Remarks. — The male of chrysanthema is not known. The spe- 

 cies is very similiar to splendens Druce and in some specimens 

 hardly distinguishable from it. In splendens the external indentation 

 of the subapical terminal spot of the forewing is noticeably deeper 

 than in chrysanthema (in which this indentation often is completely 

 lacking), usually being represented by two white notches, at least 

 as deep as the width of the cUia; the spot itself is separated from the 

 tornal spot by a rather broad, white interspace. In chrysanthema 

 there is an additional spot between the subapical and the tornal 

 spots of the forewing; the mterspace between this additional spot 

 and the tornal spot is very narrow, or both these spots are confluent. 

 The above characters are rather reliable for identification of the 

 specimens with the cilia undamaged, but in those with the cilia 

 broken they may sometimes not be very distinct. On the hindwing 

 of chrysanthema the subapical spot is followed by one or two small, 

 black terminal spots which are much smaller than the adjacent spot 

 on the termen. In splendens the subapical spot of the hindwing is 

 generally confluent with the apical spot; if both of these spots are 

 separated, the subapical spot is larger than the terminal spot next 

 below. The female genitalia of these two species enable an easy 

 separation of both.

Plate 8 



Female. — Antenna brown black with violet gloss. Labial palpus 

 brown black with bluish-violet gloss; basal segment and inner 

 surface and base of upper edge of second segment orange yellow. 

 Head orange yellow; vertex brown black with bluish- violet gloss. 

 Thorax [damaged] concolorous with vertex and with scattered, 

 orange-yellow scales; patagia and fringes of tegula orange yellow. 

 Abdomen prismatic greenish blue. Forewing orange yellow with 

 prismatic greenish blue, fine black-outlined markings, as foUows: 

 a broad, transverse, somewhat undulate-outlined band, located in 

 basal third of wing and slightly narrowed costally; a smiilar, slightly 

 broader band at middle of wing; a large, piriform spot located in 

 external third of wing, nartowly extended costally and reaching 

 costa, and remote from dorsum; two moderately sized spots near base 

 of wing, one on costa, another on dorsum; a minute, costal dot ex- 

 ternal of these spots, before first band; two moderate, rotundate 

 costal spots, one in interspace of first and second bands, another
