This species presents another remarkable form, bear- 
ing some analogy to the preceding, hut at once dis- 
tinguished by having only one tail. The hinder 
margin of the supeiior wings is dilated, in the mid- 
dle, into an acute angle ; the same margin of the 
hinder pair is cut in a square form towards the anal 
angle, and is furnished with an oblique lengthened 
tail rounded at the extremity. The caterpillar tapers 
lightly towards the hinder extremity, and has two 
short obtuse horns on the hinder part of the head. 
The chrysalis is very short and thick, and without 
any angular projections. 
The butterfly expands from three to three and a 
half inches, and is coloured somewhat in the manner 
of certain kind., of Ileliconia. The upper wings are 
black above with two broad bands, that next the 
base tawny-red, the exterior one yellow, sinuated 
and oblique, extending from the costa to the pro- 
jecting angle on the hinder margin of the wing ; 
near the apex are likewise two or three yellow spots. 
Posterior wings black, with a tawny-red stripe along
