replaced by three large, connected whitish spots ; the black 

 markings broader and less defined at edges than in ordinary 

 specimens. 



The above-mentioned variety of the female is noticed, rather doubtfully, 

 by Boisduval (in his Appendix to M. Delegorgue's Travels) as one which 

 he supposes "ought to be considered as a variety of the female of lone"

 orange-tipped examples, no doubt remains in my mind knowing the 

 constant tendency of the species of this Genus to vary in this respect of 

 its being the real lone.
