AMBLTPODIA GEOTJP OP THE LYCLEMD^. 13 



velvety-black, while above these the other four are red, the central three being the 

 smallest ; all are entirely encircled with white, and the spot next that on the lobe 

 is almost entirely obsolete with superimposed submetallic bluish-grey scales. 



$ . Upperside : both wings of a somewhat dark golden brown, darker at the 

 extremities, with three distinct white-tipped tails, the upper one being short and 

 broad ; lobe-spot black. I have one specimen before me with a trace of violet scaling 

 on both wings ; the brown line in this specimen is quite dark all over. Underside : 

 both wings like the male, but all the silvery-white spots and markings are very much 

 enlarged and intensified throughout, and the submedian area and internal margin in 

 the primaries are whitish, whilst the broad tapering band of the secondaries is ochreous 

 rather than grey. 



In the specimens with violet scaling on the upperside the costal and subcostal 

 margin of the primaries is orange rather than red, and in the other specimens there is a 

 tendency towards this tone of colour. This species has two tails in the male and three 

 in the female. It may easily be distinguished from the preceding species by the distinct 

 black spots in the anal area, the greater extent of white in the secondaries, and by the 

 pale delicate brown subcostal band preceding the black anal spots.

d . Upperside : both wings brownish black, with a patch of brilliant metallic emerald- 

 green scales, that on the primaries occupying the subdiscal area, but only extending 

 slightly over the submedian nervure, and but little beyond the cell ; on the secondaries 

 these scales are more extensive, extending in a line down the median nervure, increasing 

 slightly towards the end of the cell, where it suddenly expands and occupies a good 

 part of the median area ; three tails, tipped with white ; lobe well developed, with 

 a black eye-spot. Underside : both wings greyish brown : primaries with a white 

 slightly increasing streak occupying nearly the full length of the cell, beyond which is 

 a white spot ; transverse band composed of five spots, the first three inclined very 

 obliquely outwards, the first, nearest the costa, being very small, the fourth and fifth 

 inclined very obliquely inwards ; a narrow submarginal line of continuous spots ; 

 submedian area pale. Secondaries with a short white edging to the base of the costa, 

 followed by a broad stripe of the ground-colour ; a broadish white oblique stripe 

 extends from the base to the apex of the costa, interrupted near the apex ; in the 

 large area of the darker ground-colour there is a horizontal irregular shortish white 

 stripe ; cell closed by a narrow white line ; this dark area is edged yet lower down by
