separating the orange postdiscal band into spots, jiartition W — R' of the same 

 width as respective partition of black band, the preceding ones gradnally somewhat 

 smaller ; orange admarginal spots becoming smaller costad, posterior ones about 

 half the width of the black band, the spots separated by the black veins, spots 



M^ — SM^ fused, but incised distally upon (SM'). Hindwing : ochraceous 



orange, discal band better defined than in pnllur, median bar 0— SO' and 

 bar D vestigial ; postdisco-submarginal black band proximally convex between 

 veins, distally slightly produced into points between veins, partition C— SC^ 

 narrower than the others, the band only 5| mm. at widest point, last partition 

 almost isolated, including one minute and another larger pale bine subinarginal 

 dot ; admarginal interspaces dark orange, separated by the rather thinly black 

 veins, upper interspaces widest, measuring 4 to 5 mm. before SC^ anal one narrowest, 

 li mm. broad, somewhat ochreous ; black marginal line as in drticeanus. 



Underside olive russet ; bars very much thinner than in pollux, white band 

 of fore- and hindwing much better defined distally than in pollux, except from 



M- to internal margin of forewing (where the band is pinkish). Forewin" : 



cell-bar 3 half the width (white border included) of olive rnsset interspace following 

 it, black cell-bar 4 a very thin line ; median bar R^ — ^M' 5 mm. from base of M', bar 

 R- — R' partly separate from bar D, bars SC^ — R' obsolete, bar W — R- thin, olive 

 luniform, bright olive russet spots at outer side of median bars R'' — M- as wide 

 as bars inclusive white border ; discal bars SC" — M' present, represented by rather 

 ill-defined spots situated in middle of white band, bar SC* — SC obliterate ; 

 postdiscal band following white band gradually narrowing costad, a little more 

 ochraceous than basal area ; postdiscal black spots smaller than clayish ochraceous 

 admarginal ones, spots SC^ — SC'' and R- — M' very short and thin, almost obsolete, 



transverse, linear, only spots M- — SM^ triangular, these two almost separate. • 



Hindwing : basal costal bar a dot ; black lines with white borders of abdominal fold 

 scarcely half the width of interspaces in middle ; median bar M' — M- longer than 

 in pollux, bar M^ — (SAP) more distal than in that species ; discal abdominal bar 

 as in pollux, but thinner ; postdiscal baud russet, ochreous be3'ond M'-*, somewhat 

 incised at veins C — R' ; postdiscal black bars very thin, halfmoon-shaped, bordered 

 white as in pollux, but less heavily, last bar forming with snbmarginal one a 

 ring-shaped patch which is well separated from the edge of the wing ; snbmarginal 

 bars also very thin, partly vestigial only ; snbmarginal interspaces shaped as in 

 pollux, but clayish bistre brown ; admarginal interspaces clayish tawny ochraceous, 

 ochreous beyond M', posterior ones wider than on upperside ; marginal line very 

 thin in front ; dentition of wing nearly as in pollux, bnt tooth M' shorter than 

 teeth R' and R-, tail R^ 5 mm, tail M^ 4 mm. 



?. Larger than c?. Discal baud of forewing aiofs paler, median bars R^ — M^ 

 rounded, bar R^ — R^ separated from bar D, admarginal spots halfmoon-shaped, 



being concave proximally. Hindwing: discal band cream colonr, shar{)ly defined, 



extending to abdominal margin, .5i mm. broad at S('-,of about even wi<lth from 

 SC- to M^, followed by a tawny orange band, whicli is narrower than in c? ; black 

 postdisco-submarginal band 7 mm. broad between SC^ and R", proximally less convex 

 between veins, black colour somewhat produced basad upon veins, anal patch only 

 3J mm. wide; admarginal spots somewhat paler than in (?,also somewhat narrower, 

 especially tlie posterior ones, anal one almost cream-colour ; black marginal line 

 about 1 mm. broad. 



Underside as in (? ; postdiscal black spots of forewing a little less linear
