S. Upperside. — Forewing : apex not semitransparent ; green patch usually 

 ranch reduced, seldom extending to hindmargin, being on the whole longer in 

 the southern than in the northern specimens ; always one or two creamy white 



spots, often a white spot in cell. Hiudwiug : band gradually widening behind, 



extending usually from SC" to M-, with a narrow streak behind M-, the first spot 

 often small, rarely absent. 



Underside. — Forewing always with white creamy spot R^ — M', mostly also 



with spot R- — R^ and a cell-spot, the latter often reaching across cell. Band 



of hindwing from SO- to anal angle, widest between R- and M-. 



?. Upperside. — Forewing: cell-spot close to cross-veins, square or oblong; 

 a triangular streak in front of cell; discal spot R' — M^ smaller than R- — R^, 

 often absent, rarely larger, but in this case gradually tapering proximally, its 

 oblique hinder edge being continuous (or almost) with the proximal edge of the 



cell-spot ; usually one or more dots at distal side of cross-veins. Hindwing : 



band nearly uniformly red, variable in width, but always nearly evenly curved.

 reduced in length and width ; no green scaling in cell ; no white sjiot, except in a 



very small percentage of specimens, the spot standing usually behiud M'. 



Hindwing : throe red s])ots, separate from cell, often a minute streak or dot behind
