( 339 ) 



tawny-ochracenns, sternites basally black, especially the proximal ones, and marked 

 with white in middle. 



Wings similar to those of wakefieldi in outline, rather more brownish in basal 



region, the basal area of the forowing being often distinctly dark chocolate. 



Forewing : cell with two markings, a proximal dot and a longitudinal obliqne patch 

 extending from middle to near lower angle, the two markings for the greater part 

 white, often conflnent, but the snbbasal spot also often absent, and the larger spot, 

 wliich in mostly tridentate, not rarely reduced to a small streak or dot ; discal 

 patches widely separated from one another, all elongate, the fourth spot, R' — M', 

 much more distal than in wakefieldi, the distance from the base of M' equalling 

 or surpassing the length of the spot, spots R''' — SM- shorter and narrower than in 

 tcakejieldi, spot M' — M- rounded off proximally, pointed distally, situated with the 

 proximal end behind (or nearly behind) point of origin of M\ spots M- — SM^ always 

 separate ; streak before hinder margin prominent, seldom minute ; four postdiscal 

 spots SC* — R^, smaller than in ivakejieldi, the first apparently always present, but 

 often small ; these spots greenish like the discal ones ; a complete series of eight 

 white submarginal spots, of which spot M' — M- is the largest, being generally 



triangular or arrowhead-shaped; white fringe-spots vestigial. Hindwing : central 



area greenish, in size similar to that of wakejieldi, consisting of five or six patches, 

 I)atches SC- — R- separated from one another and from the large cell-patch, the veins 

 being black, jiatch R^ — M' small or absent, patch M' — M- mostly larger than in 

 wakejieldi, also separate, patch M — (SM^) covered by white hairs ; cross-vein D' 

 often partly or entirely indicated by a black line ; postdiscal spots greenish, on the 

 whole larger than in wahfieldi, somewhat variable in size individually, spots R^ — M- 

 often approaching in size spots C— R', spots M^ — SM^ small ; a few submarginal 

 dots in the posterior cellules ; a complete series of rather large white admargiual 

 dots ; white fringe-spots vestigial. 



Underside dark olivaceous bistre- or Vandyke-brown, basal costal areas of 

 both wings more or less tawny-russet ; posterior half of forewing black ; maculation 

 similar to that of uppersidc, but cell-patch of forewing and central area of hindwing 

 larger, the latter extending to abdominal margin, and the submarginal row of spots 

 of the hindwing complete. 



? . The sexes differ in the same way as in ivakejieldi. 



"Wings, tipper side. Forewing : cell-patch very large, completely merged 



together with the proximal cell-si)ot, therefore appearing triangularly produced 

 basad ; discal patches larger than in (J, but similar in position, spot R" — R^ standing 

 far away from the base of M', while spot R' — M' reaches M, only in one of onr 

 specimens (Gold Coast) spot R' — M' fills in entirely the base of cellule R' — M'^ 

 most of the underscales of the proximal portion of the patch remaining, however, 

 also in this case black, all the patches separate ; four postdiscal spots as in S, but 

 larger ; a complete series of eight submarginal dots ; these small in the Gold Coast 



B[)ecimen just mentioned, and the first, seventh and eighth shaded with black. 



Hindwing : central area less extended distad than in this sex of wakefieldi, the 

 distal jiortions of the veins more distinctly black within the white area ; postdiscal 

 spots smaller than in the c?, but larger than in wakefieldi ? ; submarginal series 

 of dots complete or incomplete ; admarginal dots larger than the submarginal ones, 

 seldom smaller, the series complete ; white fringe-spots of both wings distinct. 



Underside with similar markings as upjier, submarginal spots of liindwing 

 larger.
