as in B. giclica, &c, than those of the female. This species can 

 readily be distinguished from any other of its genus by the entire 

 absence of a dark discoidal spot from both surfaces of both wings 

 in each sex, and by the presence of a double row of yellow or 

 orange spots, unaccompanied by any dark markings, on the under- 

 side of the hind wing. It is probably a " dry-season " form, and 

 perhaps most nearly recalls the dry-season B. abt/ssinica Luc, but 

 it is far less heavily marked.
