566 Dr. H. Eltringham on the 
more or less expanded into spots near apex (rarely traces of a fourth 
near apex). These lines, however faint, are interrupted only by 
the nervules and never markedly obsolescent in area 3. 
H.-w. with a white discal band beginning at inner margin and 
usually ending in area 6, but sometimes extending into area 7. Its 
proximal margin forms an almost continuous straight line with the 
f.-w. inner-marginal patch as far as the median nervure, whence it 
turns downwards towards the anal angle. This discal band varies 
in width from 4 to 10 mm. and may be quite continuous, even the 
nervules being white, or it may consist of spots separated by black 
nervules, and distally still more so by invasions of the ground- 
colour. Beyond this band a pale line often only faintly indicated, 
followed by three, sometimes four submarginal lines. Both wings 
with white spotted fringes. 
Underside. Ground-colour little paler than above. F.-w. white 
at base ‘of costa. Pattern in cell variable but usually consisting 
of a white mark on subcostal side with a small proximal and a 
larger distal posterior projection, between which are two rather 
faint spots. Following this an irregular line across end of cell. 
Several small spots above cell end. White discal marks as above, 
the first line yellowish white, the submarginal lines much accentuated, 
the most proximal one being widened into subtriangular spots 
towards apex. 
H.-w. with a conspicuous white basal band extending along costa 
nearly to middle of its length, followed by two rather well-defined 
white bands. These are much more regular and less broken than 
in agatha, Discal band as above. First pale line well developed 
and yellowish white. Submarginal lines similar to those on f.-w., 
the most proximal being expanded into subquadrate spots. 
There seems no absolutely constant character by which 
seeldrayersi can certainly be distinguished from agatha. 
The most useful is the continuity of the submarginal lines 
on the upperside of the f.-w. All examples of seeldrayersi 
seem to be constant in this respect, though rare specimens 
of agatha seem also to have uninterrupted lines. When 
this occurs in agatha it seems to be accompanied by a 
much paler ground-colour, whereas seeldrayersi is nearly 
always very dark sepia to black. The regularity of the 
white bands on the base of h.-w. underside is also a useful 
feature, these in agatha being almost always broken and 
irregular. 
NV. seeldrayerst is not very rare in collections but is 
frequently overlooked owing to its resemblance to agatha,
