It is very interesting to observe here that although in some of the species of Apatura both of the 

 sexes have the orange colouring of Heterochroa, in this species the brilliant blue of the male, and the 

 orange colouring of the female, are brought together to form the same beautiful contrast and harmony so 

 remarkable in the sexes of Morpho Cypris. 



APATURA ZANOA. 7, 8. 



Upperside. Male, dark brown, the fringe marked by lunules of white. 

 Anterior wing with a large space of brilliant blue on the inner margin marked by 

 four or five lilac spots, which are again marked with white : three small white spots 

 before the apex. Posterior wing with a tuft of white hair near the middle, a white 

 spot on the costal margin, an orange spot at the anal angle, and some very slight linear 

 white spots near the outer margin. 



Underside white, tinted with lilac near the inner margin of the anterior wing : 

 both wings with the outer margin broadly rufous. Anterior wing with four small 

 black spots in the cell, two larger black spots below these between the median nervules, 

 three lunular spots of white, a spot of the same colour at the anal angle crossed, 

 together with one of the said lunular spots, by a linear black spot. Posterior wing

This is very probably only a remarkable variety of A. Namouna, such as they designate as '"an 

 aberration " on the Continent.
