• if bars jialer orange ; postdiscal bars heavj-, halfmoon-sliaped, continuous, joined 

 alous %eins to the thin, transverse, submarginal bars, isolating transverse, linear or 

 ovate, pale orange spots, upper ones of these spots often absent ; admarginal black 

 line continuous ; admarginal pale orange interspaces continuous, very seldom 

 interrupted between M' and M-, shaded with olive buff at anal angle ; fringe 

 white between veins. 



Underside, discal interspace SC— R' proximally, i)ostdiscal interstitial spots 

 SC^ — R' of forewing, snbmedian interspace C — St^-', a spot in cell, abdominal 

 area, proximal part of discal interspaces, and some postdiscal and submarginal 

 spots of hiudwing silvery white, apical half of forewing and submarginal area of 



hindwing mure or less shaded over with silvery grey ; veins green. Forewing : 



pale rufons, ape.^c down to R' olive or cinnamon, bars short bnt heavy ; no basal 

 cell-spot, cell-bar 2 mostly abbreviated anteriorly with a black si)ot in front before 

 C, bar 3 abbreviated posteriorly, mostly reduced to a dot at SC which is often 

 followed by a smaller dot, cell-bar 4 and bar D as above ; snbmedian bars heavier 

 than above ; median ones rather thinner, bars SC — R' mnch smaller than bars 

 R3_]y[2 . a discal series of thin bars from SC^— SM-, posterior ones vestigial, bar 

 Ri — R2 more distal than the others, generally with a rnfons spot at ontside, while 

 bars R^ — M' are more or less obviously bordered white ; the series followed by 

 postdiscal bars of which bars M^ — SM- are heavy, transverse, while the others are 



vestigial ; admarginal mfous interspaces isolated, njiper ones minute. -Hindwing: 



olive to cinnamon ; basal, snbmedian and median costal bar short, dot-like, basal 

 one widely separated from PC" ; snbbasal bar C— SC- a dot ; cell-bars 2 and 4 joined 

 together, their hinder portions forming a ring which is filled np with silvery white, 

 middle fold of cell black, this line connecting all the bars ; snbmedian bar C — SC- 

 concave proximally, about 3 mm. from base of R', subbasal and snbmedian bars 

 M^— SM^ generally merged together to two rings with white centres, no subbasal and 

 snbmedian bars SM^— SM', but two separate bars often present behind SM^ ; median 

 bar SC- — R' mnch more proximal than the median bars before and behind it, bar 

 R'— M' more distal than bar R=— R", bar M-'— (SM') 2 to 3 mm. distant from 

 bar M'— M-, bars (SM')— SM' reaching SM' near, or at, its end ; discal, postdiscal, 

 submarginal, and admarginal bars rather close together, thin, transverse, postdiscal 

 interspace SC- — R' larger than the others, white, the other postdiscal interspaces 

 rufons ochraceous, but interspace R'— M' often white ; submarginal interspaces 

 pinkish white, posterior ones wider than upjier ones, submarginal bars mostly 

 bordered white distally, upon these white borders follow the admarginal bars, which, 

 however, are often absent ; admarginal interspaces rufous ochraceous ; marginal 

 line black, partly glossy grey ; internervular folds in distal and abdominal areas 

 deeper in tint than ground of wing ; outer margin scalloped, tails thin, triangular, 

 acute, 3 to 4 mm. 



?. Larger than S, hindwing much less triangular, apex of forewing less 

 produced. Wings above paler, being ochraceous with a slight reddish orange tone ; 

 black markings the same, but the submarginal and admarginal interstitial spots 

 rather larger. Underside as in c?, slightly paler, the silvery markings comparatively 

 smaller, the grey scaling reduced ; tails slender, somewhat longer than in c^, upper 

 one less jwinted. 



Length of forewing : i, 23 — 27 mm. 

 ¥,2(5-33 mm. 



Clasiier rather broad at the end, which is so twisted that the inner surface is
