move distal thau spot SC^— R', spots IP— SM- small, the last often vestigial or 

 absent, the series about parallel to outer margin, but spot SC*— R' more proximal ; 

 submarginal series of interstitial spots almost exactly parallel to margin, smaller 

 than postdiscal spots, spot SC*— SC° more often present than absent, all sub- 

 triangular, if large, basally convex or straight, distally rounded ; postdiscal bars in 

 most specimens deeper brown than the rest of the outer area, rounded ; fringe white 



at internervular folds. Hindwing: the white area concave between C and R-, then 



gently convex, reacliing abdominal margin about 4 mm. from tip of SM-, slightly 

 blnish distally, crossing R^ at or before its bent; about midway between white area 

 and margin of wing there is a series of postdisco-submarginal, blackish brown, 

 patches, with the centres less dark, situated between (' and M\ mostly followed by 

 a small spot behind M*, the patches variable in size and distinctness ; a series of 

 admargiual, blackish brown, lunules, the posterior ones generally more or less 

 obviously edged with glaucous blue distally, admarginal interspaces more or less 

 tawny ochraceons between veins ; fringe restricted- white at internervular folds. 



Umlerside : varying in the tint of the ground colour, generally ochreous 

 proximally, more clayish ochraceons distally, but often all clayish ochvaceous, 

 (■louded all over with black scales, apex of cell of forewing, outer area of both wings, 

 especially at discal line, and abdominal area of hindwing more or less glossy ; bars 

 thin, those in basal half very irregular in shape, brownish black, without black 



borders, but on hindwing sometimes glossy. Forewing : cell without basal sjiot, 



cell-bar 2 arched, ends pointing basad resp. upper end costad, bar 3 interrupted, bar 

 4 very irregular, but not very variable, its middle portion more distal and bidentate; 

 bar D very thin, vein D^ varying in length ; two snbmedian bars M'— (SM'), con- 

 tinuous, or nearly so, bar M'— M- concave basally, closer to base of M' than to that 

 of M'; median bars M'— (SM') 2 to 3 mm. distant from snbmedian bars, bar M'— M' 

 angle-shaped, the angle pointing basad, 1 to 2 mm. from base of M', median bar 

 E,3_M' more oblique, to H mm. from bar D, bar R^— R' about 1 to 2 mm. from bar 

 D, bars SC^—R^ generally not continuous, 5 or 6 mm. from apex of cell, bar SO*— SC^ 

 2 or 3 mm. more distal ; discal bars fused to a rather heavy continuous line, or 

 narrow baud, beginning at costal margin 25 mm. from apex, forming a rounded 

 angle between R' and R^, where it is about 11 mm. distant from outer margin, and 

 being parallel to outer margin from R^ to internal edge of wing, the line often 

 bordered distally with clayish grey, somewhat silvery scaling ; a series of black or 

 blackish postdiscal patches or dots, the posterior ones often obsolete, all placed in 

 circular buff patches, which are often quite indistinct ; between discal line and post- 

 discal patches tbere is often an indistinct brown line.- Hindwing : basal costal 



bar arched, pointing distad, not reaching C ; costal subbasal bar absent, subbasal 

 bar C — S(J- absent, or represented by a small dot in angle between C and SC^ sub- 

 basal cell-bar concave basally, followed by a short bar M— (SM') or M— SM^ whicii 

 is often more distal, subbasal bar SM' — SM^ more distal again, its upper end pointing 

 distad and often reaching the upjier end of the respective snbmedian bar : snb- 

 median series of bars also not quite continuous, that within cell forming two angles 

 which point distad ; costal median bar more proximal than median bar C — SC-, the 

 upper part of the latter more distal than the posterior part, bars SC*— R^ gradually 

 a little- more distal, bar R'^ — R' touching R' close to its origin, bar M' — M- before 

 origin of M', bar M'— (SM') 1 or 2 mm. more distal, often joined to snbmedian bar 

 M^— (SM') along (SM'), median bar (SM')— SM= often joined to respective sub- 

 median bar in a similar way ; discal bars fused to a heavv line or narrow band as on
