angle of cell, bars SO^ — R^ mostl}' concave proximally, 8 mm. from cell, gronad of 

 wing at outer side of median bars grej'ish or ecru drab, bluish grey between M^ and 

 SM^, this pale scaling forming ill-defined patches ; discal series of bars represented 

 by two black Innules between M' and SIVP, the other discal bars seldom vestigial ; 

 postdiscal bars M' — SM'' developed to two large black patches, patch M'' — SIVP 

 incised outwardly upon (SM'), both patches bordered outwardly by very pale blue 

 scaling, border of double patch M^ — SM'^ extending basad to near the discal bars, 

 resembling the number 3i the other postdiscal patches obsolete, but their pale outer 

 borders fused with the postdiscal, luniform, pale interspaces to more or less complete 

 rings, postdiscal interspaces M' — SM' wax yellow ; submarginal l)ars M' — SM^ 



generally vestigial. Hiudwing : paler than forewing, bars thinner ; basal costal 



bar short, curved, reaching PC at or before angle of this vein ; subbasal costal bar 

 absent, subbasal bars C — M continuous ; submedian costal bar a little more proximal 

 than the other submedian bars, these almost continuous down to (SM'), the bars 

 almost straight, submedian interspace ecru drab, nearly white; median bars nearly 

 continuous, standing in an almost straight line which crosses M at base of M', 

 proximal half or two-thirds of discal interspaces occupied by a distally ill-defined 

 band of ecru drab colour ; discal bars thin, mostly vestigial or absent, bordered 

 by white Innules at outer side, bars SC" — R' and R' — M' much more proximal 

 than the others ; postdiscal bars also curved, generally vestigial, seldom quite 

 absent ; postdiscal interspaces varying from tawny olive to olive buff ; submarginal 

 black dots vestigial between R'^ and SM', last two always present, minute, the 

 white submarginal dots also more or less vestigial ; admargiual interspaces olive 

 tawny, mostly bluish white at veins ; submarginal and abdominal areas ecru drab ; 

 tails ])ointed, upper one 2^ to 5 mm. long, second a short tooth. 



? . Wings, upper side : burnt umber colour in basal area, outer area more 



blackish, especially on hiudwing, with a purplish tint. Forewing : three series of 



spots, cream colour or white; four discal patches from R^ to internal margin, patches 

 R^ — M'^ isolated, ol'lique, convex proximally, often concave distally, patch M- — SM^ 

 triangularly sinuate jaroximally at (SM'), about 4 mm. broad at M^, often with pale 

 blue scaling at proximal, less often at distal, edge, contiguous with long patch at 

 internal margin, discal patch R^ — R^ close to cell, spots SC — R^ halfway between 

 cell and postdiscal series, spot SC — SC^ thin, linear, the two others about 4 mm. 

 long, all separated, placed in an oblique row, proximal edge of spot SC* — R' 

 2 to 4 mm. more distal than proximal edge of spot R' — R- ; postdiscal spots nearly 

 placed as in <?, but second and third farther from margiu, spot at internal margin, 

 if present, fused with the discal patch, pustdiscal spots more yellowish distally than 

 proximally or all white; admarginal spots small, all separate, nearly touching fringe. 



Hindwing: a milky white discal band, about 6 mm. broad in front, tapering 



behind, reaching abdominal margin at a distance of 4 mm. from end of SM^ ; 

 basally the band is bordered by jiale blue scaling between SC" (or R') and (SM'), 

 this scaling consisting of the upper layer of scales extends basad as far as origin 

 of M- or a little farther down, distally the band has a narrower pale blue border; 

 between C and R' or R^ there are mostly two or three white postdiscal spots 

 more or less distinctly separated from the white band ; a series of white submarginal 

 spots edged with pale blue, upper three white spots the longest, but the posterior 

 spots have wider blue borders; admarginal interstitial spots transverse, triangularly 

 dilated distad at veins, creamy at veins, buff in middle, anal one thin, bine. 



Underside: more yellowish than in cj, white markings better defined,
