series of seven very small but distinct black nervular spots from third 
subcostal nervule (at apex) to first median nervule ; about apex some 
black scaling, forming a very narrow border, uniting more or less 
incompletely the liind-marginal spots one to three or (rarely) four ; an 
exceedingly slender black hind-marginal edging line from apex to third 
median nervule. Hind-iving : a hind-marginal series of seven minute 
black spots at extremities of nervules, of which those on median ner- 
vules are best developed. Under side. — Hind-iuing and apex of fore- 
luing {rather loidely) very pale didl-yelloivish. Fore-ioing : costa narrowly 
tinged with dull -yellowish ; rarely a faint or very faint small discal 
fuscous spot between third and second median nervules ; apical pale- 
yellowish very narrowly continued along hind-margin to about first 
median nervule ; hind-marginal spots either wanting entirely or ex- 
tremely minute. Hind-iving : costa narrowly edged with ochre-yellow 
from close to base almost to extremity of costal nervure ; a discal row 
of five more or less indistinct small fuscous inter-nervular spots (of 
which the third, between third and second median nervules, is best 
expressed), between second subcostal nervule and submedian nervure ; 
hind-marginal spots as on uj)per side. 
$ Fore-iuing tinged luith pale oclireous-yelloiu on margins ; liiiid-iving 
ivliolly pale ochreous-ycllow ; dark markings larger generally than in 
Fore-wing : ochreous-yellow tinge sometimes more or less faintly per- 
vading the whole area, but always more developed marginally, especially 
about apex and narrowly along hind-margin ; costal margin from base 
usually more or less thinly sprinkled with fuscous ; a co7ispicuous fuscous 
spot on disc hetwecn third and second median nervules^ and usually an 
ill-defined diffused fuscous mark between first median nervule and sub- 
median nervare (sometimes vaguely extended to posterior angle by 
fuscous scaling below submedian nervure) ; rarely the faint trace of a 
third, much smaller spot, between second and first median nervules ; 
nervular hind-marginal spots larger (sometimes very much larger) and 
longer, and including an additional one, smaller than the rest, at 
extremity of submedian nervure. Hind-iving : neuration marked with 
whitish ; hind-marginal spots always larger, and usually conspicuous ; 
usually the more or less indistinct traces of a curved discal row of 
small fuscous spots between second subcostal nervule and submedian 
nervure. Under side. — Hind-iving and apical and marginal yelloio of 
fore-wing rather deeper in tint than on upper side, and altogether different 
from the colouring of the ^ ; ^ hind-marginal spots rarely much larger 
than in and in fore-wing sometimes wanting. Fore-iving : upj^er 
discal spot darker than above ; lower one better defined, very much 
smaller, not diffused ; trace of intermediate spot seldom present. Hind- 
vnng : six inter-nervular spots in curved discal row constant in number, 
small, somewhat diffused, and ill-defined ; costal edging from base 
orange-red, wider than in and faintly continued beyond middle. 
^ In the figv;re of the S, pi. x. fig. 5, the yellow of the under side is too deep and 
decided in tint.
