Key to the species ; 



A. Males. 



a. Band of forewing not broadly interrupted, the upjiermost 



spot standing before SC^ or in fork, separate from base 



of fork b. 



Band of forewing broadly interrupted, or continued to 

 costal margin around apex of cell, uppermost spot at 

 base of subcostal fork small, often absent, or the band 

 quite short d. 



b. Patch SC'"' — R' of band of forewing (second or third from 



apex) long, reaching beyond base of subcostal fork , c. 



This patch smaller than the next, widely separate from 



base of fork Species No. 100. 



c. Tail with yellow spot at apex Species No. 98. 



Tail without yellow spot at apex Si^ecies No. 99.

which are all separated from one another . . . Species No. 104. 

 Band either broadly interrupted at R- or continuous, the 



veins not black /.
