and elongate spots, the first situated above second subcostal nervule, the others between the nervules, the 

 last two of which are followed by two irregularly shaped spots; two long narrow fascia 1 , united at base, the 

 upper of which runs parallel to median nervine, and is then detiexed along inner side of third median 

 nurvtili', the lower parallel to submediau nervure; two long fascia; on abdominal margin, divided by 

 internal nervure; a waved subiuarginal row of small spots (obsolete near base in male and continuous in 

 female), and a marginal row of small spots, inconstant in size and distinctness. Underside of wings 

 somewhat paler ; marginal rows of spots to both wings, and submarginal row to posterior wings, 

 continuous and distinct. Posterior wings with two basal spots before precostal nervure, and a curved 

 basal fascia above costal nervure, which is hidden above by the inner margin of anterior wing. Mead and 

 thorax above spotted and streaked with white ; abdomen fuscous above, white beueath ; sternum black, 

 spotted with white; undersides of palpi, trochanters and femora white. 



The posterior wing of the male is provided with two spatular scent^Jamls, the largest situated on 

 third median nervule, and the smallest on submediau nervure.

A female form is here figured. By a curious accident the specimens of this species in the 

 Collection of the British Museum have hitherto stood in the name of IK $rammica } mi probably 

 this error may have had somewhat wide circulation, by collectors having accepted the Museum 

 name without the necessary certification by reference to Boisduval'a figure. 



B. Anterior wings with the Stolid snbeo&tal nervule not emitted distinctly before the end aj discoidal cell. 

 c, Male provided with one, scent-gland on posterior w 'uujs. 



d. Posterior unrigs with costal margin slightly curved, and tvith the first suheoatal nervule not longer 

 than the second.

Male and female. Wings above dark glossy fuscous, with pale bluish spots and markings. Anterior 

 wings above dark glossy fuscous* with the following pale bluish markings: — a longitudinal basal streak in 

 cell, followed near its apes by a transverse irregular and much siuuatcd fascia; beyond cell are three elongate 

 and linear subcostal spots, the inner two placed close together near end of cell ; beneath these arc three 

 linear streaks, the first and smallest situated above and the second and largest beneath the first discoidal 

 nervule ; thirteen irregular spots on diseal surface, upper three divided between discoidal uervules, and the 

 remainder thus situated— four between first and second median uervules, linn between eecmid and third 

 median uervules, and three between third median nervule ami submediau nervine, which nervure is also 

 preceded by a subparallel linear basal streak ; aud a marginal series of small spots irregularly sized and 

 placed. Posterior wings above dark glossy fuscous, with the following pale bluish markings : — two long 

 fascial in cell, broadly united at base, and widely divergent at apex ; the cell is followed and surrounded by 

 the following streaks or fascire : — a narrow linear and outwardly thickened one above subcostal nervure, three 

 which are much broader divided by lower subcostal and discoidal uervules, two which are very narrow,
