(?. Wings, vppersitle, tawny or russet tawny, sometimes mncli shaded with 



black. Forewing : upper angle of cell mostly blackish, generally with some 



white scales, which occasionally are so nnmerons as to form a distinct spot ; bar D 

 heavy in front ; median bars SC — R- joined to the black enter area, seldom 

 isolated, and then obsolete, sometimes also joined to bar D, in which case the white ' 

 discal band is, between R^ and SC*-', represented by two or four small spots only ; 

 median bar R- — R^ close to bar D, with which it is often fused, bars R^ — M- always 

 present, arched, the second occasionally small, bars M- — SftP thinner, seldom 

 absent ; discal bars all fused with, or joined to, the black outer area, postdiscal 

 interspaces R' — SM- seldom all marked, then the upper ones minute, more or less 

 white, often only the submedian, double, spot present, seldom all these spots 

 absent ; discal interspace white, or slightly yellowish as a rule, this colour mostly 

 extending a little basad along R' — M', and M-, so that the median bars R' — M^ have 

 in most specimens some white scaling at their proximal side ; seldom are these 

 bars entirely separated from the tawny area ; the white band is distal ly concave 

 between the veins, the veins themselves more or less black within the band, the 

 partitions R^ — M' of the band often less than a third the size of partition M- — SM', 

 the band generally not extending beyond SM'', but in some individuals there is 



white scaling also behind SM^ Hindwing : median bars C — R- more or less 



obvions, with pale tawny or whitish scaling at outside, at least between C and SC^ 

 this scaling palest in the darkest individuals ; postdisco-submarginal jiatches 

 varying in size, patches C — R' large, but generally ill-defined, the black colour 

 extending basad along veins, about as broad as the interspace between them and 

 the median bars, patches R- — SM^ much smaller, separated from one another, the 

 white submarginal dots situated just at their proximal edge or a little within the 

 black patches ; the npper white submarginal dots seldom marked ; admarginal 

 line brown : the disco-marginal area often much shaded with black, the tawuy 

 admarginal interspaces sometimes obsolete ; discal lunules faintly indicated in the 

 darkest examples by dark clouds. 



Underside very constant in general appearance, blackish bistre brown, outer 

 marginal region pale sepia and olive ; sub-basal to median bars conspicuously edged 



with white, no white discal patches. Forewing : median bars R' — SM^ more or 



less angle-shaped, bar R-— R' more proximal than bar R'— M' ; upper postdiscal 



bars replaced by more or less obvions, but ill-defined, spots. Hindwing : discal, 



deeply arched, lunule C — SC' closer to the respective median bar than this is to 

 submedian bar C— SC^ ; upper two or three submarginal dots absent ; upper tail 

 short, triangular, second just indicated. 



?. Wings, upperside darker than in <^. Forewing: interspace between 



median bars SC— M' and cell filled up with black, of the three black patches thus 

 formed the middle one is much shorter than the others, median bar M' — M''' more 

 proximal than the outer edge of the black patch in front of it, also somewhat dilated; 

 discal band extending to internal margin, where it is, however, shaded with tawny ; 

 postdiscal spots R'— SM= generally larger than in S, the npper two or the second 



sometimes absent. Hindwing : median bars C— R' black, the following ones 



down to M' more or less vestigial ; discal bars R'— SM^ marked as dark luniform
