brown baod ; submarginal black bars transverse, thin, posterior ones merged 

 together with the jiostdiscal bars to black spots with white, or bine and white, 

 centres, snbniarginal bars .SC- — R' brown, submarginal interspaces C — R' white, 

 larger than the postdiscal ones, spots SC^ — R^ the largest, often rectangular and 

 contiguous ; marginal line thin, brown in front, black bt'hind ; admarginal trans- 

 verse interspaces elayish ochraceous, upper ones shaded with white ; veins R' to 

 SIP more or less brown ; outer edge of wing dentate at R', rounded in front but 

 slightl}' sinuate between veins, concave behind, anal portion produced, anal angle 

 very obtuse, tail obliquely spatulate. 



¥. Larger than S, wings much broader; black markings reduced. Fore- 

 wing : costal margin brown, this brown scaling seldom penetrating into cell, but 

 occasionally the basal half of cell covered over with brown scales ; cell-bar :{ 

 vestigial as a rule at SO, cell-bar 4 mostly merged together with bar D as in <?, 

 but sometimes reduced to a spot or absent ; median bars SC^-^ — R- mostly con- 

 tiguous with the brown costal border, but otherwise isolated, in some specimens, 

 however, connected behind R- with the discal series of bars ; discal interspaces 

 SC — R' large, seldom divided into patches ; discal bars R^ — SM^ arched, often 

 joined along veins to the black postdisco-marginal band, sometimes isolated, posterior 

 ones not seldom obsolete, liar R'- -M' 6 to '■) mm., bar M- — SM- only 5 mm. from 

 margin, bars SC^ — R' comjdetcl)' merged together to black onter area, but there 

 remain from one to three postdiscal greenish white interstitial spots, spots SC— 

 SC^ and R^ — R^ small, spot SC — R' larger and never absent ; postdisco-marginal 

 band 3i to 4 mm. broad between R- and R', 2 mm. at (SIP). Hindwing : disco- 

 marginal band concave in middle ; white postdiscal interspaces R' — SM' halfmoon- 

 shaped, ujiper ones seldom absent, discal arched bars R' — SM^ mostly thin, 

 occasionally obliterated ; submarginal white interstitial spots C — R' mnch larger 

 than in c?, spots SO' — R^ often merged together, dots R^ — SM- minute, with blue 

 scales distally, the series suddenly broken at R^, sj)ots R" — R^ being obviously more 

 distill than spots C — R- ; admarginal interspaces oehreous or ochraceous, often whitish 

 at veins, upper ones separate, jiosterior ones more or less continuous, narrower 

 between veins, the posterior submarginal black bars l)eing distally more or less 

 convex. 



L'nik'iside similar to cf, but the brown bands thinner, especially in disco- 

 marginal area. Forewing : discal brown band 7 mm. distant from outer margin 



between R' and M', partition R^ — R^ often produced basad to join the baud of 

 median liars SC — R^ ; white postdiscal interspace W — M' 3f to o mm. wide, post- 

 discal interspaces nearly all contiguous, the veins between them not Ijeing brown 



except upper ones. Hindwing : postdiscal and. submarginal white interstitial 



spots SC- — R^ larger than in cJ, the brown bands correspondingly thinner ; two 

 spatulate tails, upper one shorter than second. 



Length of forewing; S, 27 — 31 mm. 

 „ ? , 32—38 mm. 



Sexual organs of <S similar to those of Gh. neanthes.
