several broad macular violet-blue bands ; thorax and 
abdomen yellow, the former with blue transverse

Numana^ Cramer, pi. 227 A. male, and 228, A. 
female), the upper wings of which are of a deep 
blue with yellow spots ; the under pair with the 
whole of the disk yellow, abdomen likewise of that 
colour, with black bands. It is a native of the 
Molucca Islands. 
The species figured has the upper wings hyaline, 
clouded with .irregular spots and waved bands of 
violet-blue; hinder wings with a few transverse 
violet-blue marks and a broad marginal band of the 
same colour, in the centre of which there is an 
irregular band of orange spots, some of which are 
angular, others round, and that on the anal angle 
inclining to semicircular. Head, thorax, and abdo- 
men orange ; antennae black. 
It is a native of Australia, and is said to be very 
rare in that country. We are informed by Mr. 
Swainson that it was twice seen by Mr. Cunning- 
ham, on the north-west coast of Australia ; once in 
shady woods descending to the shores of York 
Island, and again in nutmeg-woods adjoining Bruns- 
wick Bay.
