aud approach very nearly to some of the more variable 

 examples of the previous species, whilst the genitalia arc 

 also similar to it. 



Androconia : pyi'iform, rather small and short, with twelve rows 

 of reticulations, closely approximated vertically. The scales vary 

 somewhat in each specimen and also on the same specimens, some 

 almost ajjproach the smaller scales in subpallida, but I have seen 

 no pyriform scales in true suhpallida ; the insects are, however, so 

 close superficially that it seems better to treat them as races rather 

 than species.

 fig. 54 ; XXXI, fig. 54. 



(j*. Upperside, both wings violet blue with narrowish brown 

 borders. Secondaries with a black subanal spot with narrow orange 

 internal edge; a row of distinct terminal dark spots. Underside, 

 both wings broAvnish giey with darker spots having whitish edges. 

 Primaries with a spot closing the cell; the postmedian series com- 

 posed of six roundish spots, the upper four in an even curve, the 

 fifth shifted inwards, the sixth inclined obliquely outwards; a 

 subterminal row of broadish internervular dashes, increasing in 

 width towards the anal angle; a terminal row of small spots. 

 Secondaries with fom- small dark spots at the base as usual, a fifth 

 dark spot in the middle of the costa below vein 8; a spot closes 

 the cell; postmedian series composed of six spots, the second 

 shifted outwards, the third, fourth and fifth each inwards, sixth 

 outwards ; a terminal row of spots preceded by a subterminal row 

 of brown lunules, between which and the postmedian series the 

 ground is whitish; a deep black subanal spot with metallic bhie 

 scales and an internal orange lunule. 



9 Upperside, both wings brown with the basal and median areas 

 violet. Secondaries with the terminal row accentuated; otherwise 

 as in the male.

 Type in my collection. 



Genitalia. Harpagines short, broad for the basal two-thirds, but 

 slightly wider at the base, at a third from the apex suddenly excised 

 into a deep sickle-shaped termination, with long strong bristles in 

 the central and upper portion of the harpago ; anellus small and of 

 slight dimensions; aedoeagus rather long considering the size of
