Tux surface of the upper wings of the Galanthus 
Butterfly is scarlet ; the posterior margins, which 
are scalloped, have a pretty broad margin of deep 
black, which extends upwards of half'an inch on the 
anterior margin ; and nearly close to the tips are 
two white spots. There is a large and broad arti- 
culate band extending néarly across the wings ; the 
under wings are black, with a broad articulate band 
of scarlet. The body is black, and the eyes scarlet. 
The antenna are very slender. 
The strong contrast of the intense black and the 
scarlet, renders this a very striking insect. It in- 
habits Surinam.
