distinguished from that species by their slightly larger size and the much greater 

 development of the pale markings on both upper and under sides.

According to the figure the female of 1 '. jankowskii, Ob. (the only sex figured), differs 

 from females in Elwes's collection from Yesso in having the spots on the fore wing above 

 not so pale and the pale postmedian band continued towards the dorsum by two spots in 

 cell 1 a divided by the intraneural fold, instead of stopping short at vein 2 ; but we 

 agree with Staudinger in considering this a synomym of aquilina.

Vein 1 a of fore wing angularly bent near the base in both sexes. Tornus of hind 

 wing distinctly produced. Vein 2 of fore wing arising nearer the base in the male 

 than in the female. Pale spots on the fore wing better developed in the female than 

 in the male, and sometimes present in that sex only. Hind tibiae in the male fringed. 



The species known to us we distingush as folliovvs: — 



1 (16). Hind wing below without a pale band from the costa towards 



the tornus. 



2 (13). Fringe of the hind wing not yellow in the tornal region. 



3 (8). Hind wing below with a pale spot in the cell, next the 



transverse vein. 



4 (7). Termen of bind wing distinctly concave from vein 3 to vein 1 b, 



the tornus therefore distinctly produced. 



5 (6). Hind wing below: pale cell-spot small and roundish, less than 



half as wide as the cell . . badra, Moore. 



6 (5) . Hind wing below : pale cell-spot large and subquadrate, 



nearly as wide as the cell, the pale spot in cell 1 b correlatively 



larger gnceus, Plotz. 



7 (4) . Termen of hind wing straight from vein 3 to vein 1 b ; the hind 



wing therefore simply angulated at the apex of vein lb . . anura, de Nicev. 



8 (3). No pale spot in the cell on hind wing below. 



9 (12). Sex-mark on the fore wing of the male a broad seam of modified 



scales passing from the dorsum near the middle to the base 

 of vein 3.
