WTTITE-AV IIATKSTREAK. 93 



dot outside the tail, from which a very narrow white streak 

 runs to and round the tail; there are a few rufous marks near 

 the lower inside corner. 



Underneath, their general colour is a fine rich ash brown, 

 with a white line nearly across them, and then fainter, turning 

 inwards. The hind wings have also a slender white line 

 across them beyond the middle, thinner still towards the lower 

 side, where it bends in a zigzag shape, forming the letter W. 

 A row of small black crescents, slightly edged on the inside 

 with white, runs nearly parallel to the outer margin of these 

 wings, and is succeeded by a fulvous band extending from the 

 inner lower corner, about half-way towards the outer angle, 

 when it becomes gradually obliterated; on its outside this band 

 is marked with black semicircular spots, succeeded by a faint 

 silvery line, the black spots nearest to the lower corner being 

 the largest; the lower corner itself is black, with a silvery dot. 

 The tails are black, tipped with white; the antennas are ringed 

 very prettily with white, the tips red; the legs, whitish, ringed 

 with brown. 



The female has the white streak on the fore wings rather 

 broader than in the males, as also rather more waved, and 

 they are without the spot on the middle of these wings; the 

 tails to the hind wings are a little longer than in the male. 



The caterpillar is green, with the two rows of small dots 

 down the middle of the back, which is indented, and paler 

 oblique marks on the sides; the hinder segments are spotted 

 with dark red. 



The figures are fi'om specimens in my own collection.
