6. Willys, vppersidc, more extended black than iu any other form of bitoiin, 



also darker orange fulvons. Forewing : black outer area extending close to npper 



angle of cell and jiosteriorl^- to near middle of internal margin. Hindwing: black 



disco-marginal area wider than iu hitoiia littoiia, tawny admarginal interspaces absent, 

 except anal one ; median bars C — R^ heavy, discal interspaces between them and 

 black area paler, median interspaces at proximal side of those bars darker than the 

 rest of the tawny area of the wing. 



Undi'i-side darker than iu latoini liifoua ; median line of black bars obviously 

 bordered white distally, discal interspaces pinkish white proximally from R- of 

 forewing to R^ of hindwing. 



? . The markings iu the same position as in the other forms of latona, but the 

 black colour ver}- heav}-, and the ochraceous colour partly replaced by white. 



Ujipersidc— — Forewing: basal area dark russet brown; median bars very 

 heavy, bars SC^"* — R-' forming a large black patch ; discal and postdiscal interspaces 

 white : discal line of bars separating them well marked, the bars deeply arched ; 

 postdisco-snbmargiual black spots much larger than in lutona lafomi, merged 

 together with the marginal line, except the last which is partly separated from the 



marginal border by a tawny line. Hindwing : russet tawny ; median bars (! — R- 



as in (?, median interspaces dark brown at and near these bars, discal ones white or 

 nearly white lu'oximally ; a discal series of six or seven black lunnles crosses the 

 wing about midway between cell and black postdisco-submarginal patches, discal 

 hiniform bar C — SC'- in one of the two specimens not separated from the postdisco- 

 submarginal patch ; postdiscal interspaces tawny, except interspace SC- — R' ; 

 postdisco-submarginal patches much larger than in all the other forms of Intona, 

 with minute white centres, all touching one another, except the last two; admarginal 

 interspaces bright tawny ochraceous. 



Underside ditfers from that of latona latona in the cell of forewing, proximal 

 portions of discal interspaces of both wings, and greater part of submedian interspaces 

 of hindwing, being white : tail broad. 



Length of forewing : S, 47 mm. 



„ „ „ J , 53—57 mm.

S. Wings, upperside. Forewing : discal luniform bars separated from the 



black postdisco-marginal border of the wings by tawny orange halfmoons; the three 

 iipi^er bars heavy, the tawny orange spots at their distal side small, bar R- — R-' 

 indistinct, almost fused with the black border, which is somewhat widened between 

 R- and R^ bars R'— SM- orange tawny, about 1 mm. distant from the black border 

 between veins; median bars SC* — R- midway between cell and discal bars, bars R-— M- 

 vestigial.^ — Hindwing: postdisco-submarginal patches .R' — SM.' more or les.s
