vein 2 stand farther away from the margin than the other spots, so that the inner 

 edge of the macular band, when the band is comi)lete, is convex in that iihice. A 

 third postmcdial sjiot close to the anal angle is also often present. 



On the underside, the basal two-thirds of the forewing are white, this colour 

 sliading into yellow towards the base ; there are three rounded black sjwts present, 

 one in the centre of the cell, the second upon the discocellular veinlets, the third 

 beliind vein 2 ; the first spot is either inside the wliite region, or the white area 

 does not extend beyond the spot. The hiudwing is sometimes whitish (instead of 

 yellow) towards the outer margin. 



There are two geograjjhical races known to us, both of which vary ajipareutly 

 to the same extent. K. J.

 being cream-colour instead of chrome -yellow.

In thi.s form there appears rather often a small black spot at the inner margin 

 of the forewing above at the edge of the yellow basal area. The snbmarginal black 

 spots of the hindwiug are in one of onr females from the Khasia Hills so enlarged 

 that they form a marginal black border to the wing which is wide anteriorly and is 

 traversed by yellow veins.

Apjiarently rare in collections. Tiie forewing is above of a buffish clay-colour, 

 with an obvious jnirplish gloss in side view; all the veins, and tlic sulimediau fold, 

 strongly st reaked with cream-buff ; a small cream-buff patch at the lower angle of 

 the cell is prolonged along middle of cell towards base. The hindwing is uni- 

 colonnis, liuffish yellow, in the two specimens from Waigeu (ex coll. Dr. 

 Staudiugerj, while in our two J'emale.s from Humboldt Hay there is a small fuscous 

 spot near the anal angle. On the underside both wings are pale yellow ; the apical 

 and ouier-margiual region of the forewiug fuscous; the fnscons colour extends along
