A. E. W] LEMAN : 



yellow ; a yellow patch at base as in adelma, Leech, but apparently 

 longer ; curved, discal series of five spots from near basal patch to 

 second median interspace, followed in the third median interspace by 

 two elongated streaks from near base which are generally more or less 

 confluent with the corresponding spots of the curved submargina] 

 scries of seven yellow spots ; interspaces from abdominal margin to 

 submedian interspace generally paler in colour. 



Underside — forewing. Same as upper side but spots etc. more 

 conspicuous and there are eight spots in the submarginal band instead 

 of seven, those near apex and costa being generally tinged witli 

 yellow and all the other spots white. 



Underside — hindwing. A patch at base intersected by the 

 precostai ; all markings bold, regular large and all of a deep or dull 

 canary-yellow, more conspicuous than on upper side eight spots in 

 submarginal band instead of seven, neither of the elongated streaks in 

 the third median interspace ever being confluent with the submarginal 

 series ; an uninterrupted black space runs between the discal and 

 submarginal bands from submedian nervure to costa. 



Female. Ueppersidc-forewing. Discal band curved much as in 

 var. adelma (fig 6 but with eight spots and streaks instead of 

 seven. 



Upperside-hindwing. Only the elongated streaks, one in second 

 median interspace and two in the third median interspace, are of a 

 canary-yellow, all other markings are white, or very slightly tinged 

 with yellow. 



Abdominal fold to submedian white. Underside, very similar to 

 female var. adelma, Leech. 



This species appears at Arisan from May to August. When I 

 was at Arisan in August, 1908 there were only a few worn specimens 

 Hying about the last seen having been captured on August 16. It 

 has a slow, deliberate, graceful flight and I observed it up to 8000 

 feet, but it does not seem to occur below 6000 feet.
