ARGYNNIS PAPHIA, Ab. 



This remarkable variety of Argynnis pajjhia I captured July 

 2nd this year in Whatcombe Wood, near Blandford. It is a 

 male, and measures a little over two and a half inches from tip 

 to tip of fore wings. All the lighter colouring of the fore wings 

 is of a deep fulvous, the darker markings black, running into 

 dark brown. In the hind wing the fulvous or ochreous colour 

 is deeper, running into dark olive-green in the lower part of the 

 wing. The under side of the fore wing resembles the upper 

 surface, only lighter, and the tips are of a silvery green. The 

 hind wings are marked with varied shades of silvery green.
