BY PHILIP LUTLEY SCLATER. 
This splendid species was one of the novelties brought by M. 
Bourcier from the republic of Ecuador, The Prince of Canino, in 
his description of it, does not allude to the very peculiar colour of 
the lesser wing-covers, thighs, and ocular spots, which it is very 
dificult to convey an idea of by description. Mr. Wilson’s two 
specimens, and that in the Paris National collection, are, I believe, 
the only individuals of the species in Europe.
