The upper wings are black, with an oblong spot 
of white towards their posterior margin, and two 
small spots near the lower angle of the wings. There 
is a large crescent-shaped white band, which occupies 
nearly the whole under wings ; the dises terminate 
about the centre of the upper wings ; this is sur- 
rounded with a broad edge of beautiful clear light 
blue, near the lower margin of which is a transverse 
fillet of black, and the lower posterior margin of the 
under wings is bounded by a white band. The body 
is dark brown, and the eyes scarlet. 
This very pretty insect is a native of Surinam.
