?. Furewing more triaugnlar than iu the S, the costal margin being pro- 

 portionally longer. Abdomen rather jmler than in the cJ, the ventri-lateral dots 

 merged together to a streak. The median and discal spots of the forewing, on 

 vp/H'rsiJo, pure white like the snbmargiual ones, and the median spots 11^— 8M^ 

 larger ; there is a trace of a white patch near middle of hinder margin. The hind- 

 wintf has a complete series of white postdiscal spots and a large white median 

 area, which reaches from SO- to abdominal margin, and from near base of R' to 

 beyond curvature of E^, the width of the area measured along M and R* surpassing 

 a little the width of the black distal area measured at R^. 



The Hiulcrside diflers from that of the S like the upper. 



JS'curation : SC and SC^ of forewing free, not anastomosed with C ; D- = D\ 

 transverse, D' deeply concave, transverse ; D^ not longer than D-' ; D' of hindwing 

 reaching M proximally of M^, being more proximal in ? than in (?.

Similar to tibcriiis, but easily distinguished by the first subcostal vein of the 

 forewing being anastomosed with the costal, by the median patches R' — (SM') of 

 the forewing not being separated from one another, and by patch R' — M' extending 

 to the very base of the cellule R^ — M', by the hindwing of the S bearing a large 

 creamy area on the upperside, and the white basi-distal area of the hindwing of 

 the ? being much larger than in that sex of tiberius, etc., etc. 



S. Body brown-black ; abdomen beneath marked with three rows of dirty 

 white dots, the lateral dots being more or less confluent. 



"Wings, upperside, black. Forewing : orange basal area rather smaller than 



in tiberius, shaded with brown at costal margin, reaching the cell-spot and the 

 median spot M'— M^, being separated from the former only in costal half by a 

 narrow black interspace, cell-spot creamy, like the median ones, transverse, 

 subrectangular, extending from SC to M, its upper outer angle obliquely 

 truncate ; the median band consisting of four spots, besides the one in cell ; spot 

 R2 — R' the first, small, triangular, the second entirely covering the base of cellule 

 R'— M', the third long, reaching at M halfway from M' to M'^, obliijuely rounded or 

 truncate distally, the fourth spot shorter, the fifth small, elongate, almost or quite 

 separate, the veins not black between these spots, except D^ and (SM^) ; an 

 ill-defined creamy streak along hinder margin from near base to beyond middle ; 

 four postdiscal spots white, the scries a little more regular than in tiberius, 

 continued by the submarginal spots R' — SM- ; snbmargiual spots R' — K^ 

 absent or vestigial, spots SC — R' present, but smaller than in tiberius ; fringe 

 with vestiges of white interuervnlar spots ; distal margin a little more strongly
