admarginal spots larger, spots M- — SM^ merged together to one spot, which is 

 somewhat 3-shaped and touches the veins. — Hindwing: pale lilne baud of more 

 even width, being narrower behind, and broader in front than in tavetfnsis, patch 

 S('= — Ri measuring nearlj' 5 mm. in length, while patch R^ — M' is ver)' little over 

 5 mm. long. 



Underside : ground colour more cinnamon, the white patches as well as the red 

 bars near the end of the cell of the hindwing mnch less distinct.

S. Wings shorter and broader than in the other races ; ahore with postdiscal 



macular bands narrow. Forewing : discal spot M' — M- nearer to cell than to 



postdiscal spot ; postdiscal spot M- — SM- proximally incised, distally produced into 

 a short line upon (SM'), somewhat shaped like figure 3, about half as wide again 

 transversely as in basi-distal direction, spot M' — M- convex proximally, somewhat 

 concave distally, diameter about IJ mm., spot at internal margin very variable in 



length ; ])Osterior admarginal spots rather heavier than in the other races. 



Hindwing : postdiscal spots nearly eijual in width, spot C — SC- often small, 

 sometimes obsolete, spots R' — SM- distinctly halfmoon-shaped, all separated from 

 one another, the last ones, however, mostly touching each other. 



Underside more extended drab than in cacuthis. — Forewing : discal bars 

 M' — SM- widely separated from median ones ; cellule M- — SM- mnch shaded with 

 black, with scarcely any or with few white scales at outer side of median bar, 

 the discal bar M^ — SM- very heavy, as iu tacetensis ; cellules R- — M' with n large 



creamy patch, the submarginal bars more or less obliterated. Hindwing : 



discal bars R' — M^ very short. 



?. Wings, above: markings varying individually from white to creamy buff. 

 Forewing : spots smaller than in taceten.ns, discal spots R' — M- as a rule
