48 LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 



Var. a. Thorax with a broad yellow stripe on each side in 

 front. Fore wings with several blue spots at the base, and with 

 three macular white bands; the first of two large subquadrate spots ; 

 the second of five spots, four of tbem forming two pairs, the hindmost 

 one single; the third of five spots. Hind wings luteous with a deep 

 black border which is much widened at the tips, and with two black 

 spots, one on the fore border the other on the disk and extending to 

 the inner border and connected with the hind border by three black 

 bands, of which the middle one is much broader than the other two ; 

 three white spots on the hind border. Has much resemblance to 

 E. lectrix. 



Var. (3. Like var. a. ; first band of the fore wings yellow, the 

 spots almost connected, as are also the pairs of spots in the second 

 band. Hind wings with two black bands between the discal spot 

 and the hind border, which contains only two white spots. Silhet. 



Var. y. Like var. /3. Fore wings with the second bands com- 

 posed of three spots, of which the first and second are yellow. Hind 

 wings reddish, with only one black band between the discal spot and 

 the hind border. Silhet. 



Var. 8. Like var. /3. Hind wings luteous, with two black bands 

 between the discal spot and the hind border which contains four 

 white spots. 



Var. e. Like var. a. Thorax with a white spot on each side in 

 front instead of the stripes. Fore wings with the blue spots less 

 conspicuous ; first band entire ; second composed of four spots, of 

 which the second forms a short band. Hind wings reddish, more 

 black at the base, but less so at the tips ; fore spot larger and more 

 angular ; discal spot emitting one band. There are many varieties 

 intermediate between this and the following. 



Var. f. Like var. c. Fore wings with pale luteous bands, of 

 which the first is entire ; the second is formed by three spots, of 

 which the second forms a short curved band, and the third is a dot. 

 Hind wings with only one pale luteous dot on the black border near 

 the tip. 



Var. 7). Like var. a. Fore wings with two macular bands, the 

 first composed of two yellow spots, the second of six rather large 

 elongated subfusiform white spots. Hind wings red ; fore spot an- 

 gular ; discal spot emitting two black bands to the hind border which 

 contains three white dots. Java. This differs much from all the 

 preceding vars. in the structure of the second band of the fore wings,
