30 DIUENAL LEPIDOPTERA. 



Anterior wing from the band (forming part of it) to the outer margin brown. Posterior wing 

 with a round spot of brown near the base of the costal margin (forming a hollow on the upper 

 side of the wing) ; clouded with brown beyond the band : the caudal spot and lobe and a small 

 spot between them black, slightly dotted with blue. 



Exp. 1-j^j inch. 



In the Hope Collection of the Oxford University Museum, from Sierra Leone. 



The figure of this species was made from a very imperfect specimen, kindly lent me by 

 Professor Westwood, from the Hope Collection. It has a large white spot on each of the 

 anterior wings, which I have not mentioned in the description because these spots appear to 

 have been produced by having all the blue scales rubbed off. It has a similar tuft of hair on 

 the anterior wing, and cup-like hollow to meet it on the posterior wing, which I have men- 

 tioned in M. Amrita. The spot which I have indicated on the underside of the posterior wing, 

 representing the convex side of the said hollow, would not be visible, I think, unless the white 

 scales were rubbed off. It would, if perfect, have three tails.

The plate containing the male of this species was completed previous to the publication of 

 Dr. Boisduval' s name : since then, his kindness has enabled me to add an illustration of the 

 female.
