   Hind

  In 
  tliree 
  of 
  five 
  examples 
  a 
  small 
  indistinct 
  hind- 
  

   marginal 
  fnscoiis

  — 
  Broivnish 
  grey, 
  with 
  a 
  slight 
  oclireous 
  tinge 
  ; 
  in 
  

   each 
  wing 
  a 
  double 
  darker 
  streak 
  (enclosing 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  ground 
  

   colour) 
  at 
  extremity 
  of 
  discoidal 
  cell, 
  the 
  whole 
  marking 
  being 
  

   white-edged 
  on 
  both 
  sides 
  ; 
  a 
  discal 
  fascia, 
  very 
  strongly 
  incurved 
  

   inferiorly, 
  composed 
  of 
  confluent 
  spots 
  like 
  marking 
  at 
  end 
  of 
  cell 
  ; 
  

   two 
  submarginal 
  rows 
  of 
  whitish 
  lunules 
  enclosing 
  spots 
  slightlj^ 
  

   darker 
  than 
  ground-colour 
  ; 
  and 
  a 
  hind-marginal 
  terminal 
  black 
  

   line, 
  bounded 
  inwardly 
  by 
  a 
  very 
  indistinct 
  whitish 
  edging. 
  Fore 
  

   wing 
  : 
  No 
  marking 
  before 
  extremity 
  of 
  cell 
  ; 
  discal 
  fascia 
  more 
  

   irregular 
  than 
  in 
  Liodes, 
  the 
  4th 
  and 
  5th 
  spots 
  being 
  three-fourths 
  

   before 
  the 
  superior 
  ones, 
  and 
  the 
  6th 
  three-fourths 
  before 
  the 
  5th 
  

   (so 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  quite 
  as 
  near 
  base 
  as 
  terminal 
  disco-cellular 
  spot). 
  

   Hind 
  wing 
  : 
  Discal 
  fascia 
  not 
  so 
  sharply 
  biangulated 
  inferiorly 
  as 
  

   in 
  Liodes, 
  its 
  first 
  spot 
  different 
  from 
  the 
  rest, 
  fuscous, 
  and 
  in 
  a 
  

   complete 
  white 
  ring 
  ; 
  subcostal 
  spot 
  nearer 
  base 
  also 
  similarly 
  

   different 
  from 
  that 
  in 
  Liodes, 
  being 
  quite 
  round 
  and 
  black 
  in 
  a 
  

   white 
  ring; 
  of 
  three 
  hind-marginal 
  black 
  spots 
  near 
  anal 
  angle, 
  

   the 
  1st 
  and 
  3rd 
  are 
  always 
  distinct, 
  dusted 
  with 
  greenish 
  silvery, 
  

   and 
  edged 
  interiorly 
  by 
  an 
  orange 
  lunule 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  2nd 
  is 
  indistinct, 
  

   without 
  orange 
  lunule, 
  and 
  in 
  three 
  of 
  five 
  examples 
  is 
  obsolete. 
  

  

  The 
  colour 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  side, 
  the 
  browner 
  (more 
  

   ochraceous) 
  tint 
  of 
  the 
  under 
  side, 
  and 
  the 
  differences 
  of 
  

   marking 
  italicised 
  in 
  the 
  above 
  description, 
  distinguish 
  

   this 
  species 
  from 
  its 
  near 
  ally, 
  L. 
  Liodes 
  ; 
  the 
  under 
  

   side 
  markings, 
  indeed, 
  approximate 
  it 
  to 
  the 
  larger 
  

   L. 
  Sylvan 
  us 
  (in 
  which, 
  however, 
  the 
  hind 
  wing 
  has 
  three 
  

   subbasal 
  white-ringed 
  spots 
  instead 
  of 
  one 
  only).
