less completely marked out with yellow ; a marginal small patch of 
yellow between veins 2 and 3. Secondaries with the termen yellow 
from the apex, rapidly increasing towards the tornus; a terminal 
blackish spot between veins 2 and 3, and a minute one between 
3 and 4. Underside : both wings greyish brown, with the pattern 
more or less dark, edged broadly with white. Primaries with a large 
wedge-shaped sub-basal mark, a squarish spot closing the cell ; post¬ 
median stripe most irregular, composed of three pairs of confluent 
spots and a seventh; the first pair on the costa small, second pair 
dark, twice as large, and shifted well outwards, third pair dark, 
smaller, shifted right inwards, seventh spot waved and oblique 
again shifted right inwards ; an even subterminal stripe. Secon¬ 
daries with a broad basal band widest in the centre, a squarish .spot 
closing the cell ; postmedian stripe composed of four pairs of spots — 
first pair on the costa with upper spot blackish, second pair blackish 
shifted well out, third j)air dark shifted well inwards, fourth pair

Type in my collection. 
Genitalia. — Very closely allied to L. rufomarginata ; the harpago 
is slightly hollowed above and below beyond the middle, rising in 
each case to the apex, which is curved and strongly serrated. Cingula 
fairly developed, the basal backward process being broadly trian¬ 
gular ; the tegunien is well excavated at its fore apex only, and the 
cheeks have a curved front line ; the falces being curved at nearly 
right angles just above their sockets very strong, with talon-like 
extremities; the furca is very long with very narrow arms curved 
backwards. Penis, with the hinder half somewhat hollowed and 
apparently open above (probably this is only apparent), rising i;p- 
wards towards the centre, where it reduces rapidly to the tip, the 
orifice having a taper tip. The cheeks of the tegunien and the front 
edge of the harpago is well furnished with longish hairs, those of 
the harpagines being fine.
