 represented on the fore wing by black irregular spots in inter- 

 spaces 1, 2 and 3 ; finally, an anteciliary slender black line as on 

 the upperside. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen brown ; 

 palpi, thorax and abdomen beneath whitish.

(3 2 • Closely resembles L. trivena. Differs on both upper and 

 under sides by the narrowness of the discal band, which is only 

 about two-thirds the width of the discal band in L. trivena. 

 Moreover, the spots composing the band are well separated on the 

 hind wing as well as on the fore. In typical specimens the 

 postdiscal series of black spots is margined outwardly with ferru- 

 ginous red, but this is variable ; in some it is absent, while in 

 others (var. hydaspes) there is an additional row of ferruginous- 

 red dots on the inner side of the postdiscal series of black spots. 

 Underside similar to the underside in L. trivena, but on the whole 

 of a darker ochraceous yellow, with the markings more prominent. 

 In the majority of specimens also the apical half of cell and the 

 area bounded by the discal band in the fore wing and a postdiscal 

 and subterminal row of large round spots on the hind wing are of 

 a deep ochraceous orange.
