tj. Hindwing produced into a heavy tooth at R' ; the snbmarginal interstitial, 

 white, spots of the underside of the forewing rounded, at least 1 mm. wide ; black 



discal bars C — R' of hindwing well-marked within brown band. Wings above ; 



black band at end of cell not continued to M-, median bar M' — M^ seldom vestigial ; 

 postdiscal interstitial spots variable in size and number, dot R' — M' is always the 

 last to disappear ; black disco-marginal baud 7 mm. broad at M\ .5 to 6 mm. at 



SM''. Hindwing : median band shining through from below, but not marked by 



brown scales. 



Underside. Fiirewing : black discal bars mostly all marked, median bars 



SC* — R'' also vestigial ; white postdiscal spots R^— SM" mostly about equal in 

 width, but spot R^ — M' sometimes wider, spot M^ — SM^ 2 mm. wide ; submarginal 

 white spots all comparatively large, spots SC^ — R^ larger than the following ones, 



at least 1 mm. broad, spot St> — SC° ovate, not concave distally, 3 mm. long. 



Hindwing : series of black discal bars and their white outer borders straight or 

 nearly so ; submarginal interstitial white spots variable in size, sjjots SC" — M' in 

 a straight line, or spots R'— M' a little more distal than spots SC — R'' ; line on 

 tail continuous with anal admarginal spots ; distance from point of origin of M- 

 to end of tail 24 to 25 mm. 



? . Wings above. Forewing : cell-bar 4 absent ; bar D thin ; median bars 



SC*5— R2 isolated ; discal bar R'— M' 6 mm. from outer margin, about I^ mm. 

 thick, continuous with the other discal bars, bar M^— SM^ vestigial, nearly 5 mm. 

 from outer margin ; postdiscal interspaces R-— SM- merged together, the veins not 

 being black ; black i)Ostdisco-marginal band 3 mm. broad before 11', 2 mm. before 



SMI Hindwing : whitish postdiscal lunules SC— M^ vestigial ; admarginal 



interstitial, linear, spot SO*— R' absent, spot R'— R^ thin. 



Underside \ black discal bars present on both wings. Forewing : cell with 



a tiny white dot near base which almost separates cell-bar 2 from the brown basal 

 scaling ; cell-bar 4 separated from bar D by a white interspace which is as broad 

 as the bars ; postdiscal white interspaces R'— SM'' nearly equal in width, interspace 

 R3 — M' a little wider than the others, measuring 4 mm. ; submarginal interstitial 

 spots R' — SM- gradually decreasing in size, spot R' — R- ovate. Hindwing :
