c? 2 . The Interspace M' — M^ of the njjperside of the forewing outside the green 

 area nearly as dark as this area itself; no white lines behind M- ; the border (' — R' 

 uf tlie green area less white tliaii in the western subspecies ; the two lines between 

 the snbbasal band and the antemedian olive-green line not distinct ; bntf band of 

 the hindwing on the whole broader than in It. hifpothous. Left process of penis- 

 sheath shorter than iu tlie preceding, not reaching the base of the right one.

 less red.
