ronnded at ends, bar 4 inclusive white border at least as hroad as apical interspace 

 of cell ; submediau and median bars M' — SIVP close together, mostly merged 

 together, median bar R'— M' about 2| mm. from base of M', bar R^— 11' jnst in 

 front of it, separated from bar D, which latter is much wider in front than behind, 

 or touching it, bars SC — R^ fused to a short broad band, which is only 5 mm. 

 from base of R° and measures 3 mm. in width (incl. white border) ; white discal 

 band generally with a rufous ochraceous spot between Stl^ and R', often with a 

 smaller spot before S(f and a third before R' ; at the outer edge of the band 

 stands a series of olive black spots SC* — M^ representing the discal bars, the band 

 divided by the veins into square patches from R^ to SM" ; jiostdiscal ochraceous 

 intersjiaces triangular, or partly halfmoon-sha])ed, touching with tips the postdiscal 

 black spots of which the last ones are large and the upper ones sometimes absent, 

 these spots rounded distally, concave or straight proximally, interspaces between 

 them and submarginal interspaces all olive grey, this scaling often slightly glossy 

 at edges of spots, forming a ring or half- ring round the spots ; admarginal interspaces 

 as above separated by olive grey scaling which changes into black scaling at 



extremities of veins. Hindwing : basal costal bar long, reaching from base of 



C to end of PC, curving distad at end, often distinctly S-shaped ; no subbasal bar 

 C — SC- ; costal submedian bar oblique, posteriorly close to PC, bar C — SC- a 

 little more distal, touching SC" just between cell-bars 2 and 4 ; submedian bar 

 M^ — SM' beginning just before point of origin of M^ longitudinal ; median bars 

 <J — M'^ almost continuous, costal bar more proximal, with a brown red spot at 

 outside, bar R^ — R^ fused with bar D (or absent?), bar R^ — M' absent, liar 

 M-— (SM') much more distal, about 10 mm. from base of M-, close to discal 

 abdominal bar ; black lines upon abdominal fold inclusive white borders wider 

 than their brown red interspaces ; white discal band broadest at C, gradually 

 narrowing to M-, the white interspace at abdominal margin between transverse 

 median and discal bars joined to the baud ; besides the discal liars beyond M^, 

 which are fused to one line, there is a short and heavy bar R- — R^ at outer edge 

 of band ; postdiscal brown red interspaces triangular, pointing distad, except 

 interspace M' — M^, bordered by olive grey lines distally which form acute angles 

 upon and between veins ; postdiscal bars represented by olive scaling at the distal 

 points of these angles, but bar M- — SM- black ; last postdiscal interspaces M- — SM- 

 pale ochreous, forming one long narrow halfmoon ; submarginal bars transverse, 

 black, ratlier thin, separate, last three or four somewhat 1 uniform, being concave 

 proximally, last two fused together, all the submarginal bars with blue or bluish 

 scaling at proximal side, this scaling more blue and more extending between R' 

 and SM-, with minute white submarginal dots ; admargiual interspaces more or 

 Jess ochraceous, with creamy white scaling at veins, posterior interspaces more 

 greenish than yellow, anal one greenish olive buff, sometimes the ochraceous colour 

 reduced to subrotundate spots ; two tails, second longer than lirst. 



?. Like cJ, larger, disco-postdiscal baud of ujiperside paler, basal area less 

 bright, upi)er tail comparatively longer ; abdomen l)elow brown in middle, edges 

 of segment white, this scaling widened at sides.
