reduced in extent and size ; in some also the crimson is replaced 

 by pink. This may be partly seasonal or due to either a drier 

 or a damper habitat. The form named charino by Gray is most 

 probably a wet-season or autumn form. It differs from typical 

 hardivickei as follows : c? $ Upperside : more or less completely 

 and densely irrorated with dusky black, from which on the fore 

 wing two bars that cross the cell, a short oblique bar beyond its 

 apex, a postdiscal spot near the costa beyond the crimson spots, and 

 a subtermiual series of spots stand out conspicuously white ; on the 

 hind wing the interval between the basal and postmedial crimson 

 spots in interspace 7 is also prominently white. Underside : 

 markings as on the upperside chiefly seen through by transparency, 

 the apex broadly and terminal margin of fore wing and the whole 

 of the hind wing suffused conspicuously with greenish yellow.

Typical delphius has not been recorded from within our limits, 

 but the varieties described below seem fairly constant in coloration, 

 and may be ranked as races of one protean form. 



Race stoliczkanus, Felder. d . Upperside : dull white. Fore 

 wing : base and costal margin irrorated with black scales ; cell 

 with the usual medial and apical short black transverse bars, the 

 former not. extended down to the median vein in typical specimens ;
