MILTOCHRISTA. 119 



beyond the cell ; a series of long streaks in the marginal interspaces ; 

 black lines between the series of crimson spots, these lines being 

 sometimes reduced to series of specks ; the outer line produced 

 into more or less prominent streaks between the crimson streaks. 

 Hind wing crimson or ochreous. 



The form jtammealis=mactans has the ground-colour of fore wing 

 slightly suffused with crimson ; in gratiosa it is yellow, the first 

 two black lines being reduced to specks ; in pretiosa the hind wing 

 is but slightly tinged with crimson, in defecta it is ochreous : in 

 pulchra and striata, from Japan and China, the fore wing is slightly 

 shorter and broader, the postmedial black line reduced to specks 

 and the black streaks slightly developed ; the former has the hind 

 wing crimson, the latter ochreous. A specimen from the Khasis 

 has the red markings of fore wing almost obsolete.
