series of spots of the ground-colour. In a few specimens there 

 are traces of a postdiscal macular black band, in a very few this

 more prominent.

Race tripuncta, Butler. tf $ Very closely resembles the 

 typical from, but this the southern form or race can be distinguished 

 as follows : c? Upjperside : ground-colour a much deeper tint 

 of salmon-buff, almost orange-yellow. Pore wing : costa heavily 

 irrorated with black scales ; discocellular spot larger, not annular ; 

 postdiscal black fascia at all seasons united to the subterminal 

 fascia and black anticiliary line so that the whole apex and termen 

 of the wing are black, broadly at the costa and gradually narrowed 

 towards the tornal angle. This black area encloses never more 

 than three preapical moderately large spots and a complete series 

 of minute anticiliary specks of the ground-colour. Hind wing : 

 as \nfausta, but the terminal black spots very large. Underside: 

 ground-colour of a richer yellower tint than in the typical form ; 

 markings similar, those on the fore wing dusky black, on the 

 hind wing rose-pink. Antennae, head, thorax, abdomen and sex- 

 mark as in (J of the typical form. $ . Upperside : closely re- 

 sembles the $ form 2 of fausta, but all the markings are darker 

 and conspicuously broader, while the number of the preapical 

 spots of the ground-colour enclosed within the black area on the 

 fore wing is never more than three, the same as in the tf . 

 Underside, fore wing : white sometimes faintly suffused with yellow ; 

 apical and terminal areas anteriorly light to dark ochraceous 

 yellow ; discocellular spot very large ; transverse, postdiscal, 

 macular dark reddish-brown band very broad. Hind wing : pale 

 ochraceous yellow, sparsely powdered with black scales ; trans- 

 verse postdiscal macular band reddish brown and broad as in the 

 fore wing. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in $ form 2 

 of fausta. 



Exp. J $ 52-58 mm. (2-05-2-27").
