j.it spot SC'' — SC often a little inclining costad ; median bars W — M^ in some 

 specimens vestigial, forming the proximal border of the respective patches of the 



band ; admarginal dots, if present, small, all of abont the same size. Hindwing: 



band considerably variable in width, widest in front, bnt often widely bordered 

 with pale glancous blue, in which case the band appears wider in and beyond cell 

 than towards costal margin, stopping at (SM') or nearly reaching abdominal 

 margin, distance of band from outer edge of wing 10 to 11 mm. at SC-, and G to 

 8 mm. at (SM') ; abdominal margin ochraceous ; submarginal spots bine, mostly 

 with white centres, generally only the last two or three present, spots C^R- seem 

 to be always wanting ; admarginal spots absent, or vestigial, or the series more or 

 less complete. 



Underside from base to white band red chestnut or rufous red or reddish 

 cinnamon rufous, from band to outer margin varying from tawny ochraceons to 

 tawny olive, basal to median bars with heavy and clearly defined white borders 

 all round, these bars black, heavy, their centres often more or less extended 

 olivaceous wood brown; veins partly thinly edged with white; band not interrupted. 



Forewing : a white line along costal edge from base to beyond middle ; black 



basal cell-spot absent, cell-bar 4 not or very little angled, at right angles to the 

 veins like the other cell-bars, bar 3 heavier than 4, but often abbreviated and 

 elongate-ovate ; submedian M- — (SM') oblicjue, mostly joined to or fused with 

 median bar M- — (SM'j, submedian bar M'— M- just before base of M', about 1 to 

 2 mm. distant from median bar, both often joined together at M-, the interspace 

 between them sometimes all white ; median bar W — M' abont | or 1 mm. more 

 distal than median bar M' — M^ often slightly inclining basad, bar R= — R^ fnsed 

 with bar D, bars SC^ — R- in the usual place, continnous, but often somewhat broken 

 at veins ; diseal bars SC — R' present, the others absent, but sometimes the rufous 

 scaling which, if they were present, would separate them from the median bars, 

 vestigial also between R^ and M- ; the white or yellowish band is a disco-postdiscal 

 band, the upper two partitions, SC — R', are postdiscal, width of baud as above, 

 rather wider behind ; postdiscal bars represented by a series of black triangular 

 or rounded patches which stand a little nearer the white band than the outer edge 

 of the wing, the posterior patches largest, all bordered at least distally with bluish 

 or huffish white scales which form generally a heavy M between M- and SM- ; veins 



with black, ill-defined spots at ends, and pale ones between. Hindwing : costal 



edge thinly white ; basal costal bar separate from veins, but often touching costal 

 line ; snbbasal bar C — SC absent, seldom vestigial ; submedian costal bar at right 

 angles to costal margin or inclining distad, 1 to IJ mm. from base of PC, bar 

 C — SC inclining distad, often touching cell-bar 2, more distal at C than costal 

 submedian bar, reaching SC- at or before base of R' ; cell-bar 4 in front of base 

 of M=, anteriorly prolonged along D- and D', mostly joined along R- to bar W ; 

 median costal bar generally inclining basad, the series of median bars widely 

 interrupted at veins, but almost straight down to (SM'), bar R-— R^ fnsed with 

 bar D^; longitudinal lines upon abdominal fold heavy, line SM- — SM' continuous 

 distally with line SM- ; white diseal baud more or less narrowing abdominad, 

 reaching abdominal margin, generally with some rufous scales anteriorly (and often 

 also between R- and R^) at the outer side of the median bars, these scales then 

 separating the white border of the bars from the band, width of band variable ; 

 diseal bars C — R' absent, the following ones also often absent, but those beyond 

 M- generally marked, bordered white distally, placed at the outer edge of the
