(J. Forewing : median patches not touching cell and much shorter 

 than in melusine. The lower median patch composed of two con- 

 fluent spots, smaller than the upper patch. Subapical spots reduced, 

 the one in cellule 6 only half the length of spot in 5. Hindwing 

 with reduced costal patch, discal patch reduced distally. Veins of 

 cell browTi, being scaled with white in both melusine and meeki. 

 Spot in cellule 6 absent. Three white submarginal apical spots. 



Underside with a small spot at base of cellule 8, well marked in 

 the ?. This spot is absent in all other forms of melusine. 



$. Resembles the ^ but markings more extended and spots 

 larger. Hindwiiig with a submarginal row of 5 spots in 2-6.

(Plate LX, fig. 1.) 



(J. The band on the forewing is much narrower than in uUt, 

 R. and J., and is yellowish-browTi except for a creamy oblong spot 

 on the costa. The band is slightly separated from the submarginal 

 lines, and the part lying in cellule 2 is larger than it is in ula. The 

 hindwing is darker, the eyespot has no outer ring and the blue iris 

 is somewhat reduced. On the underside the blind ocelli in 3 and 4 

 are confluent and their dark centres are lunate. In a specimen 

 taken in March the underside is much lighter than in ?/&/, and the 

 forewing shows a well-marked creamy band below. 



Two specimens were obtained. The collector notes that 

 it flies near the ground.

Near to decolor, Jord. 



(J. Upperside of forewing with a pale discal patch from inner margin 

 into the cell, narrowing anteriorly. Beyond cell a pale stripe from 

 costa to vein 2, where it ends in a point and touches the suffused 

 outer edge of the discal patch. Hindwing with a pale discal band 

 from costa to vein 2, constricted at vein 5 and irregularly defined 

 proximally.
