Win(/s, apperside. Forewing; : posterior half of cell shaded with glancons 



white scales, which are denser before apex ; white discal band very wide, onlv 

 (i mm. distant from ontor edge of wing at S5I-; tlie interspace l)etween band and 

 cell rcsp. base of wing densely scaled glancons white, band at M- 4 mm. from cell,

dots considerably ^smaller than in pyrrhm pi/rrhns, spot SC— SC' present, posterior 



ones shaded with glancons. Hiudwing : white discal band thin, reaching beycmd 



M, which it crosses at origin of M'; glancons white scaling dense, covering the 

 greater jiart of tiie wing ; onter edge of this area concave between veins, the discni 

 Innules of the jireceding snbspecies here not being separated; black outer area widest 

 at SC- (13 mm.), strongly narrowing behind, where it is convex between the veins 

 both pro.ximally and distally ; glaucous discal scaling extending a little along 

 M' and M-, but not joining the admarginal spots, which arc tlunner in middh' tlian 

 in the two jireceding races ; snbmargiual dots glaucous with white centres, .smaller 

 than in pi/rrhii.s. 



Undersidi' : all the bars and lines, excejit middle bar of cell of forewing, tliinner 



than in pyrrluix pi/rrhi.-i. Forewing : middle cell-bar as broad as in /ii/rrliii.t, tlie 



inlersiiace following it narrow, encircled with white ; snbajiical bar thinner, 

 posteriorly not joined to discoccllular bar, which is ihin and anteriorly not dilated 

 distad ; apical interspace of cell ochraceous, wider than sidiajiical bar; snbmedian 

 bars M'— (SM') very short, close to cell; median bars M'— (SM') close to snb- 

 median ones, the ni)j)er touching JI with upper end ; median bar 1< '— M' -,' mm. from 

 lower angle of cell at H', bar R-— R' merged together with discocellular bar, three 

 ni)I>er median bars prolonged basad along vein.s ; white discal band coming close to 

 di.scal line at (SM") ; greyish silvery bordei- of discal line rather thin ; subniarfrinal 

 spots small with little silvery scaling round them, the last two nearly obliterated. 



Hinchvin^r : white discal band narrow, but extending down to M', about 7 mm. 



in front, giadually tapering behind, distally concave to R^, separated from thin discal 

 black line by a narrow olivaceous interspace except at costal margin ; discal spots
