" Allied to J. CilrliKi, Fekl., and yJ. Gluriala, Butl., from which it differs in 

 the following respects," in addition to its much larger size. 



"Male. On the ujiperside of the anterior wings tlie vitreous spot between 

 the second discoidal and upper median nervules is very short, and the cell is 

 almost entirely dark brown, there being only a comparatively short and narrow 

 vitreous spot above the median nervure. On the posterior wings the spot at the 

 end of the cell is very small, and there is a double submarginal row of white 

 spots, the inner row l)eing very distinct, but interrupted between the lower 

 median uervule and submedian nervure, the three upper spots being treble the 

 size of those towards the anal angle ; the outer row of spots is indistinct. 



" Underside. Anterior wings with a single row of sul)marginal white spots, 

 outside which are two small spots near the ajjcx, and two between the upper 

 and middle median nervules. On the posterior wings is a double row of sub- 

 marginal white spots, the inner row interrupted as on the upper side, the outer 

 row being uninterrupted ; on the lower median nervule, halfway between the 

 margin and the median nervure, is a patch of white scales." (H. G. S., he. cit.)

"Female. Upperside brown. Anterior wings with a submarginal row of 

 small spots, two subcostal spots, beneath which are two elongated spots, the 

 upper one less than half the length of the lower, below which, between the 

 discoidal nervules, is a small lunular spot ; beneath the first, second, and third 

 median nervules are three elongated quadrate spots divided by the nervules ; all 

 the spots pale yellow, and transparent. Posterior wings with a submarginal row 

 of spots, the space ])etween the costa and the cell as far as the first subcostal 

 nervule, a triangular spot below the latter, the cell and two spots beyond it, and
