Jlii/gs above, in the male, black, the anterior with an oblong patch, the hinder with a large area 

 nearly circumscribed according to the outline of the wing, deeply notched at the base and sepa- 

 rated by a narrow curved border from the posterior margin, deep cyaneous blue, or reflecting 

 in a different light a beautiful sea-green lustre: underneath dark reddish brown, the hinder 

 covered with a shining bay reflexion ; the anal area paler and clouded, in the fore wings, 

 uniformly gray, and defined in the form of a regular arch in the hinder pair ; the surface of 

 both pairs bearing diversified marks of a beautiful shining silvery white, arranged in the following 

 manner : in the fore wings a narrow white line, attenuated towards the base extends near the 

 inner boundary of the costal area about one-third of the wing ; on the disk stands a very short 

 transverse stigma ; behind this follows a curved interrupted band of five wedge-shaped dots, of 

 which the intermediate one is greatly lengthened and sagittiform, and, near the posterior margin, 

 a gently curved striga of minute arcs : the hinder wings have a delicate dash at the inner 

 costal curve, then a very large oblong longitudinally disposed spot with irregularly defined 

 edges, narrow at its basal extremity, enlarged into a rounded head as it approaches the middle 

 of the costal margin, the exterior edge being deeply sinuated and the interior produced into a 

 lengthened process stretching at right angles to the disk ; behind this an irregular striga extend- 

 ing in an arch across the entire surface at the anterior boundary of the gray anal area, commenc- 

 ing near the middle of the costa with a large irregular dot, continued over the disk by four or five 

 wedge-shaped marks, and then passing in two slightly diverging acutely flexuose lines to the inner 

 margin; lastly near the hinder margin a double striga, the interior one undulated, enclosing a 

 few oblong reddish brown marks terminating near the external tail, all of a shining white tint, 

 beincr succeeded by a large oblong transverse patch of a deep black colour and a stripe closely 

 dotted with white, both which are regularly parallel with the posterior margin, while the anal 

 appendage itself is covered by a large circular black spot, and two marks of the same colour, 

 ed^ed with white, are disposed along the oblique portion of the inner margin. The body is 

 brown above and hoary underneath ; the antenna are uniformly brown to a short ferruginous 

 tip ; the black tails have a delicate medial line and a white extremity. 



A single male specimen is contained in our museum.
