NovirATES ZooLoaicAE XXVI. 1919. 35 



with argus Bdv. figured by Houlbert, pi. cdxlvii. fig. 3,801. Antenna much 

 lighter, more yellowish. 



Forewing darker, less brown, mixed — especially in anterior and posterior 

 regions and near termen — with slaty-grey scales ; markings blacker ; discal 

 band somewhat broader (except at costa) , more evenly margined, ending at fold 

 about 2 mm. from termen, broadly confluent with a longitudinal band which 

 runs inward, tapering behind cell nearly to base ; a narrow white band proximal 

 to the dark transverse band between SC' and M."-, the pale area distally to the 

 dark band likewise mostly white ; subapical patch larger than in argus, its 

 proximal edge less deeply sinuate ; dark distal border very narrow, of equal 



width throughout. Hindioing predominantly black (browner in abdominal 



region) ; proximal orange spot and the two yellow spots which succeed it re- 

 placed by a band of three elongate, confluent orange spots between R' and M' ; 

 the white, orange-edged spots somewhat further from termen, mostly rather 

 elongate, that between R' and M' wanting ; curved tornal mark shorter ; sub- 

 marginal orange spots separate posteriorly, large between R' and M', obsolete 

 anteriorly to R' ; fringe white in distal half. Forewing beneath with proximal 

 area almost black, the yellow bands and posterior spot almost white, the first 

 one narrow ; distal border blacldsh, narrowly edged with white against the 

 white band. Hind wing beneath largely blackened, becoming browner at 

 abdominal margin, apex and termen ; two elongate white spots in middle be- 

 tween the radials ; the spots distal hereto likewise white, the two between M' 

 and SM* large, the curved subtornal short and mixed with orange ; orange sub- 

 marginal spots nearly as above. 



Patria ? Type in coU. Joicey, labelled albofasciata, which — according to 

 Schaufuss' short description — cannot be correct. 



Length of forewing : 41 mm.
