PIERIN.F. 47 



series of seven very small but distinct black nervular spots from third 

 subcostal ncrvulo (at apex) to first median nervule ; about apex some 

 black scaling, forming a very narrow border, uniting more or less 

 incompletely the hind-marginal spots one to three or (rarely) four ; an 

 exceedingly slender black hind-marginal edging line from apex to third 

 median ner\nile. Hind-wing : a hind-marginal series of seven minute 

 black spots at extremities of nervules, of which those on median ner- 

 vules are best developed. Under side. — Hind-wing and apex of fore- 

 wing {rather widdf) vcrg pale didl-yclluvnsJi. Fore-wing : costa narrowly 

 tinged with dull-yellowish ; rarely a faint or very faint small discal 

 fuscous spot between third and second median nervules ; apical pale- 

 yellowish very narrowly continued along hind-margin to about first 

 median nervule ; hind-marginal spots either wanting entirely or ex- 

 tremely minute. Hind-ioing : costa narrowly edged with ochre-yellow 

 from close to base almost to extremity of costal nervure ; a discal row 

 of five more or less indistinct small fuscous inter-nervular spots (of 

 which the third, between third and second median nervules, is best 

 expressed), between second subcostal nervule and submedian nervure ; 

 hind-marginal spots as on upper side. 



$ Fore-icing tinged loith pale ochrcous-yclloio on margins ; hind-wing 

 icholly pale ochreous-yclloiv ; dark markings larger generally than in $. 

 Fore-wing : ochreous-yellow tinge sometimes more or less faintly per- 

 vading the whole area, but always more developed marginally, especially 

 about apex and narrowly along hind-margin ; costal margin from base 

 usually more or less thinly sprinkled with fuscous ; a conspicuous fuscous 

 spot on disc hetivccn third and second median nervules, and usually an 

 ill-defined diffused fuscous mark between first median nervule and sub- 

 median nervure (sometimes vaguely extended to posterior angle by 

 fuscous scaling below submedian nervure) ; rarely the faint trace of a 

 third, much smaller spot, between second and first median nervules ; 

 nervular hind-marginal spots larger (sometimes very much larger) and 

 longer, and including an additional one, smaller than the rest, at 

 extremity of submedian nervure. Hind-%uing : neuration marked with 

 whitish ; hind-marginal spots always larger, and usually conspicuous ; 

 usually the more or less indistinct traces of a curved discal row of 

 small fuscous spots between second subcostal nervule and submedian 

 nervin-e. Under side. — Rind-wing and aptical and marginal yelloiu of 

 fore-iving rather deeper in tint than on upper side, and altogether different 

 from the colouring of the $ ; ^ hind-marginal spots rarely much larger 

 than in $, and in fore-wing sometimes wanting. Forc-iving : upper 

 discal spot darker than above ; lower one better defined, very much 

 smaller, not diffused ; trace of intermediate spot seldom present. Hind- 

 wing : six inter-nervular spots in curved discal row constant in number, 

 small, somewhat diffused, and ill-defined ; costal edging from base 

 orange-red, wider than in $, and faintly continued beyond middle. 



^ In the figure of the i, pi. x. fig. 5, the yellow of the under side is too deep and 

 decided in tint.
