with silvery white. Hind wing, up to a neatly-marked narrow 

 terminal baud, suffused with pale green with the following bluish- 

 silvery markings, margined on one or both sides very slenderly 

 with black : — a minute spot at base of interspace 7, a transverse 

 slender fascia beyond, continued along the discocellulars, a short 

 transverse slender mark across middle of cell, three short streaks 

 following one another in interspace 1, a curved discai series of 

 almond-shaped spots, the anterior spots of the series bordered 

 with ochraceous, and a subterminal conspicuous series of triangular 

 spots. Between the discai and subterminal markings there is a 

 series of ochraceous dots, and the band of the terminal margin is 

 ochraceous, defined inwardly by a greenish line ; dorsal margin 

 very narrowly silvery. Antennae dark brown ; head, thorax and 

 abdomen ochraceous ; beneath, the palpi and thorax paler, dusky 

 ochraceous, abdomen fuscous white. — $ . Upperside ground-colour 

 darker than in the d , overlaid entirely by dark green, or the base 

 only of both fore and hind wings broadly green, the ground-colour 

 beyond suffused with dark greyish brown : the hind wing poste- 

 riorly, from base to tornus, clothed with long recumbent hairs ; in 

 both fore and hind wings the black markings as in the $ , but the 

 fore wing generally with a pale broad yellow band across middle 

 of cell, and the anterior spots of the discai series on the outer side, 

 of the postdiscal series on both sides, bordered with pale markings. 

 Hind wing: the discai series of spots, either entirely or the 

 anterior spots only, fulvous, and the black spots of the postdiscal 

 series bordered outwardly by pale spots ; the subterminal black 

 markings on both fore and hind wings triangular, with their centres 

 white, the terminal margins brown with a black anticiliary line ; 

 the cilia white alternated with brown. Underside: fore wing 

 ground-colour a darker ochraceous than in the <$ , apex more 

 broadly suffused with greenish, otherwise as in the 6 . Hind 

 wing as in the 6 , the green of a richer shade, the bluish-silvery 

 spots proportionately larger, more clearly margined with black 

 slender lines.

Race manis, Fruhstorfer. — There appears to be a pale and a dark 

 form of this, the eastern representative of clara. The dark variety 

 has been figured under the name of claudia by Pawcett. This differs 

 from clara as follows : — Sexes much more alike. d" • Upperside 

 dark ochraceous yellow. Fore wing : the black discai and post- 

 discal spots narrower, not so neatly defined as in clara, the sub- 

 terminal hastate markings joined to the black along the termen, 

 thus giving to the wing an appearance of having a broad black 

 terminal border, traversed by a series of ochraceous spots. Hind 

 wing : the postdiscal series of spots incomplete, the spot in 

 interspace 4 wanting ; the terminal margin as in the fore 

 wing. Underside fore wing : the terminal margin as well as the 

 apex suffused with greenish ; hind wing : the suffusion of green 

 spreading to the terminal margin, not neatly delimited as in clara.
