second line and margin of the eolonr ol' the disc or a little paler ; fringe oc.hraceons 



and more or less brown. Hiudwiug : two discal lines, the inner one the heavier, 



more or less separated into triangular or angle-sliaped spots ; the brown marginal 

 border also separated into spots from C to 31', spot I!- — R' more projecting discad 

 tlian the others, spot V — SG^ small, sometimes vestigial, 



tj. Tenth abdominal tergite trnucate-sinnate. Process of harpe slender, curved 

 at end, ]iiiiuted. Penis-sheath (PI. LVII. f. 23) with a short dentate process 

 which projects jiroximad as in the allied species ; at the left side there is an 

 oblique, slightly raised band of irregularly dispersed teeth. 



Early stages not known.

cj ? . Intermediate lietween fifji/a and urojitnlcmus, agreeing better with the 

 latter than with the former, except in the pale colour of the band of the hindwiug. 



Wings, ahore. Forewing : no dot in cell, subapical costal dot seldom 



indicated. Hindwing rather narrower and band more red than in lihi/a ; the band 



much paler than in neoptoleniKS, reaching costal margin, its inner edge rather 

 irregular and ill-detined, concave from R- to M- ; the blaclc border of the wing 

 much more even than in Uhyri, broadest between R- and M-, much narrower than 

 the pink band,, sharply defined, not dentate near R-, sto])ping at (', where it is 

 narrowed almost to a point. 



Umlerside. Forewing : the discal band emanating from the brown snbdiscal 



area, which is not so dark as in Ubija, thin and not interrupted, more ol)li(|ue than 

 in lihya, pointing towards the subapical costal dot, the line sometimes absent; 

 beyond it follow three or two faint continuous lines, occasionally absent ; the 

 nerve-dots not cjuite so consjiicnous as in lihya ; the two lines from ajiex of wing 

 closer together ; the angle formed between R- and R^ much more obtuse than in 



libt/a ; outer margin less bright than disc ; fringe ochraceous. Discal lines of 



hindwing straigliter than in libija, not divided into spots, outer marginal border 

 more even, continuous, less jirojecting discad between R' and R' ; no marginal spot 

 before 8C-. External spur of midtibia aj)parentJy always longer than the interna! 

 one, but the dift'ereuce is sometimes not conspicuous, especially in ? ?. 



S. Process of penis-sheath (PI. LVII. f. 24) obviously Iwiger than in libifo.
