c?. Black postdiscal band of forewing, above, not centred by a pale line, the 

 scales of this and the marginal band rather broad ; anterior half of transparent 



submarginal band broader than black postdiscal band. Subbasal black baud of 



hindwing absent from upperside, except a thin line on M- ; submedian band absent, 

 merely showing through ; no white spot R^ — R^ in black postdiscal baud. 



Undei-side. — Submedian band of hindwing crossing cell proximally of or at M', 

 the band complete as a rule, joining the subbasal band at an acute angle. 



(Genitalia : Distal lobe of harpe broad, ventral edge ending proximally in a 

 rather heavy tooth. 



This subspecies varies a great deal in size, some specimens being almost twice 

 as large as ntliers. We do not know if the variation is seasonal. Dr. Biirgei
