Body and wings very black; orbits of eyes externally clothed 

 with white hairs ; tippets whitish ; primaries with three white 

 spots, one near the base, oblique, obversely wedge shaped, divided 

 into two by a longitudinal black line; next, at a little distance from 

 the anterior margin, is a subtrapezoidal small white spot, between 

 which and the posterior margin is an articulated band, abbreviated 

 at each end, of the same color, consisting of six spots divided by 

 black lines; the same spots distinguish the under surface of these 

 wings, and besides, there is a whitish longitudinal one on the costal 

 area. The secondaries have three white spots on both surfaces, 

 viz., a large rectangular one near the base divided longitudinally 

 into four; a longitudinal band divided into five spots; the longi- 

 tudinal costal streak may almost be regarded as forming a sixth. 

 The four anterior legs are covered with orange hairs.
