Text Appearing Before Image:
Fio. 327.—Serecinus Montela. Male.(White, brown, and scarlet.) as conspicuous as those of the male, though there is about themthat almost indefinable dimness which is generally to be foundin female Lepidoptera. The upper wings are brown, and are marked with three dis-tinct rows of yellow spots running in a line with the outer edge,several streaks of the same hue being between the third row andthe base of the wing. The lower wings are coloured after thesame fashion near the base, but at the anal angle there is aninterrupted band of blue, above which is a row of crimsonmarks. The tails are black, a,nd there is a patch of brightyellow at the base. PLATE XIII
