PANTOPORIA. 311 



In the dry-season form the ground-colour in both sexes is brown, 

 paler in the $ than in the <$ ; the discal band variable in width, 

 but on the whole broader both on the upper and under sides, and 

 the ground-colour on the underside ochraceous brown. 



Larva and pupa. " Like that of A. inara, Doubleday & Hewit- 

 son, but the dorsal patch is much smaller and there are some 

 white spots on the sides. The pupa is distinguished from that of 

 A. inara by slight differences in the shape of the grotesque 

 processes on the head and thorax. The common food-plant is the 

 Adnia cordifolia." (Davidson, Bell Sf Aitken.)

c? . Upperside superficially resembles the upperside of A. seleno- 

 pliora S ; but on the fore wing the discoidal streak is more obscure, 

 the three obliquely-placed white spots composing the anterior por- 

 tion of the discal band are preapically transverse on the wing and 

 are sometimes not white but fuliginous brown ; the postdiscal and 

 subterminal lines on the hind wing are more continuous. Underside 

 also resembles, but more closely, the underside of A. selenophora J , 

 but the ground-colour is darker, the discoidal streak and transverse 

 preapical spots on the fore wing and the postdiscal and subterminal 

 lines on the hind wing lilac, the latter two more continuous, not 

 macular. — $ altogether different. Upperside fuliginous brown 

 with cliff use sullied white markings. Fore wing with the discoidal 

 streak long and undivided ; beyond apex of cell an elongate narrow 

 triangular spot ; discal band long and narrow posteriorly and very 

 oblique, extending in interspace 3 diffusely to the inner subterminal 

 band ; the three spots composing its anterior portion also very 

 oblique ; the inner subterminal band broad and distinct ; outer 

 subterminal band distinct only posteriorly. Hind wing with the 

 usual subbasal, postdiscal and subterminal bands, the former two 

 sullied white, the postdiscal very diffuse, the subterminal pale 

 brown. Underside ochraceous brown, the sullied white markings 

 as on the upperside, a series of dark ferruginous diffuse marks 

 resembling stains from near apex of fore to dorsal margin of 

 hind wing ; this last broadly bluish. Antennae, head, thorax and 

 abdomen dark brown ; beneath, palpi, thorax and abdomen white 

 suffused with pale blue. The usual abdominal bar at base above. 



Exp. S 2 64-68 mm. (2-52-2-71").
