Tus large and curious insect is of a dull fawn 
colour, fulvous at the posterior margin, within which 
is a broad, black, doubly vandyked band, and a large 
triangular patch of black, extending from the inser- 
tions of the wings three-fourths across them ; they 
are slightly indented ; the under wings have a greatly 
broader black band than the wpper ones ; it reaches 
to the very margin, with a double row of equidistant, 
oblong, fawn-coloured spots within the edge, and a 
single row of four round spots, of the same colour, 
towards its upper extremity ; the body is dark brown; 
the antenne are very long and slender. 
This insect is an inhabitant of the warmer parts 
of South America. It is of a large size, extending, 
from the tips of the wings, to six inches and three 
quarters.
