(' to W it is geuerally heavy, dilated along tUe veins and joined to, or partly fused 

 with, the postdisco-submarginal patches ; iijjper tail acute, 3 to 4 mm. long, second 

 very short, sometimes not so much prominent as the teeth SC^ — R". 



Underside : varying from ochraceous to ochre yellow, the glossy parts appearing 

 darker (slaty grey) in side light, the discal interspaces lighter at the median bars, 



all the bars much thinner than in lafona. Forewing : submediau bar M'— M- 



rather oblique, bar M- — (SM') about midway between base of M- and bar M' — M^ 

 often also oblique, bar R^— M' always about (in both sexes) ; discal bars more distal 

 than in latoiia, less arched, the series not interruj)ted at R- ; postdiscal patches 

 very obscurely marked, with ill-defined, white patches at their distal side, of which 

 the middle ones are mostly very feeble ; upper cell-bar curved twice, the middle 

 portion pointing distad, basal cell-spot at least vestigial, costal margin somewhat 



greyish at base. Hindwing : median series of bars much broken, none of the bars 



contiguous, bar R^ — M' several millimetres distant from base of M', not standing very 

 far from the discal series, bar R- — R^ much more distal than bar R' — R-, the discal 

 interspace, therefore, not half the width between R^ and M' as between C and R-; 

 discal bars mncli less arched than in latona, the posterior ones almost straight, the 

 series not parallel to outer margin of wing, it being slightly curved basad from 

 C — R' and then running nearly straight to SIVP, which it reaches close to anal 

 angle ; postdiscal bars indistinct, represented by blackish, ill-defined, feebly curved 

 lunules, interspace between them and the discal bars tawny outwardly, more yellow 

 proximally; admarginal blackish brown line thin, but well-defined, not touching 

 edge of wing, sometimes interrujited at veins. 



? . Often confounded with the ? of latona. 



Wings, uppermle. Forewing : outer margin more concave than iu latona ; 



median bars SC° — R^ less enlarged than in latona, somewhat more distal ; discal 

 luniform bars more distal than in latona and also much more distal than the discal 

 bars of the underside, which show through, the upper ones more or less enlarged ; 

 postdisco-submarginal patches more triangular than in latona, closer to edge of 

 wing, often fused with the black-brown margin ; marginal line much thinner than in 

 latona, very indistinctly defined, the pale tawny orange colour extending close to the 



fringe at the veins. Hindwing : median bars C— SO" always (?), SC-— R' mostly 



present, bar R' — R- seldom distinctly marked, disc outside these bars often very 

 pale ; discal lunules shining through from below ; there is often a very indistinct, 

 baud-like, dark shade from the inner edge of the upper postdisco-submarginal patches 

 straight to anal angle, corresponding to the black postdiscal band of the underside, 

 this shadowy band sometimes ending iu a conspicuous blackish half-moon at anal 

 angle ; postdisco-submarginal patches closer to margin than in latona, the posterior 

 ones always small, the middle and upper white snbmarginal dots seldom obliterated; 

 admarginal line thin, but well-defined, broken up into slightly arched lunules, the 

 upper ones heavier ; upper tail spatulate, 7 mm. long, second a very short and 

 blunt tooth. 



Underside : discal interspaces of both wings, the greater part of the postdiscal 

 and submediau interspaces of the forewing ochre yellow, median interspace of both 



wings more or less brown ; bars thinner than in latona. Forewing : submediau 



bar M'— M^ always considerably more distal than submediau bar M" — (SM'), and 

 median bar R'— M' much more so than median bar M' — M^ ; discal luniform bars 

 less deeply arched than in latona, more distal in position ; postdisco-submarginal 

 spots much shaded with white scales, consisting generally of a blackish proximal
