a. — Bight side 3 , left side ? . The body also divided longitudinally, the 

 shoulders, particularly, are strikingly dissimilar. The right wings above are of a 

 beautiful violet, on the left of a dark brown with weak fulvous lunules ; the sexual 

 colour-difference is also noticeable on the underside, and the <? wings are more 

 strongly ocellated than those of the 3 . No perceptible differences in the legs, 

 antennae, or palpi were noticed, and the drying of the specimen did not allow a proper 

 examination of the sexual organs, although, with the aid of a strong lens, one was 

 able to see on the 3 side one of the "clasps" of the 3 organ. Taken June, 

 1834, at Ste. Marie-aux-Mines, in the Haut-Rhin, by Dr. Schreiner (Lefebvre,
