3S4 symphalidj;. 



short, subequal ; veins 8 and 9 out of apical half of 7, 10 and 11 

 free, from just below apex of cell. Hind wing : costa arched ; 

 termen scalloped outwardly, oblique to apex of vein 3, there pro- 

 duced into a tail, below which it is inwardly oblique, slightly 

 concave to tornal lobe at apex of vein 1 ; dorsum straight from 

 base for about two-thirds of its length, then deeply emarginate and 

 again notched slightly beyond ; ceil open. Antennae long, more 

 than half length of fore wing, club gradual, long ; palpi obliquely 

 porrect, broad and somewhat flat in front, third joint long, acute 

 at apex ; eyes naked., 



A single form occurs within our limits.

(5 . Upper side reddish fulvous. Pore and hind wings with the 

 apex and terminal margins broadly black, broader on the fore than 

 on the hind wing ; on the latter sometimes eonspicuousljr narrowing 

 posteriorly especially between the tail and tornus ; three postdiscal 

 posterior round black spots, and the tail and interspaces outwardly 

 touched with reddish fulvous, the tornal angle with blue. Under- 

 side rich dark brown ; basal halves of both fore and hind wings 

 with several very slender delicate transverse silvery lines, the outer 

 three of which form a sort of discal inwardly curved band on fore 

 wing ; beyond this a dark brown transverse shaded narrow band, 

 double on the hind wing, the inner one somewhat lunular, followed 

 by a series of somewhat obscure round white-centred brown ocelli, 

 and three broken subterminal silvery lines. The ocellus in inter- 

 space 1 on the fore wing inwardly bordered by a conspicuous 

 transverse white spot ; on the hind wing the ocelli in interspaces 

 .2, 4, 5 and 6 inwardly bordered with rich dark ochraceous ; a spot 

 of the same colour on the tail ; the tornal lobe with a short trans- 

 verse line above it. Antennae dark brown, head and thorax 

 somewhat greenish brown, abdomen fulvous red ; beneath brown, 

 palpi ochraceous white. — 2 • Upperside : ground-colour ochraceous 

 yellow, basal areas of wings shaded broadly with brown ; black 

 terminal margins of the wings and markings as in the <$ . Under- 

 side : basal areas of wings from costa beyond bases of veins 5, 6 

 and 7 in the fore wing to a point about middle of dorsal margin of 

 hind wing brown, the outer border of this brown shading outwardly 

 concave on fore, inwardly oblique on hind wing ; a very broad 

 brown, transverse, pale ochraceous band, darkening to yellow 

 outwardly, followed by a broad brown terminal margin, traversed 

 by a series of ocelli as in the c? , and an inner and outer subterminal 

 sinuous white fascia ; the basal area and the inner half of the broad 

 discal band also crossed by several similar white lines. Antennae, 

 head, thorax and abdomen ochraceous, paler beneath.
