^ Blackish-broivn, with transparent spots ; fore-wing with an inferior 
opaque pure-ivhite spot, and a thin ivhite longitudinal streak between it 
and base. Fore-iuing, about middle, a large irregularly-quadrate spot, 
crossed in its upper part by median nervure and bounded inferiorly by 
first median nervule ; beyond it, a much smaller spot, between second 
and third median nervules ; above and slightly beyond the large spot 
another rather smaller elongate spot ; and beyond this last-named spot 
a subcostal curved row of three very small spots ; opaque white spot 
conspicuous, roughly trigonate, below large central transparent spot 
and somewhat nearer to base ; white longitudinal streak not quite 
touching this white spot or quite extending to base ; basal and costal 
area irrorated with yellowish-grey. Hind-wing : a central, rather 
obliquely-transverse, rather narrow, transparent bar lying between 
second subcostal nervule and submedian nervure, — its lower part con- 
stricted, sub-opaque, and interrupted between median and submedian 
nervures ; hairs of basal and inner-marginal area yellowish-grey, becom- 
ing whitish along a line between submedian and internal nervures. 
Cilia whitish, becoming white about posterior angle in both wings. 
Under side. — Hind-wing, and costal border and apical hind-marginal 
area of fore-wing, hoary-grey luith a violaceous gloss. Fore-wing : spots 
as on upper side, but white longitudinal streak wanting. Hind-wing : 
transparent bar as on upper side, but its lower constricted part joining 
a rather wide longitudinal white ray from base, which ends acutely 
beyond middle ; anal-angular area dark-brown with a very narrow 
external edging of white ; an elongate ill-defined whitish spot between 
first median nervule and submedian nervure ; between costal and sub- 
costal nervures two small faint fuscous spots, one beyond the other ; a 
discal row of four or five similar spots, beginning near costa and thence 
skirting outer edge of transparent bar. 
Head and body above blackish, — the head and thorax clothed with 
mixed greyish, dull yellow-ochreous, and blackish hairs, — the abdomen 
with half-rings of white ; beneath white. 
Notwithstanding its much larger size and very much longer wings — 
the fore-wing being produced apically and the hind-wing at anal angle 
— this species is very like Philander, Hopff., and the single example 
in the Hewitson Collection is referred with a ? to that butterfly. The 
resemblance is chiefly on the upper side, but Producta there presents in
