c?. Tenth abdominal tergite trnucatc-siniiate. Process of harpe slender, curved 

 at end, pointed. Penis-sheath (PI. LVII. f. 23) with a short dentate process 

 which projects jiroximad as in the allied sjiecies ; at the left side tliere is an 

 obli(pie, slightly raised band of irregnlarly dispersed teeth.

(J ? . Intermediate between /il^i/a and tieojjtolemtfs, agreeing better with the 

 latter than with the former, except in the pale colour of the band of the hindwing. 



"Wings, al/ore. Forewing : no dot in cell, snbapical costal dot seldom 



indicated. Hindwing rather narrower and band more red than in lib'/a ; the band 



much paler than in neopfolemus, reaching costal margin, its inner edge rather 

 irregular and ill-defined, concave from R- to M- ; the black border of the wing 

 much more even than in Uhya, broadest between R- and M-, much narrower than 

 the jiink band, sharply defined, not dentate near R-', stopping at (', where it is 

 narrowed almost to a point. 



Underside. Forewing : the discal band emanating from the brown subdiscal 



area, which is not so dark as in Uhya, thin and not interrupted, more obli([ue than 

 in liliya, pointing towards the snbapical costal dot, the line sometimes absent ; 

 beyond it follow three or two faint continuous lines, occasionally absent ; the 

 nerve-dots not quite so consjiicuous as in Uhya ; the two lines from apex of wing 

 closer together ; the angle formed between R- and R^ much more obtuse than in 



libya ; outer margin less briglit than disc ; fringe ochraceous. Discal lines of 



hindwing straighter than in libya, not divided into spots, outer marginal border 

 more even, continuous, less projecting discad between R^ and R^ ; no marginal spot 

 before SC-. External spur of midtibia apparently always longer than the internal 

 one, but the difference is sometimes not conspicuous, especially in ? ? . 



<S. Process of penis-sheath (PI. LVII. f. 24) obviously longer than in libya. 

 Early stages not known.
