SM^ Hindwing with six or seven spots, the row in middle abont lialfwaj- 



between cell and distal margin, spot behind M- beyond middle of this vein. 



? . This is the only instance in which the female bears on the forewiug a patch 



somewhat similar to that of the male. Uppersidc : forewiug with slaty grey 



patch from inner margin to M- or beyond, the patch narrower than in male, consisting 

 of huffish white, narrow, entire scales lying on black ones ; three or four white 



spots within the patch, two standing between M^ and SM-. Hindwing : a pale 



red band from abdominal margin forward, gradually decreasing in width from M-j 

 curved, situated about halfway between cell and distal margin, the posterior spots 

 contiguous, the anterior ones separate. 



Underside : white spots of forewing as above, but no slaty scaling. Hind- 

 wing : band narrower than above, the spots all or nearly all separate. 



Genitalia : c?. Harpe shorter than in the allied forms, the apical half more 

 acuminate-triangular, ventral tooth large.

(?. Upperside : forewing, a patch from inner margin to M', being in that 

 direction much longer than it is broad, distant from cell, with two or three minute 



white linear spots, or one, or no spot. Hindwing with an evenly curved row of 



four or five spots. 



Underside : on forewing at least one minute white spot. 



?. Upperside : forewiug with a row of four white spots ; spot M' — M- much 



larger than in Hewitson's figure. Band of hindwing consisting of six spots, the 



first minute, the last four much smaller than in Hewitson's specimen.

c?. Upperside : forewing, green patch much broader than in the preceding, 



touching cell or nearly ; with or without white spots. Hindwing : three red spots

 but one. 



Underside : at least one white dot on forewing. On hindwing five or six red

$. Forewing with two white spots; last three spots of hindwing very large.
