In addition to the above characters, it may be noticed, that the bar 

 beyond the middle of the wings is slender, grey, outwardly edged with 

 a dusky line, and inwardly with purpHsh brown ; outside the bar is a 

 series of large, triangular,' lilac-white patches miited together, and the 

 disc of the whigs, especially towards the base, is much more irrorated 

 with lilac-puik.

 The antennae are fulvous and short ; the pectmations forming an 

 elongate ovate outline, pointed at the tip, with only thu-ty-eight 

 rays on each side, four being emitted from each joint. The rays lie 

 flat, and several of the terminal joints are destitute of rays. The 

 female antennae are 24-jointed, the pectinations forming a much nar- 

 rower oval outline than in the male ; the pectinations of the basal 

 part being short, each joint emitting four rays, of which the apical 

 pair is not above half the length of the basal ones. 



This species is well-figured in Mr. Angas's plate of Lepidoptera of 

 the Zoolu country, fig. 14.

 This species belongs to the subgenus Actias of Leach, and is allied 

 to S. Selene of India, -S. Luna of North America, S. Ms* of Java, 

 S. Cometes of Madagascar, described by M. Boisduval in his ' Fauna 

 of Madagascar,' (apparently identical with the species captured at 

 Nosse Be, on the east side of Madagascar, by M. Mittre, exhibited 

 by M. Guerin at the Entomological Society of France (see Anuales 



* This very rare species, of which M. Boisduval was acquainted with only a 

 single specimen in the collection of M. Rohyns of Brussels, will require a new 

 specific name to distinguish it from the 5. Isis of this monograph.
