bars SC — R^ more distal, dilated, each more or less convex proximally, concave 

 distally, often joined to bar D as well as to discal bar R-— R^, iu which case the 

 interspaces are more or less isolated and reduced in size ; a complete series of black 

 discal patches, representing the discal bars, the series parallel to outer margin, but 

 turning costad at RS the patches contiguous, each convex proximally, concave 

 distally, patch R.' — W the smallest, all joined along veins (except (SM')) to the 

 postdisco-snbmargiual band, thus isolating a series of seven tawny ochreous, post- 

 discal, interstitial spots, of which the posterior ones are the largest ; edge of wing 

 blackish brown, the admarginal interspaces pale tawny, but not always clearly 

 marked ; the postdisco-submargiual black band widest in front ; the discal and 



postdiscal interspaces in the St. Thome race small or only vestigial. Hindwing : 



basal to discal bars more or 'less showing through from underside ; a postdisco- 

 snbmarginal black baud, widest between SC^ and R' (at least 9 mm.), suddenly 

 narrower from R- or R^ to M^ often interrupted at vein M', including a series of 

 tawny ochreous, seldom whitish, snbmarginal interstitial spots, which stand either 

 in tlie middle of the band or nearer its outer edge ; postdiscal bars M- — SM'- thin, 

 curved, followed each by a white line, between which and the respective sub- 

 marginal bars, which are represented by two spots, there is more or less obvious 

 pale blue scaling ; admarginal interspaces tawny, upper ones more orange tawny, 

 seldom suffused with black, anal one olive buff, no distinct marginal line. 



Underside : the naked veins and costal edge of forewing conspicuously green ; 



bars black. Forewing : buff or clayish buff, slightly ochreous ; basal half of 



costal edge before C with rows of white scales, otherwise scaleless ; basal cell-spot 

 present, bars linear, bar 3 the heaviest, about f mm. thick, its upper end a little 

 hook-shaped, that of bar 4 more strongly so ; submedian and median bars M- — SM- 

 seldom vestigial at M', bars M'— M'^ parallel, thin, at right angles to veins, about 

 2J mm. distant from each other, submedian one (seldom absent) behind base of M' 

 or a little more distal ; median bar R'' — M' more distal than the one behind it, bar 

 R2 — R' separate from bar D, but the interspace between them brownish, bars 

 SC — R' forming a continuous or a broken line ; discal bars concave distally, the 

 series continuous, convex from SC to R', then rnnning obliquely to SM^ which is 

 reached 6 mm. from tip, while at R' the series is 10 mm. distant from outer margin, 

 posterior bars heavier than the upper ones, the discal bars form the outer edge of a 

 band of nearly even width, the band varies from walnut brown to russet, changes 

 posteriorly generally into blackish brown, its upper two thirds are occasionally 

 cinnamon or almost obsolete ; a series of brown postdiscal spots, parallel to discal 

 series of lunules, approaching it a little behind, distance between the two series 

 about 4 or 5 mm., spot SC*— SC" developed to a patch, last sjjot large, fused with 

 the snbmarginal bar ; series of thin, inconspicuous, snbmarginal bars parallel to 

 outer margin, snbmarginal interspaces huffish grey, more bluish grey behind, a 



bluish grey dash or spot within black patch M" — SM-. Hindwing: sepia colour or 



russet sepia, snbmarginal area drab ; bars thin, basal costal bar ])ointing distad, no 

 costal subbasal bar, the subbasal series extending from C to SM' ; submedian series 

 irregular but continuous from costal margin to M, with creamy white scaling at 

 proximal side, which scaling forms generally a conspicuous spot before and another 

 in cell, submedian bar M' — M", if present, close to base of M", bar M= — (SM') distal 

 of base of M', about at right .angles to veins, while bar (SM') — SM^ is oblique and 

 often joins the respective subbasal bar at SM", bar SM" — SM'^ does not extend to 

 SM', it curves basad anteriorly and joins the respective subbasal one, forming a kind
