W — R' stands closer to cell, aud spots SC — R', often partly absent, are placed at 

 ^ of the way from cell to ajiex of wing ; and an outer, postdiscal, series of 4 or 5 

 spots running ajiicad but curving costad at SC, spot S(_'* — S('° often absent ; a 

 series of submarginal dots, Ijecoraing minute or obsolete costad, the last three 



always present. Hindwing : an almost straight discal band, which is pale in 



front, extends from costal margin to M- or (SM"), its inner edge crosses M at origin 

 of M', its width variable according to locality ; a series of small white or yellowish 

 submarginal spots, the last two with some blue or olive bntf scaling at outside ; 

 adraarginal spots maize yellow or creamy, narrow upon internervular folds or 

 divided into triangular spots, spot C — SC- always absent, often also the next (ine, 

 the last one or ones mostly olive buff. 



Underside : ecru drab or fawn colour, the outer region sometimes deejier drab 



colour or shaded with tawny olive, bars black. Forewing : cell-bar 1 absent, 2 a 



dot, 3 represented by two spots or complete, 4 nearly straight or angled ; bar D 

 not, or little, dilated in front ; snbmedian bar not distal of base of M', generally 

 midway lietween bases of M' and M-, snbmedian bar R' — M' absent; median bars 

 R' — SM- at right angles to veins (or nearly so), bar M' — M^ sometimes arched, 

 bar R^ — R' in front of R' — M' or more proximal, bars SC^ — R- at nearly J the way 

 from cell to apex of wing, discal interspaces at outer side of median -bars with 

 creamy white or pale yellow patches, which are jiartly absent in some forms ; discal 

 bars more or less arched, bars S(!* — M' forming the proximal border of postdiscal 

 spots, which correspond in size and position to those of the upperside, discal bar 

 R^ — M' sometimes very close to median one, with the interspace between of the 

 ground colour ; the creamy or pale yellow patches M' — SM- represent the discal and 

 postdiscal ones fused together, sometimes patch M' — M- divided by a Inniform 

 discal bar into a discal and postdiscal portion ; submarginal bars represented by 

 black spots, of which spots M^ — SM^ form a large double patch, contiguous with 

 this series (and marked even if the submarginal spots are obsolete) is a series of 

 chrome yellow or deep chrome spots which are larger than the lilack sulimarginal 

 spots and gradually decrease in size costad ; the submarginal patches M' — SM^ 

 with creamy scaling at outside which forms a spot between M- aud SM- which 



resembles the figure 3. Hindwing : subbasal costal bar and basal cell-spot 



absent ; snbmedian series stopping at (SM'), crossing M at, or close to, base of M- ; 

 median series somewhat irregular, but nearly straight from costal margin to R^, 

 bars M- — SM- about at right angles to (SM'), the series reaching M at or a little 

 beyond base of M- ; veins SM- and SM^ sometimes partly black ; discal interspaces 

 in most forms with creamy white patches at median bars ; discal bars thin, arched, 

 Innnle R^ — M' more proximal, R- — R^ more distal, than the others, hence the series 

 angled at R^ ; the discal Innules followed at 1 to 2 mm. distance by a series of 

 chrome yellow or red halfmoons, of which the second is sometimes obsolete ; these 

 halfmoons are contiguous with the black postdiscal bars, which are obliterated iu 

 some forms ; white submarginal dots C — R- sometimes obsolete, black sulimarginal 

 liars linear, with blue sjiots at proximal side, the bars contiguous with yellow or 

 olive bufi' admarginal interspaces which are paler at veins : tails acute, second at 

 least as long as first. 



?. Like tJ, but larger, wings broader, tails longer and less pointed, the first 

 longer than second, creamy white or yellow marking wider. 



Length of forewing : <S, 30—40 mm. 

 „ „ ?, 34 — 48 mm.
