 upperside, reaching binder margin, but second strongly tapering, interspace a little 

 wider than in the preceding form ; sixth band separate from lower angle of cell ; 

 transparent snbmarginal interspace narrower than in P. in. //etacriiis, not being 

 wider within subcostal fork than the interspace between fourth and fifth bauds 



measured at third cell-fold. Black markings a little more extended than in 



hetaerius, first white admargiual lunule hardly traceable, second very thin, or

 present, the other white ad- and submarginal spots also smaller than in ketaerius ; 

 red anal spot longer, the white spot M' — M- standing at its discal side 

 correspondingly smaller, the black spot M' — M^ in front of the red spot larger,

 underside ; tail longer and broader than in the other two forms. 



Interspace between subbasal and median bands of underside of hindwing 

 rather wider than in the two preceding forms, the median band being distinctly 

 more distal, crossing cell at base of M' ; white lunule C — SC- hardly vestigial, 

 only one white lunule R' — R-, the other white lunules also reduced.

 ridge less dilated than in the other forms of molops ; central process curved
