a straight series of yellowish white, postdiscal, spots, the npper one SC!' — SC^ seldom 

 marked, the seeoijd and third the largest, mostly triangular, juiinting distad, seldom 

 the second rounded, the last two, M- — SM-, sometimes j)artly or totally olditerated, 

 ofteu replaced by bluish triangles, base of second spot about lu to 13 mm. from 

 outer edge of wing, that of spot M' — IVP only 4 or 5 ram. ; the white submarginal 

 spots of Ji.eiif/amippus here sometimes vestigial, being in some individuals traceable 



under a lens. Hindwing : distal, postdiscal and submarginal black bars fused to 



a narrow band, 2J to 3 mm. broad, of nearly even width, bnt more or less con- 

 stricted near veins, separated from the thinly black edge of the wing by the 

 adraarginal interspaces ; the band taken as a whole evenly curved, parallel to 

 the outer edge of the wing ; each partition of the b;uid includes a ])ale, huffish, 

 lunnle which separates the thin (often very thin) discal, curved, bar from the 

 heavier postdiscal one, between the latter and the submarginal bar (which is 

 generally convex distally) is included the bluish white or pale blue submarginal 

 dot, anal partition of band and its pale blue spot largest ; admarginal, biconcave, 

 pale butf or pale yellow, interspaces about H to 'ih mm. broad, slightly separated 

 from each other by the black veins, often shaded with blue ; black marginal line 

 varying in width, absent from anal angle ; tails black with two pale blue streaks, 

 npper tail mostly somewhat shorter than second, length 6 to 10 mm., and 7 to 

 12 mm. respectively. 



i'mlerside white, with a greenish tint (the membrane of the wing being green), 



marked with black and brown. Forewing : basal two-thirds of costal margin 



occnjjied by a stripe of about 2 mm. width of raw umber colour, including a white 

 basal streak; this stripe joined at its distal end to a straight band, of about the 

 same width and colour, running obliquely to the anal angle, crossing SM- about 

 3 to 4 mm. from tip of vein, outwardly bordered by a complete series of black 

 (discal) bars, which stand more or less separate, and are mostly slightly curved (the 

 upper ones generally excepted), discal bar SO — SC^ often obsolete ; outer margin 

 occupied by a band of similar width and colour ; the interspace between marginal 

 and discal band appears less greenish than the rest of the wing owing to the black 

 scaling of the npperside ; between M- aud SM= there are generally two more or less 

 obvious, black, spots, representing the postdiscal bars ; similar but smaller spots are 

 occasionally visible between R^ and M-, they are jilaccd at the outer edge of the 

 postdiscal, white, spots of the up])erside which ^shine through ; the submarginal 

 bars which should stand at the edge of the marginal band are not traceable ; cell- 

 bar 3 represented by a heavy, black, dot standing just behind SC in middle of cell, 

 cell-bar 4 at upper end about 1 mm. from bar D, curved, reaching M about 

 i to 1 1 mm. before base of M', almost continuous with submedian bar M'— M-, 

 cell-bar 4 and submedian bars M' — SM- on the one side, aud bar D together with 

 median bars R'— (SM^) on the other form the borders of a yellowish tawny olive 

 band of about 2 to 2i mm. breadth (incl. of bars) ; median bar R'— M" short, 

 oblique, median bar SC;^— R' sometimes jirescnt, olili([ue, placed at the edge of the 



tawny olive costal border. Hindwing : submedian bars V. — (SM*) forming one 



broken line, entering cell at origin of D', crossing M at or near base of M-, bar (! 

 ofteu absent ; median bars forming a line parallel to the first ; interspace between 

 the lines about 1 J to 2 mm. wide, ochre yellow, sometimes gallstone yellow, this 

 band continued to the disco-postdiscal baud which it joins at (SM') ; outer edge 

 of white discal area evenly convex, parallel to outer margin of wing (taken as a 

 whole, apart of tails and dentition) ; the disco-postdiscal band composed of the
