structure of the tarsi in the sexes, were ascertained since the arrangement of the plates of the 

 first part for the engraver. These will be given in a future number. 



The peculiarities of this genus and its relation to the genus next in order, will be pointed out after the 

 description of that genus.

Plate I, fig. 11; 11, a. 

 Anterior wings above brown, more saturated in the male, posterior wings covered in the male 

 with a cyaneous pulverulent glossy tint, varying according to the light to sea-green, increasing 

 in strength to the hinder margin; a broad exterior and a narrow posterior border are brown, 

 the latter having a snow-white fringe which also extends to the paler inner margin ; in the 

 female these wings are brown, with the exception of a few faint diffuse bluish lunules covering 

 three semilunar black spots, which in this sex, as well as in the male, are arranged along the 

 posterior boundary of the anal region : underneath the fore wings are grayish brown, with a 

 whitish anal area, and marked with dark brown spots and bands enclosed by very delicate white 

 edges; the first spot stands at the base in a longitudinal direction ; before this are two transverse 

 spots, the outer being very minute and occupying the disk ; behind this follows a complete band, 

 which is simple and slender exteriorly, but broad and margined in its interior dimidial portion ; 

 within the margin an obsolete series of interrupted lineolar fragments passes over the whole 



surface ;
