material available for examination does \n<\ atliuil ol drawiui; any coiicliisioiiM as to 

 the correctness of that suggestion. 



The specimeus examined wore all without date of capture ; hence we do not 

 feel justified in treating the white form as representing a spring brood and the 

 dark form as belonging to the summer broods, thougli tliat surmise may ultimately 

 turn out to be correct. 



tl'-. White or greenish white band on upperside as wide us below, no 

 additional white scaling at the outer side of the band on forewing.

Differs from /:.'. athamas in the discal band of the wings being white (pale 

 greenish white in fresh specimeus). The submarginal white spots of the hindwing 

 are, on the whole, larger, the blue shading at the outer edge of the discal baud of 

 the hiudwing above from R-^ — M- more distinct. 



The submarginal dot of the forewing above is seldom absent ; sometimes 

 (esj)ecially often in ?) there is a second dot behind W. lu one of our iSiivkim ? ? 

 the band of the forewing crosses II' a little, there being a white patch indicated 

 wliich corresponds to a white spot of the underside standing at the outside of the 

 well-marked median bar R- — R^. In one of the S6 from the Xaga Hills there 

 appears a black line along SM' of the hindwing below, recalling the black lines 

 found in K. jji/rr/i us and many ('haro.ix.'i. The whitish, triangular patcli near the 

 end of the abdominal fold of the hindwing above is often scarcely indicated. Blue 

 streaks in tails well developed.
