surface of the hind wing the speculum is paler and bigger and the discal band, at least in the 

 male, is always more prominently edged or suffused with orange, whilst the postdiscal band is 

 more prominent, being clear, rich orange in the dry season form though much suffused with 

 fuscous scales in the wet season form. On the under surface the mottling is rusty red in the 

 male, rather more purple in the female, and is always lighter and redder than in the correspond- 

 ing seasonal forms of cnacalis.

o* differs from ssp. epira in having wider white markings. On the fore wing the cell streak 

 and streak beyond cell are barely sullied with fuscous scales, and on the hind wing the discal 

 band is half as wide again as in epira. In addition the grey postdiscal fascia on the fore wing 

 and submarginal fascia on the hind wing are more prominent. The under surface differs from 

 epira in having wider white markings. 



$ has still wider white markings than the male, the hind wing discal band being half as wide 

 again, whilst the grey fasciae are also more prominent.

In the type the cell streak and streak beyond cell are much more sullied than in 

 the authors' figure. Apart from the type only one female ' ex Museo Boisduval ' 

 without further data which, like the female of ssp. luzonensis, has a wider hind 

 wing discal band than the male.
