Key to the species : — 



A. Vein M- of hindwing branching off from cell far beyond iSC- 



iisymmetrical. 



a. Forewing without markings in both sexes, except the red 



or pinkish white marijinal dots ; an evenly cnrved row 

 of red spots on hindwing about halfway between cell 



and distal margin 



Forewing with bine or bluish green band in male ; in 

 female with or without wliite patches, no distinct 

 fringe-spots, or the fringe not indented between the 

 veins ; red band of hindwing not regularly arched, the 

 spots closer together and less regularly ovate than in 

 Species No. 38 



b. S without white wool in fold of hindwing ; ? , distal 



margin of forewing straight, last two spots on hindwing 

 on a level with one another, usually confluent 

 (J with white wool in fold of hindwing ; ? , distal margin 

 of forewing rounded, last two spots of hindwing not on 

 a level ......... 



c. (f , band of forewing oblique, strongly tapering, patch 



M^- — SM- obliquely truncate proximally ; ?, apical 

 half of forewing semi-transparent, distal margin feebly 

 rounded, tooth R^ of hindwing usually prominent. 

 6, band of forewing more straight, patch M- — SM^ 

 square, one or two white spots on disc ; ? , apex of 

 forewing more opaque than in No. 40 ; distal margin 

 more convex, hindwing more rounded .... 



B. Veins SC- and M- of hindwing almost at the same distance 



from base, the cell being nearly symmetrical. 



d. c?, midtibia densely covered with small hairs ; ?, 



forewing with broad white subapical cell-patch, or 

 with two rounded spots on disc, in the latter case the 

 red band of hindwing always entering cell , 

 S, midtibia spinose like foretibia, cell of hindwing red 

 on npj)erside (base excepted), or the forewing with 

 large white patches ; ? , no spot in cell, or only a 

 small one, band of hindwing outside cell 



e. cJ, forewing with two white spots on disc; ¥, forewing 



with a small or no spot ...... 



<?, forewing with one or no white spot on disc ; ? , fore- 

 wing with large cell-patch . 

 f. i, forewing with large white spots on disc, band blue, cell 

 of hindwing black; ?,i'on'wing o]iaque, or a straiglit 

 row di' three white spots on disc, the upi)er one being 

 more or less obscure, but no spot in cell 



S, band of forewing green, cell of hindwing red on 

 npperside ; ? , apical half of forewing semitrausjiarent, 

 no spots on disc, or small ones, or the spots are large, 

 usually also a streak in cell ......
