 the absence of the speckled shadini^- along- the costa a;id in the pre- 

 sence of the very conspicuous discal spot ; the hindwings are also 

 somewhat narrower than in that species. Frcmi 301)7 imparelhis FE., 

 in which three spots are indicated, it is distinguishable by its ochreous

 in its black hind legs, its slightly broader and more rounded wings, its 

 much darker hindwings and underside, as well as in the reduced ex- 

 tent of the orange colouring on the abdomen. The position of the 

 tliree spots is almost exactly the same, but in caUkleUa the first two 

 are rather smaller and a little nearer to the base, f lom which they are 

 more precisely equidistant.
