CIEEOCHROA. 425 



S 2 • Fore wing : apex produced but rounded, termen slightly 

 concave. — <$ . Upperside rich reddish fulvous ; bases of wings 

 lightly shaded with ochraceous brown ; basal halves of both fore 

 and hind wings a shade darker than the terminal halves, the outer 

 margin of this colour defined by an obscure outwardly-curved dark 

 line crossing both wings. Fore wing : the usual short transverse 

 discocellular dark streak ; apex and ten n en jet-black, the edging- 

 very broad on the costal margin, decreasing in width to the 

 dorsum, the black area on the apex encircling a very short obliquely- 

 placed streak of the ground-colour. Hind wing : the usual 

 white patch in interspace 7 ; discal row of transverse black spots 

 and postdiscal transverse lunular black line ; terminal margin 

 somewhat broad, coalescing with the subterminai black transverse 

 lunular line anteriorly, more or less distinct from it posteriorly. 

 Underside ochraceous ; some transverse dark subbasal marks ; fore 

 and hind wings with an irregular transverse discal band, pale 

 ochraceous on the fore, white on the hind wing ; on the fore wing 

 this band is broad on the costal margin, gradually narrows to the 

 dorsum, and is defined on either side by dark diffuse ochraceous 

 lines ; on the hind wing it is attenuated below vein 6 to middle of 

 interspace 4. Fore wing : a dusky fuliginous shade on apex and 

 termen ; a preapical oblique short white streak ; subterminai and 

 terminal dark ochraceous lunular bands, their margins clearly 

 defined. Hind wing : the usual discal series of small black spots, 

 followed by dark ochraceous subterminai and terminal bands as 

 on the fore wing. Antennae dark brown ; head and abdomen 

 fulvous ; thorax with greenish pubescence ; beneath, palpi, thorax 

 and abdomen pale ochraceous. — 2 • Upperside : basal halves of 

 both fore and hind wings ochraceous brown, the outer margin of 

 the colour crenulate; terminal halves pale yellow. Fore wing 

 with the usual discocellular transverse short dark streak and black 

 edging to the apex and termen as in the 3 . Hind wing : the 

 discal transverse series of black spots, postdiscal, subterminai 

 and terminal markings as in the tf , but less clearly defined and 

 somewhat diffuse. Underside : ground-colour of basal and terminal 

 halves of wings as on the upperside, but much paler, the markings 

 similar to those in the S .
