THE LEPIDOPTERIST 35 



remainder of the discal cell and also the entire discal 

 area is solid black. In the linibal area the black band 

 of the typical form is replaced with a brick-red and 

 the outer row of yellow spots is nearly suppressed. 

 The inner row remains but is considerably blurred, 

 and is a little more prominent on one of the two 

 specimens before us (Figure 3) than on the other. 



The submarginal black line is intact, but blurred, 

 and the marginal line of red is much as in the typical 

 form. The nervules are finely dusted with black. 



Secondaries, upper surface : all of the typical 

 yellow markings are completely suppressed and their 

 places taken by a black suffusion. The entire wing, 

 in fact, is a solid black with the exception of the 

 marginal band of red, one row of red spots running 

 through the centre of the limbal area, and a single 

 blurred irregular red spot in the outer and upper 

 portion of the discal cell. 



Primaries, under surface: much as in the typical, 

 but with the yellow of the discal area largely sup- 

 pressed, and its place taken by a dark powdery suf- 

 fusion, more marked anteriorly. The limbal area 

 has the reds and yellows blurred and indistinct. The 

 submarginal black line is blurred, and partially or 

 nearly suppressed. 



Secondaries, under surface: all of the yellow spots 

 of the basal and discal areas have been suppressed, 

 and their place taken by an irregular mottling of black 

 and brick-red. The line of red spots running through 

 the limbal area on the upper surface is repeated below 

 but is more clearly a line, also it is margined with 

 yellow. The marginal red border is intact, and in- 

 ternal to it there is a clearly defined black band, vary- 

 ing somewhat in width on the two specimens.
