singularity. Thus the anterior wings are greyish brown at the base, 

 the exterior half black, and the two spaces separated by a broad 

 white band, having a narrow stripe of blue on the interior edge or 

 margin ; the posterior half of the lower wings are rufous, varied 

 with black, marked with a transverse black band and two ocellar 

 spots of white ; and lastly, it may be observed, that the broad 

 white band which crosses the middle of the first wings, commences at 

 the anterior margin, and after passing over the posterior margin, 

 extends as far as the middle of the lower wings. The appearance of 

 the lower surface is no less remarkable ; the prevailing colour is 

 brown, but both the upper and lower wings are marked across the 

 middle with a broad paler band, the inner half of which is pale 

 yellow, the outer half blueish grey. There are also a few lunar 

 marks of pale blue, and a row of white dots at the posterior extremity.
