absent ; admarginal tawny orange interspace M- — 8M- always well marked, some- 

 times connected along (SM') with the jiostdiscal interspace, the other admarginal 

 interspaces vestigial between veins ; median bars SC^ — R^ generally rather heavj', 

 black, seldom tawny. —  — Hindwing : snbmedian bar C — SG° present, though not 

 heavy ; median bar C — St!- always conspicnons, obliqne, slightly S-shaped ; post- 

 disco-submarginal black ])atches with the white dots generally obsolete, the dots, if 

 better marked, of a bnffish-colonr, not pnre white, patch 80- —R' at least twice the 

 size of patch C — SC-, veins C and SO' often black near these patches, the following 

 three patches, rhomboidal, well separated from one another ; marginal tawny line 

 more clearly defined than in tlie allies of hnhriihn ; edge of wing dentate, n]iper tail 

 3 to :VJ mm. 



Viuleraiihi maize yellow, this colour strongly contrasting with the russet-tawny 

 colour of the median interspaces R^ — M' of forewing, of all the median interspaces 

 of hindwing, the postdiscal interspaces of tlie hindwing and of the small triangular 



patches at the proximal side of the discal lunules of fore- and hindwing. 



Forewing : basal cell-spot always present, heavy; cell-bar 3 heavy, sometimes 

 interrupted ; bar D very heavy ; subbasal bar M- — (SM') sometimes vestigial ; 

 snbmedian bar M' — M" just behind point of origin of IP, or more distal, bar R- — R' 

 barely 1 mm. distant at R' from bar D, often fused with the latter behind ; median 

 liar M' — M- angle-shaped, bar R^ — M' mnch more distal, the median interspace 

 M' — M- barely half the width of median interspace M^ — (SM') ; postdiscal inter- 

 spaces R' — SM- with rather large tawny patches : brown, postdiscal, short streaks 

 upon iuternervular folds, followed by wliite scaling which is distally limited by a 



brown line, of which the partitions between veins are not obviously luniform. 



Hindwing : subbasal interspaces more or less tawny russet ; snbmedian interspaces 

 partly of the same colour, but a spot in cell at cell-bar 4 and interspaces CM — SO 

 mnize-colour ; basal costal bar closer to PC than in the allied species, long, S-shaped, 

 basal cell-spot marked in all sjiecimens ; subbasal, snbmedian and median bars 

 heavy, but costal subbasal bar mostly absent, seldom vestigial ; cell-bar 3 repre- 

 sented by a black dot, which is sometimes absent ; subbasal, snbmedian and median 

 bars M — (resp. M^) — SM^ form continuous zigzag lines ; a black line upon SM- 

 between submedi.in and median bars, another at base of abdominal margin of wing : 

 median bar R' — M' much more distal than the lower end of bar R- — R'' and upper 

 end of bar M' — M*; jwstdiscal interspaces rnsset tawny except at discal Innules : 

 jiostdiscal bars black, arrowhead-shaped ; admarginal interspaces wide, maize- 

 colour ; marginal, tawny, line sharjily defined, scarcely thinner near veins than 

 between. 



? . Differs from the allied species in the same way as the i does. 



Wings above somewhat jialer on disc than in <?. Forewing : discal Innules 



SC — R- not much heavier than the others ; postdiseo-submarginal patches more or 

 less indistinctly sep,T.rated from one another, the veins between them being tawny : 

 admarginal tawny interspaces more obvious than in S , at and between veins; median 



bar R^ — M' more distal than in the allied species, bar R^ — R^ more proximal. 



Hindwing : the wliite submarginal dots within the black postdiseo-submarginal 

 patches all developed, the middle one rather strongly angle-shaped : dark tawny 

 marginal line liroadcr tlian in S : upper tail 8^ to I'iA mm. 



Underside as in c?, but the forewing has the middle discal lunules somewhat 

 more proximal, and the postdiscal interspaces mnch less variegated with tawny 

 russet.
