 Hindwing : band always entering cell ; no snbraavginal spots. 



I'm/t'rsii/t' : snbmarginal row of spots of forewing continued to SM-, more or 

 less distinctly angnlate at R-, usnally some traces of spots on disc between the 

 median band and the snbmarginal series. Hindwing : orange-red jirojections of 

 median band shorter than in the preceding, of the same length on both sides of 

 each vein. 



?. Dichromatic. 



a'. ?-f. abderus. — Similar to male. Forewing, above, occasionally with more 

 postdiscal spots than fonr and with blotches of huffish scales on disc ; band of 

 hindwing not always entering cell, the distal projections more or less orange-red 

 above, and the snbmarginal spots often vestigial, red on npperside.

 blotches on disc ; a snbmarginal row of spots from costal margin to SM-, the spots 

 small, not sharply defined. Hindwing : orange-red crescents very large (cor- 

 responding to the distill portion of the median band of male), strongly arched, 

 except the first one, crescents R' — M^ being the largest ; submarginal sjjots large, 



pale tawny-orange, upper ones creamy proximally. Underside : forewing with 



some creamy scaling in cell representing the cell-jjatch of male ; blotches on disc 

 as above, but larger ; jtroximally of them some other blotches, which are a remnant 

 of the median band ; snbmarginal spots small. Hindwing : all the discal crescents 

 strongly arched, paler than above, and the posterior ones not so broad ; submarginal 

 spots only slightly curved. 



Genitalia : Harpe straight, apical processes also straight, lower one shorter 

 than the upper.
