?. The type-specimen dift'ers from the other subspecies especially in tlie 

 following points : 



Forewing, idiori' : the discal line very faint, more proximal than in the other 

 forms, touching lower angle of cell, postdiscal line also more proximal, crossing 

 15- abont s mm. from the distal margin and It mm. from the cell ; no dentate line 

 between discal and postdiscal lines. l'»fl('r.v<l(' : fore- and hindwing without discal 

 line, the postdiscal line of forewing more proximal than in the other forms, on 

 hindwing a little nearer cell at R' than distal margin. Eighth tergite with pointed 

 jivramidal cones as in //■//. iiiidittits, lint less sinnate : vaginal jdate similar to tliat 

 of tiil. iiiiilatiifi.

 triliiii'Htiig mav turn out to be an nberrant individnal, instead of being a representative 

 of a N.AV. India subspecies.
