from inner margin to snljmedian foUl represents tlic ends of the median and 

 onter lines ; and in one instance tlic submarginal line is marked liy a large black- 

 brown blotch at anal angle and another beyond cell on the edge of the brown 

 triangle; the hindwing and underside remain as in the type. 



The aberration jjersfiiifafa is much more abnormal : the ground-colour is pale 

 pearl-grey ; all lines and markings are nearly absent; a thick donble brown-black 

 streak, well-defined basewards but diffuse outwards, runs from jnst below apex 

 of forewing to middle of inner margin, and is produced across hindwing as a 

 broad band occupying the second fourth of the wing, with the black cell-spot on 

 its outer edge ; underside the same ; the dorsum with a broad brown band across 

 third and fourth segments. 



2 c? c? of the type form ; 5 t? (? of ab. ohsoleta ; and 1 c? of jjerstrigata. 



The two brown lines of the underside of forewing are visible above only in 

 worn specimens. 



In the third aberration, colorafa, of which a single c? only has been sent, 

 the colour, instead of being uniform as in the others, is varied ; the ground- 

 colour is pale grey striated with olive ; the basal area and most of the marginal 

 area beyond outer line are dull green ; the blotcli on inner margin at the end of the 

 fine outer line is jiale brown, while the cell-spot is rufous and the hiudmarginal 

 blotches are rnfous brown ; ia the hindwing only the base and the space between 

 onter and submarginal line are pale, all the rest being tinged with rufous and 

 olive, the antemediau line and the inner edge of submarginal being ferruginous. 



Underside pale pearly grey with all the lines shown distinctly.
