larger and oblong, with straight edges, and fills breadth of cellule, 

 the third in 3 is smaller than the first and rounded. A white dot 

 in cell near base, a curved white mark near end of cell, a narrow 

 white spot outside end of cell in 4, and a white dot above it in 5. 

 Inner marginal streaks as in australis but much fainter, darker, 

 and interrupted. The yellow tail spot is round, and there is a 

 smaller marginal lunate spot in 2 which is greenish and tinged 

 with yellow proximally. The margin outwardly of the discal patch 

 and extending inwardly to the base of inner margin is much darker 

 than rest of wing. 



$ similar to ^ but larger. Underside of forewing with the sub- 

 marginal spots fainter and the two lower ones absent. The third 

 and smaller spot of the white hindwing patch is still further reduced. 



Length of forewing : (^ 40 mm., $ 48 mm.

This rather distinct form is nearest diana, Roths., from 

 N. Hanover. 



cj. Resembles diana, Roths. Upperside : forewing with the 

 black area extending to apex of cell and to a third of inner margin. 

 The basal brown extends as a small spot beyond cell at lower 

 angle, and along two-thirds of costa. Hindwing with the marginal 

 black extending to near the middle and narrowing posteriorly 

 from costa to middle of cellule 3, its inner edge being very slightly 

 convex. Veins 6 and 7 are black nearly to their bases. Two 

 submarginal brown spots in 6 and 7, followed by obscure dark- 

 brown lunules in 5, 4, and 3, the last cutting off a round black 

 spot, a similar spot in 2. Margin broAvn to vein 5. 



Underside of a bronzy-green tint, markings as in $. The outer 

 lunulate line on forewing bordered distally by blurred dark rufous 

 spots, forming a band which becomes obsolete anteriorly. The 

 median black bars edged with pinkish-white distally and broadly 

 so in the lower median space, the white area merging into the 

 similarly coloured inner margin. The basal median area has a 

 pinkish tint. Hindwing : the discal black bars extend to cellule 2. 

 The outer lunulate band is filled in with rufous-brown. 



Length of forewing : 41 mm. 



$. Smaller than diana $ and the white band not divided as in that 

 species. The outer row of lunate spots which form the distal half of 

 the band in diana, are here reduced to vestiges ; the white costal spot
