i'. S, hindwing above with the admarginal line feebly marked, tawny, or, if 



black, interi-npted at the veins, penis without a lateral patch of teeth 



or this ])atch is on the left side ; ?, postdisco-admarginal patches of 



forewing above more or less merged together, at least the upper ones. 



«". c?, postdiscal tawny interspace R' — 11^ of forewing above at least as large 



as the black (or tawny) bar standing at its proximal side, or 



the tawny interspaces W — M' small bnt present and both tails 



developed; ?, discal l)ar R' — R- of forewing above not mnch 



heavier than posterior discal bars, much closer to outer margin 



than to median bar R' — R^, or, if heavy, the hindwing with two 



tails and the median interspaces SC'^ — R^ not black, ilarmax

cJ ? . Underside of palpi, and middle of pro- and of anterior portion of meso- 

 sternum, almost pure white ; sides of sterna of the colour of the wings ; underside 

 of abdomen often slightly paler. 



c?. 1Vin(/», ujjjjers/de : markings tawny, not black, which gives the wings a 



uniform ajipearauce. Forewing: median bars R^ — M' mostly marked, bar R- — M' 



mostly angle-shaped, bars SC** — R' heavier, darker, the upper of the two oblic^ne, 

 forming an angle-shaped spot together with the streak-like bar SC* — SC" ; discal 

 bars luniform, the posterior ones often ill-defined, washed out, lunule R^ — M' 

 7 to 9 mm. from edge of wing (between veins), ujjper bars widened basail and also 

 more or less broadly connected along the veins with the brown postdisco-submarginal 

 patches ; of the latter the middle ones often reach the edge of the wing, patches 

 R' — SM" about as wide as, or smaller than, the interspaces between them and the 



discal lunnles. Hindwing : outer area from edge of wing as far as the postdiscal 



bars, which shine through from below, darker tawny orange than the rest of the wing, 

 costal margin somewhat whitish ; median bar C — SC^ straight, or slightly arched, 

 often faintly marked, median bar ISC' — R' mostly absent, sometimes vestigial : 

 postdisco-submarginal patches all small, the postdiscal portions (pro.ximal of the 

 white dots) obliterated, except between C and R^ wliere they are more or less clearly 

 marked, sometimes nearly all the patches reduced to minute spots, the last two dots 

 more black than the others ; admarginal line separated into lunnles, mostly rather 

 clearly defined, seldom shadowy ; tails reduced to short teeth. 



Underside varying from orange ochraceous rnfous to yellowish ochraceons ; 



bars tawny or ochraceous tawny, postdiscal series of hindwing mostly slaty black. 



Forewing : costal margin to a little beyond apex of cell white ; basal dot of cell 

 absent, cell-bar :\ never entire, broken up into dots, the dots, however, often all 

 fused together, sometimes the posterior dots obliterat<'d, the bar, if nearly entire, 

 heavier than the other cell-bars, cell-bar 4 often straight, reaching M at or before, 

 never distally of, point of origin of M' ; median bars R" — SM* stand in an oblique, 

 almost continnous, series, bar R- — -R' exactly (or almost) in front of bar R-^ — M' : 

 the discal inters))acos narrowing behind : white submarginal scaling band-like, the
