The principal variation of this .speciii.s appears to be in the 

 yellowish spotting ot the niarj:;inal bhick border ot' iiiiid wiiig.s. 

 Houibert rightly remarks [Elinl. Lep. Comp. xv. p. 505 

 (11)18)] that tliis character is individtial and not sexual ; 

 iladame Fournier's series of males varies from a specimen 

 with but a faint indication of a yellowi.sh .s])(>t at anal an""le 

 to am it her which ha.s a series of seven spots.

This species appears to be exceedingly raie, and, with the 

 scanty material to work upon, it is very ditficult to say 

 wLetiier there are several races or not. Houlbcit had appa- 

 rently no specimen for examination, and was oidy acquainted 

 with the various figures. I am inclined to think that 

 Cramer^s figure, witliuut black band on hind wing below, 

 represents au extreme aberration, and that Strand's figure in 

 Seitz. Grossschmett. Erde, vol. vi. pi. vi. c (1913), represents 

 the other extreme with heavy black band on hind wing below. 

 The two females before me are intermediate between these 

 two, and one of these has the band slightly more accentuated 

 than the other. Therefore I think this character is of no 

 .specific value whatever, and of doubtful subspecitic value; 

 one of the females has the norvular white ray.s of fore wing 

 well marked, as in Cramer's tiguri*. 



The males have the underside of hind wing entirely 

 without dark band ; the two specimens differ slightly, 

 inasmuch as one of thciu somewhat resembles the female in
