162 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograinh of the 



Underside f.-w. rather paler than upper side. No dusky 

 suffusion. Apical area ochreous with orange internervular rays. 

 One basal and one subbasal spot on costa. Spots as above. 

 H.-w. pale ochreous. A narrow black line round hind margin 

 and narrow internervular black arches. Discal area with an 

 orange ochreous band parallel to hind margin, its inner edge 

 much sutt'used. Internervular patches of reddish in median and 

 basal areas. Black spots as follows : — An irregular discal row of 

 { nine. The first in 7 rather beyond middle, second in 6 nearer 

 margin, third in 5 immediately beneath, or slightly more discal 

 than the second, fourth in 4 nearer base, fifth in 3 nearly mid- 

 way between end of cell and the marginal black arch. The sixth 

 and seventli in 2 and Ic and lying in a straight line with the- 

 fourth. The eighth in lb rather nearer base, the ninth in la 

 still nearer base. A spot in 8 a little distance from precostal 

 and close to costa, a subbasal in 7, two in cell (the second just 

 before origin of 2). A large spot at base of area 5 touching (> 

 and middle discocellular. A basal and a large subbasal in Ic^ 

 a small spot in lb, and a subbasal in la. 



Head reddish brown with tufts of same colour on collar. 

 Thorax black with reddish hair. Base of abdomen black with 

 pale lateral spots and narrow transverse segmental bands. The 

 remainder pale pinkish ochreous. Claws unequal. 



$. Expanse 48-60 nun. Dry season examples may be very 

 similar to ^J, but with a larger extent of dusky basal suffusion,, 

 and the hind-marginal border almost entirely black. A some- 

 what intermediate example before me has the ground-colour of 

 a delicate pale salmon pink (= recaldana). From this condition 

 every gradation may be found to an extreme wet season form 

 iu which all the wings are sepia, with a milk white patch 

 in the f.-w. extending from costa to hind angle, and from origin 

 of nervule 2 to inner edge of dark apical patch. Spots as 

 in f^ . Abdomen black above with white or yellowish lateral 

 spots.

In this form the ground-colour is greyish ochreous. F.-w. with 

 heavy dusky suffusion extending over nearly the whole wing. 

 H.-w. with a black marginal border and dusky suffusion over 

 the whole wing. The distal ends of areas 4, 3, 2, and Ic are 

 white, bounded distally by the marginal border, and proximally 

 sharply cut off from the ground-colour. Only two examples 

 are known to me, one in the British Museum, and one in the 

 collection of Mr. H. Druce.
