spots are smaller ; the black marginal line of the hindwing is heavier between 

 the veins, the veins within the orange band of the hindwing above are blackish. 

 The ? ? have the band of the npperside yellowish ; the admarginal halfmoous 

 of the hindwing are contiguous, shaded with tawny ; admarginal line heavier 

 between veins ; the tawny resp. blackish discal and postdiscal bars of both wings 

 below rather sharply defined, the discal ones especially more strongly marked than 

 in the individuals from other places, the discal tawny ochraceons halfraoon-shaped 

 bars of the hindwing separated by pale buff spots from the chocolate tawny 

 postdiscal band of bars, which shows obvious vestiges of black scaling at the 

 discal edge. 



p. Admarginal spots of hindwing large, halfmoon-sbaped, several mm. distant 

 from edge of wing.

? . Bodi/ above : thorax olive bistre, palpi, head and pronotum more raw umber 

 colour, abdomen mummy brown ; dots on head and pronotum obliterated. 



Underside drab grey, palpi, middle of pro- and mesosternum, and abdomen 

 more creamy white. 



Wings, upperside ; blackish mummy brown, slightly purplish, basal area of 

 forewing Vandyke brown, of hindwing Front's brown, abdominal fold shading into 



wood brown. Forewing : a large patch in apex of cell purplish black, submedian 



bar M' — M^ vestigia], broad, median bars traceable, represented by large purplish 

 black patches which are slightly deeper black than the rest of the mediano-marginal 

 area ; a triangular patch at base of cellule R^ — M', a short streak behind R- about 

 4 mm. from cell, a double patch SC'*'' — R- about 2 mm. from npper angle of cell, 

 cream colour ; two discal spots SC^ — R'^ almost white, and a band of postdiscal spots 

 white, this band extends from SC^ to internal margin, widening posteriorly, the 



spots all separate ; four admarginal patches R^ — SM" creamy white. Hindwing : 



a creamy white discal band as prolongation of the band of the forewing, narrowing 

 behind, divided by the brown veins into patches, shaded with brown behind M-, its 

 inner edge broken at R^ ; an admarginal series of creamy white halfmoons from C 

 to M- several mm. from edge of wing ; submargiual dots, spots liP — SM- very small 

 bluish white, no other submargiual spots. 



Underside : pale clay colour, markings not sharply defined. Forewing ; no 



basal cell-spot, cell-bar 2 obliriue, thin, cell-bar 3 thicker behind, less obliijue, cell-bar 

 4 thin, slightly undulate, nearly at right angles to veins; bar D very thin; submedian 

 and median bars M-— SM- fused to a large brownish black patch, submedian bar 

 M'— M- distal of base of M^, heavy, like the median bar M'— M^, no submedian bar 

 R' — M' ; median bar R'— M' rather obscure, 8 mm. from base of M', bar R^— R^ 

 close to cell, indistinct, bars SC^ — R- in their usual place (at one-third the way from 

 cell to apex of wing), also not clearly marked ; discal bars SC* -R' marked as 

 slight clouds, bars R' — M^ scarcely traceable as proximal borders of the creamy 

 white patches ; series of postdiscal patches as above, wider behind, less clearly 

 defined ; postdiscal bars R' — SM- represented by purplish black patches, submedian
