mark of the forewing consists in the type of a line behind the median nervure, a spot 

 between veins 2 and 3, and an indistinct spot in the apex of the cell. 



cJ. There are 25 ituiles in the Tring Mnsenm. The forewing is in one example 

 without white mark on the upperside, iu another individual there are some white 

 scales between veins 2 and 3, in most others the mark resembles tluit of the ti/pe- 

 specimeu (see above), and iu a few specimens there are white scales in the cell along 

 the median nervnre. In every case the white mark is ill-defined. The veins of the 

 forewing are usually without white scaling, except at the very base, but in some 

 examples there are distinct white nervular lines iu the basal half of the wing. The 

 basal area is as a rule a little more yellow than in intacta. The black spot at the 

 end of the cell of the hindwing is, on the upperside, often well marked (as in type- 

 specimen), sometimes absent; the black border is beyond vein \b dilated, and very 

 ofteu extended along the abdominal margin to the base ; the discal Mack s]iot is 

 sometimes couuected with the border of tlie wing by means of a longitudinal streak. 

 On the underside the longitudinal white mark of the forewing is seldom smaller 

 than above, the basal portion especially being sometimes obliterated ; in the 

 specimens in which the mark is very small above or absent it is larger below, as 

 it is in nearly all the other examples. The hindwing is below more suffused witli 

 blackish scales than it is on the upperside. 



The mesothorax has usually a more yellow tint than the base of the forewing; 

 but in a few individuals it is as dull brown as the wing, while in one specimen head, 

 thorax, abdomen, and base of forewing are bright orange as in clavata. The abdomen 

 is mostly brighter yellow than the thorax : in one example it is of the same pale buff 

 colour as iu intacta f. intacta; the dorsal black dots of segments 4, .5, 6, and 7 have 

 mostly developed (as in the <y/)«-specimen) to transverse bands, and the segments 

 2 and 3 are dorsally suffused with blackish brown scales, excejit iu a small number 

 of individuals; the before-mentioned s])ecimen with bright orange body has the 

 abdomen spotted like clavata. 



? . Resembles generally the male, but the wings below are mostly more extended 

 white; forewing above in Lorabok specimens often without white streak ; the black 

 rings of the abdomen are laterally sometimes dilated into spots, a character which 

 is constantly present in several more Eastern subspecies oihcliconia. Body and base 

 of forewing iu one ? bright orange.

¥. Corresponding to .4. /(c/iVo/iift intacta f. /«r«, from wliich it differs iu the 

 abdomen being of the same colour as in intacta f. intacta. White j)atch of forewing 

 prolonged along vein 2; black border to hindwing rather deeply and broadly in<l('ut(>d 

 at vein 2; abdomen with a dorsal row of rather small black spots.
