at least 4 mm. long, the other postdi.scal interspaces also larger than the black 



discal bars at their proximal side. Hindwing : obvionsly triangnlar, admarginal 



interspaces R' — R' thicker than, or as thick as, the black marginal line.

large, triangnlar, very mnch larger than the black discal and postdiseal spots 



SO — M-, postdisco-snbinarginal olive grey scaling p.alc bluish in side-light. 



Hindwing : costal bars separate, at least basal costal bar not joined to the 

 snbmedian and median costal bars ; lirown red interspaces npon abdominal fold 

 as wide as, or wider than, the olive black lines (white borders excluded) ; postdiseal 

 brown red patches R- — M" as wide as the respective partitions of the white discal 

 band or even wider ; ochreons spots in admarginal interspaces extended, expanded 

 between veins ; dentition of wing acute, tails slender and long, in c? upper one 

 4 to 6 mm., second 9 to 10 mm., in ? longer. 



In tlie ordinary form the admarginal intcrs])aces SC- — R^ of the hindwing 

 above measure about ~ to 3 mm. in a Ijasi-distal direction. 



The following two forms deviate from the normal in a remarkable way :
