 lateral width, third joint very short and thick ; antennae in male of 

 normal form, and more minutely bipectinate ; legs less pilose.

Hab. C. and S. Europe, N.W. India (Solun, Dharmsala). 



There appear to be two forms (which are perhaps seasonal) of this 

 species in N.W. India. Some specimens of both sexes are com- 

 paratively smaller, distinctly paler above, and with all the markings, 

 including the sagittate mark near the apex, white ; the underside also 

 is much paler in colour. 



Cotanda, u. g. 



Fore wing elongated, narrow ; costa almost straight, apex acute, 

 exterior margin angled in the middle, posterior margin recurved ; 

 costal vein extending two thirds the margin ; first subcostal branch 

 emitted at half length before end of the cell, second at one fourth, 

 trifurcate, the third at one fourth from base of second, fourth at one 

 third from base of third, fifth from end of the cell and touching the 

 third near its base ; discocellular bent near each end, slightly concave 

 in the middle, the radials from the angles ; upper median branch 

 from oblique angle at end of the cell, middle branch from angle 

 before the end, lower at one third before the end ; submedian curved 

 downward and extending near the posterior margin. Hind wing with 

 the costal margin long, straight, apex convex, exterior margin waved, 

 abdominal margin short ; costal vein slightly recurved, extending to 

 apex ; two subcostal branches from end of the cell ; discocellular 

 slightly bent near lower end, radial from the angle ; two upper

 end ; submedian and internal vein straight. Body moderately stout, 

 abdomen extending beyond hind wing ; palpi broad laterally, slightly 

 ascending, second joint laxly squamose, extending two thirds its 

 length beyond the head, third joint short ; legs long, femur slightly
