c? ?. Body as in pollux, but npper.side varying from cbestiint browu to orange 

 tawny. 



S  Wings above similar to those of pollux, basal area varying from chestnut 

 brown to ochraceoas tawny, band better defined than in pollux, its width variable, 



3^ to 5^ mm. at SM- of forewing. Forewing: cell-bar 3 sometimes vestigial, more 



or less obviously showing through from the underside, cell-bar 4 transverse, about 

 2 mm. broad, not reaching M, but posterior part often vestigial ; submedian bars 

 M'— S5P absent or ftiintly vestigial ; median bar M'— SM- mostly absent, sometimes 

 marked as a heavy line, bars W — M" developed to patches which e.xtend often to 

 cell, situated as in Ch. phoebus, median bar R^ — R^ fused with bar D as in pollux, 

 median bars SC'° — R- heavy, sometimes extended basad to cell, bar S('*— SCP 

 also present, elongate ; discal bars SC;' — R- or SC* — R' fused to a heavy triangular 

 patch, bar R' — R^ if isolated very small, bar R^ — R^ often absent, but if present 

 always situated close to median bars SC* — R-, in the darkest iudi\'iduals it is 

 joined to these bars as well as to discal bars SC — R- ; ochraceous rufous or tawny 



admarginal spots large, well defined, rounded proxiraally. Hindwing : tawny 



ochraceous or orange tawny discal band narrowing behind, with a darker tawny 

 outer border ; black postdisco-snbmarginal band almost straight proximally, its 

 inner edge crossing R just at or a little beyond bent of that vein ; pale blue 

 submarginal dots R^ — SM' present, last one largest ; admarginal spots ochraceous 

 rufons or tawny, slightly separated at veins, or contiguous, spot SO- — R' two to 

 four times as wide as the black marginal line, anal one thiu, more or less olive. 



Underside reddish chestnut or ferruginous ; bars nearly as in pollux, somewhat 



wider, especially their silvery white borders. Forewing : median bar R^ — R^ 



seldom separated by a small, short, white, spot from bar D, median bars SC — R- 

 partly obsolete, their white borders fused to a band of even width, about 3 mm. 

 broad, which is joined to the white disco-postdiscal band, median bars R^— M'- very 

 heavy, the upper 5 mm. from base of M' ; discal bars SO' -R' olive, obsolescent, 

 white band sharply defined, 4 to 5 mm. broad at (SM'), 3 mm. at fold R''— M', 

 4 mm. between R- and W, of about even width (2^ mm.) from R- to SC", pinkish 

 posteriorly, separated from the series of black postdiscal spots by a chestnut or 

 orange rufous band, which becomes paler behind, where it is as broad as the white 

 band ; postdiscal bars patch-like, gradually decreasing in size towards costa, patches 

 R' — M- almost touching one another, all bordered white or bluish white distally, 

 the white border of double patch M'- — SM- resembling the number 3, borders 

 R2 — M^ generally also of a similar shape, the black patches being distally slightly 

 sinuate in middle, upper patches more or less transverse, proximal edge of patches 

 SC* — M' sometimes also with thin bnt obvious white border; admarginal interspaces 



larger than above, but more ill-defined. Hindwing : black bars not heavier 



than their white borders, basal costal bar linear ; upper two black submedian
