length; anellus bluntly cone-shaped; aedoeagus of but moderate 

 length and width; cingulum angled in the middle and bent well 

 forwards; tegumen a high narrow ridge-shaped collar, with lobe- 

 shaped cheeks with plenty of bristles; falces moderate length and 

 width. 



Androconia broadly ovate, tajiering somewhat proximalty to 

 the attachment stalk, v/ith ten I'ows of well-marked reticulations 

 placed vertically close together.

(^. Upperside, both wings pale violet colour with broadish brovv'n 

 borders to the primaries, and in the secondaries with linear borders, 

 but with a someAvhat indefinite marginal row of spots, and with a 

 subanal black spot. Underside, both "wings pale stone grey with 

 decidedly darker spots sharply encircled with white. The arrange- 

 ment of spots is so similar to that of manensis that it would be 

 difficult to differentiate it, except that in the postmedian series of 

 the jirimaries spots two and three are placed at an angle to each 

 other, thus interrupting the even curve. The subterminal row of 

 internervular dashes is decidedly narrower and more definite, and 

 in the secondaries the basal spots are black. No tails. 



$. Upperside, both wings brown, with the basal and median 

 areas brightish violet blue ; other^sisc like the male.

Types in my collection. 



I have found it very difficult to decide whether we have 

 two closely allied species or not in manensis and this 

 insect. The look of the underside is quite distinctive; 

 mauensis is obscure and dark in its pattern below, whilst 

 this is pale and very definite. I have a long series of this 

 latter, and they seem to be readily separated from my 

 other species. 



Again, the scales of mauensis are very broad and squarish 

 in shape, but the scales of snbpallida are very variable 

 indeed, variable in the specimen itself and more variable 

 when comparing the specimens among each other. 



Taking all the points into consideration, I think it is
