562 Dr. H. Eltringham on the 
cell a little above base of nervules 5 and 6, into area 5; at end of 
_ this band a small spot in the same area, 
I have found no example of this form amongst the hun- 
dreds of specimens examined. The description and figure 
suggest a rather aberrant example of jordani, though 
without an examination of the male armature it is impossible 
certainly to determine its specific identity.

Expanse 55-60 mm. Sepia brown with white markings. Upper- 
side; f.-w. with an elongated white mark in cell, sharply pointed 
at base, widest at cell end, and extending into area 4 to within about 
1 mm. of the discal spot in 3, where it is narrowed again and comes 
to a rather indefinite termination. Just above origin of nervule 3 
this cell streak has a slight indentation on its costal side. In the 
majority of examples a minute white spot close to costa near the 
middle of its length. A small rather elongated inner-marginal patch 
formed of two spots in la and 1d, followed by two large subquadrate 
spots in 2 and 3 just separated by nervule 2, and outwardly rather 
divergent. In 4 a small triangular spot or streak distally placed. 
In 5, 6, and 9 elongated rather divergent spots, the last very small. 
Distal to this series of markings a pale line roughly following their 
contour and interrupted at the nervules. Following this a series 
of three pale submarginal lines, the first often rather well marked, 
and all interrupted by the nervules. Fringes of both wings white 
between nervules. 
H.-w. with a well-defined white discal band 5-6 mm. wide, from 
middle of inner margin to area 6, where it is much narrowed. Close 
to the distal edge of this band a pale ill-defined line about 1 mm. 
wide, followed by three pale submarginal lines, the first suffused 
and about 2 mm. wide, the second very narrow and better defined, 
the last still narrower. 
Underside. Ground-colour rather paler. F.-w. white at base 
of costa. Cell almost entirely filled with white, and a very small 
streak at origin of 5 and 6. The indentation in the costal side 
of the cell mark noted above, here contains a small white dot. Some 
white scales in base of area 3, several small streaks above cell end. 
White discal marks as above. Remaining lines much more distinct 
~ than on upperside.
