S ? . The lobe SC"' of the forewing is less jirominent than the apical lobe. The 

 greenish olive spots iu the basal half of the forewing are variable in size and 

 distinctness. The tliird line of the hindwing is either angled at R- as in euri/cles, 

 or ronnded as in (i.st;/goniis and e/in/aliis, with intergradations ; the se^'ond line is 

 occasionally absent or vestigial, while in other individuals a fourth line appears 

 ontside the third. The tawny speckles of the underside are sometimes numerous ; 

 Bnch speckles appear not rarely also above, where they become occasionally so 

 dense that the hindwing is altogether tawny with the bands not distinct. 

 Individuals like these occur among stritiilis on the continent as well as on the 

 islands, and do not represent a local race ; they are ab. rubripennis. End of antenna
