This beautiful species I have named after Sir Stamford Raffles, to whose scientific ardour and indefatigable exertions in Java and Sumatra, every Naturalist must feel himself indebted.
The undersides of the wings are spotted like the upper, the only difference being, that round the whole disc of the four wings there runs a band of ashy-green atoms.

The antennae and feet are black, and the breast whitish.

The vivid colour of the yellow spots on the velvety black of the wings distinguish it at once from every known species.
