Oharaxes smaragdalis orientalis, subsp. n. 



S . Differs from the type-form in reduced blue on both wings. 

 The patch below vein 2 on the fore iving is reduced distally and 

 is indistinctly divided by a curved line between vein 2 and the 

 submedian, a line which sometimes appears in the typical form. 

 The blue band of the hind iving does not extend basad beyond 

 the point of origin of veins 3 and 4 ; it is also reduced distally 

 and the spot in 6 is only about two-thirds the typical size ; the 

 submai'ginal spots have only the faintest trace of a white dot. 



Underside more yellowish, the yellow subterminal lunules 

 thicker and without any white scaling.
