HYPOLYCMNIN^. 125 



nervule, the black marginal border expanding at the hinder angle of the wing and 

 running decreasingly along the hinder margin to the middle. Hlndwimj with the 

 costa narrowly white, the rest of the costal space down to the sub-costal vein to its 

 end black, the outer marginal line also black, the abdominal fold greyish-white, the 

 space alongside it rather broadly suffused with pale blackish, the remainder of the 

 wing bluish-grey, or greyish-blue, variegated a little with pale whitish in parts ; tails 

 black, tipped with white. Cilia of both wings pure white. Underside white ; with a 

 number of large deep black spots. Forewing with a spot in the middle of the cell, its 

 upper end extending a little outside the cell, another at the end, a spot below the 

 lower end just touching it, two smaller (twin spots) above, on the costa, a discal series 

 of three spots, one just outside the lower outer end of the costal twin spot, another 

 a little outwards touching vein 4, and the third (a twin spot) below it on the sub- 

 median vein, a spot close to the apex, a sub-marginal spot on vein 5 and a linear 

 sub-marginal spot alongside and close to the lower twin spot, a series of small linear 

 marks between the sub-marginal spots. Hindwiny with a sub-basal spot above the 

 cell, its lower end just touching it, a linear spot at the end of the cell, a spot on 

 the median vein, at the base of the first median nervule, a spot touching the 

 sub-median vein and a smaller one close to the abdominal margin, the four spots 

 from the discocellular spot to this one placed in a slightly inward curve ; a discal series 

 of nine spots, the first near the costa above the discocellular spot, the next close to it 

 below, but a little outwards, then two smaller spots in a line with the upper tw^o, but 

 well separated from them, the lower one close to the outer margin, the fifth placed a 

 little below it but well inwards, these five more or less annular, and are followed 

 inwards by three linear marks and an angulated mark reaching the abdominal margin 

 a little above the anal angle, where there is a black fine below it ; a sub-marginal 

 spot below the apex, with a small lunular spot above it and a series of small lunular 

 spots in continuation to the anal angle. Antennae black, ringed with white, club 

 with a dull red tip ; frons white, with a black middle stripe ; head and body black 

 above, with bluish-grey pubescence, white beneath. 



Female. Upperside black, the inner area from the base to near the outer 

 margin white, narrow at the base and increasing in width outwards, the white space 

 limited above by the median vein and extending upwards outside the cell above vein 4 

 and extending hindwards nearly- to the sub-median vein, varying in extent a little 

 in different examples. The basal portion of the white space with some dark bluish-grey 

 scales. Hindwing with the costa narrowly white, the costal space above the sub-costal 

 vein black, the base of the wing suffused with blackish, with some bluish-grey scales, 

 the outer margin with bluish-grey suft'usion, broadening rapidly from the apex hindwards, 

 the suffusion extending rather broadly up the abdominal space, inside the abdominal 

 fold, which is pale and becomes white basally ; a series of pale black sub-marginal spots,
