fringe white, except at ends of veius. Hiudwiug : a bluish white patch, which is 



more white liehind than in front, extends from R' to abdominal fold, is 6 to 8 mm. 

 broad behind ]{', and \2 to 14 at M", it stops proxinially mostly at D', bnt apex 

 of cell generally with some blnish white scaling, and reaches behind cell to base 

 of M'-, onter edge of patch incised at U-, and often also at R^, mostly slightly 

 concave between posterior veins ; the patch is preceded bj' a rounded or elongate 

 spot in front of R', this spot seldom contiguous with the jiatch ; before SC" we find 

 one discal and one postdiscal spot, either of the two often absent, sometimes both 

 wanting ; black outer area gradually narrowing beliind, 4 to 6 mm. broad at M', 

 7 to 8 mm. at 11- ; a complete series of pale blue submarginal spots, well-marked, 

 but spot C — S(7 occasionally absent, more or less rounded, posterior ones sometimes 

 transverse, mostly with minute white centres ; admai-ginal interstitial spots yellow 

 or yellow butt', transverse, pointing distad at ends, often sliaded with blue in 

 middle, or interrupted, posterior ones mostly touching each other at veins, no such 

 spot before SC'% spot SC- — R' also often absent ; fringe creamy white between 

 veins ; abdominal fold dirty white, clayish distally, often somewhat bluish in 

 centre, base mostly blackish, long hairs in front of it black in basal two-fifths, then 

 dirty white. 



Underside pale tawny olive, with a gallstone yellow tint, bars individually 



variable in thickness. Forewing : discal interspaces yellowish at outside of 



median bars, cell often of the same yellow tint ; basal cell-bar often indicated by 

 an obscure dot, cell-bar 2 nearly straight, 3 slightly curved, occasionally interrupted, 

 bar 4 mostly distinctly curved twice in costal half : bar D thin, but complete ; 

 submedian bars 1 to 2 mm. apart, bar M' — M- proximal of base of M', but 

 distal of lower end of cell-bar 4, submedian bars and upper cell-bar with a 

 thin bluish white distal border, besides the normal bluish white jiroximal border, 

 cell-bars 2 and 3 with distinct bluish white border at both sides ; median 

 bars R^ — SM- concave distally, sometimes angle-shaped, the bars generally 

 touching each other, forming an oblique series, bars M'^ — SM- mostly fused 

 together either to a single halfmoon, or to a marking which resembles the 

 number 3, 5 to T mm. distant at (SM') from discal lunule, median bars R' — R' 

 1 to 2 mm. from cross-veins, the upper of the two often vestigial or absent ; discal 

 bars M' — SM" distinct, black, regularly arched, the other discal bars vestigial or 

 absent, forming the proximal borders of a series of postdiscal interstitial spots, of 

 which the upper two are white, the others ochreous yellow, and which are situated 

 as on iipperside ; postdiscal bars M' — SM- represented by black spots, the other 

 postdiscal bars not often vestigial, spots M- — SM- merged together to a large patch 

 which is incised distally upon (SM'), and has a conspicuous, pale Idue, outer border 

 which resembles the number 3, patch M' — M- also more or less obviously bordered 

 blue distally ; admarginal interspaces ill-defined, wax yellow ; marginal dots butt', 

 often obsolete, internal area (or part of it) from (SM') to internal margin 



often fuscous. Hindwing : bars thinner than on forewing, sometimes ])artly 



obsolete ; costal snbl)asal bar at outer side of PC mostly absent, costal submedian 

 bar always in front of subbasal bar C — SC", either straight or pointing distad ; 

 costal median bar a very little more proximal than median bar C — SC^, or just in front 

 of it ; discal bar SC' — R' generally only 1 mm., seldom 2 mm., more proximal than 

 bar C — SC^ ; admarginal gallstone yellow interstitial markings paler at veins, 

 shaded with olive bntt' between veins, especially the posterior ones, anal one all 

 olive butt'; white submarginal dots mostly all present, followed by blue ones
