black niai kings of hind wing above ; some .specimens liavo 

 the double serie.=», marginal and siibmarginal, well develop(;d ; 

 others have the subinarginal series wanting, and, again, others 

 lack the marginal series. At present I have not seen an 

 examjde whicli entirely wants both scries, but one specimen 

 in Madame Fournior^s collection has the subniarginal spots 

 barely indicated by reddish scales, and the marginal spots are 

 but very slightly developed, being represented only by black 

 scaling on the nervnles.
