  Rhopalocera

  for 
  the 
  greater 
  size 
  and 
  translucency 
  of 
  a 
  female. 
  

   The 
  ground-colour 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wing 
  is 
  peculiar, 
  being 
  of 
  a 
  

   very 
  pale 
  yellow 
  passing 
  into 
  a 
  ferrugineous 
  submarginal 
  

   band. 
  The 
  usual 
  nervular 
  and 
  internervular 
  radiate 
  markings 
  

   cut 
  into 
  the 
  black 
  marginal 
  and 
  the 
  ferrugineous 
  submar- 
  

   ginal 
  bands, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  central 
  yellow 
  area. 
  The 
  strongly 
  

   marked 
  rectangulated 
  band 
  was 
  recognized 
  by 
  Westvvood 
  

   when 
  he 
  placed

  Besides 
  the 
  addition 
  alluded 
  to 
  under 
  1461, 
  Westwood's 
  list 
  

   gives 
  two 
  further 
  specimens, 
  one 
  being 
  caught

  the 
  other 
  on

  The 
  

   data 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  not 
  only 
  appear 
  as 
  A. 
  8, 
  A. 
  9, 
  and 
  A.

   in 
  Westwood's

  Acrcea

  but 
  also 
  separately 
  on 
  a 
  small 
  

   slip 
  of 
  paper. 
  The 
  first 
  of 
  these 
  lists 
  is 
  in 
  a 
  clerk's 
  hand- 
  

   writing 
  and 
  is 
  not 
  quite 
  so 
  complete 
  as 
  the 
  second, 
  though 
  

   it 
  correctly 
  records 
  two 
  specimens 
  of 
  the 
  date 
  18. 
  12. 
  26, 
  

   while 
  only 
  one 
  such 
  specimen 
  is 
  mentioned 
  in 
  the 
  other 
  list. 
  

  

  Most 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  are 
  included 
  under 
  

   the 
  number 
  A. 
  8 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  list,

  it 
  "

  A.

  however, 
  refers 
  to 
  four 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  bearing 
  the 
  data

  (1466; 
  ; 
  opposite 
  to 
  these 
  he 
  wrote 
  "

  Finally 
  A.

  refers 
  to 
  three 
  individuals 
  with 
  the 
  

   following 
  dates 
  :— 
  two 
  with

  and 
  1463), 
  and 
  

   9. 
  5. 
  27 
  (1467). 
  These 
  he 
  describes 
  as 
  "var.

  The 
  second 
  list, 
  which 
  is 
  altogether 
  in 
  Westwood's 
  hand- 
  

   writing, 
  bears 
  the 
  heading 
  " 
  Acraea 
  Thalia." 
  

  

  In 
  both 
  lists 
  1447-1450 
  are 
  recorded 
  with 
  their 
  dates 
  as 
  

   well 
  as 
  with 
  their 
  numbers.
