secondaries base broadly silver and silver marginal band, remainder 

 of wing rich metallic green. 



An/ijnnis ci/dippe [adijqie) : partially albinistic, of very pale (straw) 

 ground colour and leaden coloured spots. Also a male with 

 silvery-leaden median nervures instead of the normal black 

 androconial scales. Other specimens showing variation of markings. 

 All from New Forest, July, 1919. 



Mr. W. J. Kaye exhibited a very varied series of Mclitaa riuxia 

 from the Isle of Wight, and an equally varied series of Mditua 

 athalia. In the former the uppersides varied from great reduction 

 of the black spots to extra heavy markings. On the undersides, the . 

 most striking was a form with hardly a trace of black on the 

 forewing and with a very heavy double row of black spotting across 

 the middle of the wing. The reverse of this form with a great 

 reduction of the black on the underside and with the inner edge of 

 the first discal band entirely wanting. A minor form of variation 

 in the forewing beneath was the heavy mark near the inner 

 margin. The most extreme example of M. athalia was a very fine 

 var. with the whole of the disc of forewing having the tawny orange 

 marks coalesced. In the hindwing the only tawny spots were 

 a single row before the margin. Otherwise, the whole wing was 

 black. One of the undersides was a parallel form to the ciu.ria 

 with pale markings, and the inner edge of subtermimal band in the 

 hindwing obliterated. One other form had the underside of the 

 hindwing with very white-looking spots.
