 larum septem nigrarum albo cinctarum apud marginem posticum. 

 PosticcB apud basim macula una, fascia irregulari punctorum nigro -

 pallide cinereum.

 Allied to Lyccena lolas, Ochsenlieimer (Europe), differs from it 

 above, in the male having a broad marginal black band to the 

 wings, and the female being entirely black brown; below, in 

 having no marginal spots, and the submarginal band of spots in 

 the front wings being regular. Hind wings with no spots within 

 the cell. 



In markings it more closely resembles Lyccena Bellis, from 

 which it scarcely differs, except in its much greater size.

27. Lycjena ferrea, sp. n. 



Alse supra chalybeo-caerulese, marginibus cinereo-fuscis. 

 Alee anticce subtus cinereo-fuscse, cella fusco terminata, fascia post 

 cellam angulata fusca extus pallida post nervulum mediaaum secun- 

 dum terminante ; posticcB fusco-rufescentes, area abdominali cinereo 

 roratae, fascia pallida post cellam valde irregulari, ad costam intus 

 albo marginata. Corpus fuscum. Alar. exp. unc. 1^. 

 Note. — Our specimen of this insect has the outer margins of 

 the wings much shattered : it seems to have possessed two tails 

 to the hind wings, one at the termination of the first, and the 

 other of the second median nervule, the anal angle also being 

 obtusely produced.
