and large patch between median nervure and inner margin ; two 

 spots between veins 2 and 5, sometimes connected with the basal 

 patch and sometimes with the upper spot reduced or absent. 



Typical annulata is a large form, the antennae white at tips, the 

 vertex of head orange, and the spots of hind wing well separated. 



Ab. 1. A small form with the spots of hind wing small and 

 separate, the spot above vein 3 minute or absent. («) intensa, Meyr. 

 {nee Butl.), hind wing with small spot in base of cell ; {h) jjhejisalotis, 

 hind A\ ing without spot in cell. 



Antennae with the tips black. 



Ab. 2. AVith a small spot on fore wing between veins 5 and 6. 

 (a) cingulata = S(/nedra, abdomen with anal segment orange except 

 at base ; (b) pyrocoma, abdomen with small orange spot on anal 

 segment. 



Ah. 3. intensa ^liesperifis: without the spot between veins 

 5 and 6. 



Ab. 4. ni(jriceps : with the vertex of head black. 



Ab. 5. Hind wing with the spots conjoined, the vertex of head 

 orange. 



Ab. 6. chroma : a small form with the spots of hind wing
