spots partly interrupted at internervnlar folds, or nearly so; discal glaucous white 

 scaling as in lj(<riiaiii(i<, in one sjiecimeu extended along M' and M-, joining the 

 admarginal spots ; white median band narrow, stopping at Sd".

Forewing : median bars SO^ — R- very heavy, uiuch extended basad, sometimes 

 nearly reaching upper end of discocellular bar ; discal bars somewhat Inniforra, 

 wider distant from distal margin of wing than in i)receding subspecies, hence inter- 

 space between discal line and snbmarginal small spots wider than usually; discal 

 line thinly bordered silvery grey, bar M' — W with a very thin, M-' — SM" mostly 

 without silvery border ; silvery scaling at outer side of snbmarginal spots forming 



between M' and SM- a spot close to margin of wing. Hindwing : white median 



band very short, stopping at S( '■, or continued to R' as a very thin white or ghmcons 

 lin.-, much shaded with ochreons in front, then with olive, being white only at edge
