SOUTH-AERICAN BUTTEKFLIES. 
concurrent pure white line, ttie latter widening into a wliite space on 
anal-angular lobe ; two very indistinct dark spots just before the white 
line, one above, the other below, first median nervule; a third spot, 
black, densely scaled with silvery-bluish and golden scales, on anal- 
angular lobe, edged interiorly and exteriorly with pure wliite ; tails at 
extremities of first median nervule and submedian nervure respectively 
(of which the latter is nearly twice as long as the former), thin, black, 
conspicuously fringed and tipped with pure white. Cilia of fore-wing 
apparently greyish, of hind-wing pure luhite, both on hind and inner 
margin. Under side. — White, with thin yellow-ochreous striae ; in both 
wings a short stria closing discoidal cell, and two transverse striae 
(convergent downward, the outer one thinner and fainter than the 
inner) beyond middle. Fore-wing : the stride beyond middle commence 
on costa, but do not reach inner margin, ending a little below submedian 
nervure. Hind-ioing : elongate spot near base, below precostal nervure, 
red ; the outer and inner striae meet below third median nervule, but 
are thence independently deflected to inner margin ; the outer stria 
becomes fuscous near the point of meeting with the inner, and is thence ! 
black; the usual hind-marginal spots between second and first median 
nervules and on anal-angular lobe respectively, the former black, inwardly 
bordered rather conspicuously with fulvous-yellow, the latter as on upper 
side ; faint traces of a dusky line just before hind-margin, which is itself 
very finely edged with black. 
$ White, ivith hroad fuscous clouding and herders. Fore-wing: 
fuscous basal clouding fills discoidal cell for about three-fourths of its 
length, and extends below it to inner-margin, but does not reach beyond 
middle ; fuscous border extends from base to anal angle, and is very j 
broad in apical region ; disco-cellular stria indistinctly marked, and I 
traces visible of the longer striaB beyond middle. Hind-ioing : fuscous 
clouding in basal region fills cell, and extends irregularly beyond, above, 
and below it about to middle ; the two under-side stri« strongly 
marked, fuscous, suffused, not meeting, but widely separated, between 
first median nervule and submedian nervure; some fuscous scaling 
near apex; hind-marginal and sub-marginal streaks and spots well 
marked. Under side. — Quite as in $, except that in the hind-wing 
the two striae beyond middle, though approximating much more nearly 
than on upper side, do not meet. 
This butterfly is a close ally of FT. Fhilijppus, Fab. In the it is 
distinguished by the more purple, less cupreous colour of the upper side, j 
and the conspicuous tvhite cilia of the hind-wings ; and in both sexes by ' 
the ivhiteness of the under side, with its thinner, much straighter striae, 
and by the longer tails of the hind-wings. 
The upper side of the $ is most strikingly different from the 
brownish-grey colouring of that of the $ Philippus, and the disparity 
is almost as remarkable as that between the ? s of Deudorix Antalus 
(Hopff*.), and F. Fiocles, Hewits., the $ s of which can scarcely be dis-
