A local form of D. Descombesi, Boisk. Doherty describes the five subapical lunules of the 

 uuder-sxirface of the anterior wings as yellow, not white ; but they are only slightly tinged with 

 vellow in the male which we have figured. It differs from typical I). Dt^scombesi l)eueath, however, 

 in the greater extent of the grey colouring on the anterior wings, and in the lighter yellow uf the 

 posterior wings.
