c?. Body black, mipersirle of aMomen, meta- and posterior part of mesonotnra 

 with olivaceous hairs ; imderside of abdomcu tawny for the greater part, marked 

 with black, especially the proximal segments, and dotted with white in middle. 

 White spot on second segment of palpns large. 



Wings, uppcrsidc, black, purplish in certain lights. Forewing : markings 



greenish, except the submargiual dots, which are white ; a transverse snbapical bar 

 in cell, separated in (wo or more spots ; a band of seven patches from SG'-'* to 

 SIP, all separated from cue another, the last two sometimes partly confluent, the 

 four upper ones of about the same length, the second triangular, the fourth more 

 distal than the previous, not reaching base of cellule ; a thin streak behind SIVP ; 

 discal dots SC— R' absent from most specimens ; the series of submarginal dots 

 complete or incomplete, the upper three the largest, dots M- — SM- mostly absent ; 

 distal margin scalloped, strongly convex, subsinuate below apex, the latter obtuse, 

 but a little produced ; fringe with a very few white scales midway between the 



veins; distances from base to M to tip of SC and M' the same. Hindwiug : a 



white subbiisal costal spot ; anal area more or less orange-tawny ; a greenish white 

 central patch, consisting of three confluent patches : a small one before R', a larger 

 one between R^ and R-, and the largest in cell ; a series of five or six postdiscal 

 spots, greenish white, the first and second the largest, the others gradually 

 decreasing in size, spot R' to M' abont one-fourtli the size of the first, or less, being 

 often a mere dot ; admarginal dots vestigial or absent ; distal margin scalloped ; 

 fringe with just a trace of white spots. 



Underside bright rufous chestnut ; markings paler than above. Forewing : 



a large area from inner margin to R- black, extending from base to hinder angle ; 

 markings essentially as above, but the cell-bar and the submarginal spots, as well 



as the posterior discal patches rather larger. Hindwing : brighter than the 



forewing ; subbasal triangular costal spot conspicnons ; discal spot SC^ — R' 

 vestigial, patch R' — R- and the cell-patch rather smaller than above; between the 

 proximal half of the cell-patch and the abdominal margin there are several more or 

 or less distinct white patches ; postdiscal spots as above, the second the largest ; a 

 complete series of submarginal dots, two in each cellule, followed by a simple series 

 of admarginal dots standing upon the internervular folds. 



?. Abdomen paler than in S, and beneath more extended ochraceou.s. 



Wings, upperside.- Forewing : almost normal in shape, triangular ; 



markings white ; cell-bar larger than in 3 ; discal patches also larger, especially 

 patch R' — IF, which nearly reaches base of cellule, patch R'' — R^ narrowing 

 distally ; streak before inner margin distinct ; postdiscal spots absent (always ?) ; 

 submarginal spots larger than in <J, especially the upper ones ; distal margin nearly 



straight taken as a whole, scalloped; fringe-spots small. Hindwing: white 



central area extended from SC- to abdominal margin, widest at SM-, reaching base 

 behind ; a white snbmediau dot behind C ; postdiscal spots C — R' large, spots 

 R' — M- gradually decreasing, no postdiscal spots beyond M- ; submarginal dots 

 present only in jiosterior cellules ; a complete series of transverse admarginal dots ; 

 fringe-spots distinct; distal margin scalloped. 



Underside: ground-colour as in S, rather less bright; white markings 

 essentially as above, but white central area of hindwing smaller and the submarginal 

 series complete on both wings. Forewing sometimes with a wliite dot j)roximally 

 of middle behind SC. 



Neuration : SC of forewing absent, SC^ free, D' longer than D°, both oblique,
