Wings long and narrow. Upper surface black, bandedwith lemon-yellow, as in Fig. 35; three of these on thefore wings and two on the hind wings. The outer oneon the fore wings is obliquely transverse before the apex,the second nearly parallel just outside the cell, the third X42 ^^^ BUTTERFLIES OF THE extends from the base on both sides of the median vein tothe third venule, from which it bends obliquely outward,reaching the margin in a dot. The two basal bands of the hind wings form a straightline when the wings are spread ; below this is a line of Fig. Heliconia Charitonia (natural size). dots, the outer end bending round so as to form a sub-marginal row from about the middle of the outer marginto the apex. There are a few marginal dots at the analangle, and usually two or three red dots at the base. Under side dull black, with the yellow lines and dotsrepeated, though paler.

The egg is described by Mr. Edwards as cylindrical,one-half higher than broad, flat at base, tapering veryslightly from base to about three-fourtlis the length,then conoidal, the top flattened and a little by fourteen longitudinal ridges crossed by lowhorizontal ridges. Color yellow. The young larvae are cylindrical, tapering slightlyfrom about the seventh segment; marked by four prin- PLATE II.
