EUSEMIA MACULATRIX. 

 PLATE II. Fig. 3. 



Expansion of the wings nearly three and a half 

 inches: colour of the anterior pair intense black, 

 with some slight patches of blue scales at the base ; 

 this is succeeded by a small white triangular patch, 

 then two large suboval ones, then three placed 

 wider apart, and between these and the apex are 

 five small oval spots. Hind wings bright orange, 

 black at the base, with a black costal spot and a 

 large black discoidal one extending to the anal 

 angle, and posteriorly emitting two narrow longi- 

 tudinal bars which are connected with the very 

 broad and irregular black margin ; in the latter are 

 two white spots, that nearest the fore wings being 

 largest. The head and thorax are black, the shoul- 

 ders pale yellow; abdomen orange, with black 

 transverse stripes. In the specimen here figured, 

 the abdomen is terminated by two broad triangular 

 horny lobes, externally covered with orange-coloured 

 hairs. The sides of the thorax beneath are black, 

 with an orange-coloured stripe down the breast; 

 the belly is also orange with black spots. The legs 

 are long and black.
