black patches, which iuclmlc the submarginal spots: i)atch M' — M 4 iiiiu. wide or 

 less, patch M- — 8M- narrower. 



UmlerslJe. Forewiug : upj)er cell-bar either straight (or nearly so), then 



])osteriorlj' not joined to discocellular bar, and apical interspace triangular, posteriorly 

 wider than bar, or snbapical bar heavier, somewhat curved, joined to discocellular 

 bar at both ends, with a thin linear apical interspace ; submedian and resp. median 

 bars merged together or free; median bar H" — W sometimes a heavy patch; patch- 

 like bar R'— R- either well separated from discalone, or touching it; submarginal spots 

 and white scaling varying in extent, sometimes with thin black lines at the outside; 

 inner angle (as iu obicimi-s) with an indistinct whitish sjwt outside the submarginal 



sjwt, corresponding to the admarginal spots of hindwing. Hindwing: submedian 



and median lines straight at costal margin, or (mostly) curving towards eacli 

 other, sometimes joined together, varying in thickness ; median band 7 to '.) mm. 

 wide at edge of wing, li to 2 mm. at R', not shaded over with ochraceous and olive 

 scaling ; u])per discal red spot thinner bordered black distally than the following 

 two; median bar 51- — (S3I') present. 



?. Uppersifle. Forewing: median patch R^ — M' extended to cell (Halma- 



heira), or nearly to cell (Batjan); white area nearly reaching submarginal spots 

 between M' — SM-; median spots SC- — R" larger than in S, spot R- — ff close to 

 that behind it ; posterior three-fifths of cell white.' 



Underside : discal red spots of hindwing smaller than in 6, paler red.

cJ. Head, i)ronotuiu, and anterior jiortion of mesonotum olive-brown; rest of 

 mesonotum, metanotnm, and abdomen white. 



Wings, upperside. Forewing: cell with white scaling, condensed to a patch 



lieyond middle, apex and upper angle black; median band more proximal than in 

 the preceding forms of pyrrliMS, its inner edge crossing M just a little beyond origin 

 of M-, outer edge incised up(in M", 14 mm. from edge of wing at 811- ; discal spot 

 R^ — M' indicated by a few scales, sjwt R- — R" obliterated, seldom a few white scales 

 left, spots SC" — li" also absent or only vestigial; tirst and third submarginal dots 

 vestigial, second elongate, last two absent or indicated by u few glaucous scales : 



abdominal fold greyish brown at end, terminated by a greyish wliite j'atch. 



Hindwing : glaucous white scaling extending from base nearly to bend of R', 

 posteriorly more restricted than in preceding races, its outer edge only ;5 to 5 mm. 

 from origin of M'; discal whitish glaucous luniforra spots between R' and M" 

 widely separated from the basi-discal area, sometimes olisolete: discal band reaching 

 to It', a little wider than iu gilotensis ; submarginal glaucous s])ots minute : 

 admarginal spots from Ht'-' to anal angle, constricted in mi(hlle, the upper ones 

 interrupted. 



Underside dark tawny olive, with a peculiar c:hocoIate hue. Forewing: jiost- 



mcdian cellular interspace wliite, with few ochraceous scales; cell-bar 4 thinner than 

 m yilolensis, posteriorly not joined to the lliin bar IJ, ajiical cellular interspace twice 

 as wide as bar 4; submedian and median bars M' — (SM') absent, discal ])atch M'— M^ 

 tilling base of cellule M'— 51-. liar R'— M' arched, close lo cell, bar \V iV fused
