c? ? . External row of spines of first protarsal segment irregnlarly doubled in 

 basal half Spurs shorter than in versicolor, crest of head higher, apex of forewing 

 and angle RM- of hindwing more projecting. The individuals in which the pale olive- 

 green colour has nearly or totally disai)peared from the upperside of the forewing 

 are rarer in the north than the south. It is possible that a greater percentage of 

 the individuals of the second brood than of the first belong to the uniformly coloured 

 f. cnotus ; observations on this point are a desideratum. 



S. Tenth segment as in Darap.sa p//olit.<i. Friction-scales of clasper numerous, 

 truncate ; harpe (PI. XLVIII. f 12) with a short stout process which is thinnest 

 at the base ; the upperside of this process covered with minute teeth, the underside 

 also rough with teeth, the sides finely rugose. Penis-sheath (PI. LIV. f 19) : 

 right process smaller than left, simple or dentate, the left dentate at the edges. 



? . Eighth tergite as in Darapsa pkohis, the sides somewhat produced. Vaginal 

 plate narrower apically than in J>. phobis, the raised edge of the vaginal orifice less 

 chitinised. 



Larva green or brown, in various shades, a pale dorso-lateral line from fourth 

 segment to horn, to which line are joined obli(]ue pale side-bands which terminate 

 at the Hue and are each restricted to one segment ; horn with black granules ; a 

 dorsal series of pale patches with dark (brown or reddish) centres. — Food-plants : 

 Ampelopsis : I "itis. 



Pupa slenderer than in versicolor, witli vestige of anteocnlar tnbercle; cremaster 

 long, conical, tip bifid.
