APPENDIX. 391 



in the " Voyage de I'Astrolabe." The upper sides of the 

 wings of the Drusilla Mylcecha are of a pure white with a 

 silky lustre, the front edge of the fore wings margined 

 with deep brown both above and below ; in the male there 

 is a slender white line on the upper side running close 

 to the edge, and extending beyond the middle of it ; the 

 two discoidal veins in the male are brown on the upper 

 side, and the edge of the upper side of the lower wings is 

 brown. The under side of the lower wings has a dark 

 brown band at the base, widest close to the attachment of 

 the wing and narrowing to a large ocellus which it sur- 

 rounds in the form of a narrow brown ring ; the black 

 ocellus has a very small white pupU with a slight bluish 

 crescent on the inside, and is surrounded by a fulvous ring ; 

 there is a second black ocellus nearer the hind edge than 

 the middle, with a small white pupil and a wideish fulvous 

 ring, separated from the white of the wing by a narrow 

 brown ring; head, antennse, legs, and thorax in front 

 brown ; palpi fulvous. 



The figures are of the size of nature, and carefully drawn 

 by Mr. Wing.
