260 Dr. H. Eltringliam on the 



lircaea ab. makomensis. 



Apical band 3-5 mm. broad and extending backwards to 2. 

 H.-w. with black marginal band of -5 mm. but increased to 1 mm. 

 at apex, and similar on both sides, below \\ith dark grey spots in 

 Ic, 2, 4, and 5. Black marginal band in basal half of f.-w. costa not 

 square cut at end. 



lircaea ab. simekoa. 



Resembles Kirby and Smith's figure of lircaea female, but marginal 

 band not quite so broad, and more pointed posteriorly. The black 

 quadrate costal spot merely indicated. Underside differs con- 

 siderably from the figure alluded to, in that the apical and marginal 

 border, though nearly as broad as above, is only a little darkened, 

 without distinct apical spots, whilst in h.-w. submarginal spots are 

 present in Ic to 5, in addition to the usual large black spot in 6. 



lircaea ab. bibundica. 



Both sides pure white. Apical band at apex 3-5 mm. broad, 

 ending in a line shortly beyond 2. On underside this band shows 

 through somewhat. A small black spot at apex, and the costal 

 spot projects sharply. The costa between this and base merely 

 lined with black. H.-w. below with only the two usual black 

 spots. 



This form is probably a variety of lagyra. 



lircaea f. hermansi. 



Ground-colour cream white. F.-w. costa rather narrowly black, 

 usually suddenly narrowing to a line opposite anterior angle of cell, 

 and then widening into a dark apical border, 4-6 mm. wide, which, 

 gradually diminishing in width, extends round margin to the hind 

 angle. H.-w. with a marginal black border 2-3 mm. wide, invaded 

 by the ground-colour at nervule ends so that it has a dentate or 

 subtriangular apjiearance in the internervular spaces. 



Underside. F.-w. as above but dark markings jialer, and a well- 

 marked black subquadrate spot on costa opposite end of cell. H.-w. 

 as above but with a large rounded sjjot in 6, and a sjjot in Ic opposite 

 origin of nervule 2. 



lircaea f. spuma. 



Resembles f. hermansi, but has a submarginal row of spots on 

 underside of h.-w.
