‘Above black, primaries with an oblique iridescent blue band and a 
subapical white spot. Beneath, primaries at base pale, middle bright 
red, followed by a broad black shade, apex white : secondaries white or 
greyish, with a marginal red band, a basal black line and a large oval 
formed by.a fine black line and On ieee two smaller ovals formed in

The species of this genus are easily distinguished by the wing form, 
in addition to the characters mentioned in the synopsis. The primaries 
are broad the apex is produced. margin more or less emarginate beneath 
and somewhate angulate or scolloped ; secondaries with two tails, the 
outer long and slender, the inner formed by a prolongation of the anal 
angle, shorter and broader. In these characters all our species agree, 
but in coloration and in some details of wing form they fall into two very 
- distinct sections as follows. 
Above smoky or fuliginous, beucads with base silvery white, inner tail of secondaries

_ The silvery space beneath has three fine brown lines and is margin- 
ed with velvety brown outwardly ; the outward brownish space has a fine 
purplish gloss. In this as the next species the apices of primaries are 
produced and rounded.
