and abdomen dark brownish black ; beneath, the palpi, thorax and 

 abdomen fuscous.— $ . Upperside differs from that of L. glau- 

 cescens $ as follows : — ground-colour bright yellow ; colour of 

 basal half of fore wing and its extension between veins 3 and 5 to 

 the postdiscal transverse line dark ferruginous, a patch on the 

 apex, another on the middle of the termen of the fore wing, and 

 the terminal third of the hind wing also dark ferruginous red ; the 

 subterminal black line on the latter wing bordered with obscure 

 reddish yellow; the costal margin broadly suffused with grey. 

 Underside a duller darker ochraceous yellow than in L. glaucescens, 

 more thickly irrorated with transverse minute dark striae ; the usual 

 subbasal, discal, postdiscal and subterminal transverse dark sinuous 

 lines, but the space between the discal and postdiscal lines of a 

 paler yellow than the ground-colour, forming a well-marked trans- 

 verse band across both wings ; on the hind wing the minute 

 transverse dark stria? on the outer side of the postdiscal line 

 coalesce and form a distinct series of diffuse dark spots in the 

 interspaces. Antennae brown, head and thorax brown, abdo- 

 men reddish brown ; beneath, the palpi, thorax and abdomen 

 ochraceous. 



Exp. <$ 2 58-64 mm. (2-3-2-52"). 



Hub. South Andamans. 



The above is the description of the form usually found in the 

 Andamans, but a certain number of specimens seem to represent 

 a dry-season form of this insect ; these are paler, and in fact 

 resemble L. glaucescens much more than the usual form, which is 

 only very slightly distinct from typical horsfieldi.
