PLATE XXXVII. 



waved band composed of white spots, wliicli though traversing the 

 darker space in some degree constitutes the boundary Hne to the 

 inner or testaceous disk of the anterior wings. There are also 

 besides this white band two lunate spots of the same colour upon the 

 black space of the anterior part of the wing, midway between the 

 white band and the exterior margin. The disk of the lower wings is 

 of the same testaceous colour, with a broad posterior limb or border 

 of very singular appearance : it is a band or series of seven* large 

 confluent black spots of a rounded form, with a distinct blue spot in 

 the middle of each. This black band is divided from the testaceous 

 disk by a series of semilunate spots of pale yellowish, and bounded 

 by an indented border of the same colour, which conforming to the 

 incurvate figure of the spots, and the indented margin, form a series 

 of subquadrangular spots of the same yellow colour along the extreme 

 boundary of the wing. This is the appearance of the upper surface. 

 Beneath the colour is pale olive, inchning to purplish. The same 

 white band, so conspicuous across the middle of the upper wings, 

 appears also on the lower surface, and likewise the two white lunate 



* Fabriclus says six blue spots, in which particular his description is at 

 variance with the drawing in the collection of Mr. Jones, to which he refers, 

 and also the insect in the Banksian Cabinet: seven such caerulean spots, 

 instead of six, are very clearly depicted. There is also some slight obscu- 

 rity in one or two other passages of the Fabrician description, which 

 our present description and figure will enable the Naturalist to amend : 

 the particulars of its secondary character are thus defined in " Entomologia 

 Systematica.'" Corpus magnum, obscure testaceum capite punctis quatuor 

 albis. Alae anticae testaceae, apice atrae fascia lunulisque duabus albis, 

 subtus basi glaucae maculis transversis, atris, albo marginatis, in medio 

 fascia alba apice griseae lunulis duabus albis. Posticae testaceae, apice 

 nigrae punctis sexcyaneis. Margo ipse maculis flavescentibus. Subtus 

 griseae maculis tribus flavis annulo albo nigroque cinctis. In medio striga 

 interrupta alba, nigrae innata et versus marginem maculae virescentes.
