to take easily a nice series of perfect specimens. I was told
