Some of my specimens attain a win^-expausion of 78 millira. in tlic male, 
and 90 millim. in the female. 
Var. pallescens, liutler. " Mah and female. Intermediate between A. vonix and A. adippe ; 
size of the latter. Differs from A. vora.v above in the more dusky tint of basal half of 
secondaries ; below in the presence of throe subapical silver spots (two submarginal and one 
subcostal) in primaries ; a series of small sUver spots, partly obscured by green and ochreous 
scales, just within the central waved discal series of secondaries ; the ocelli bettor detinod ; 
and a submargijial series of seven large spots encircled by a green zone. Expanse of wings 
2 inches 5 lines.- — Hakodadi ( Whitdij) ; four examples, B. M." (Butler, I. c.) 
Var. locuples, Butler. " Male. Size of A. vorax; pattern aud coloration of the upper surface 
similar, excepting that the spots of the discal series are more elongated, and the submar- 
ginal connected lunate spots of the secondaries are rather broader. Primaries below with 
silvery apical submarginal spots, as in A.Jaliiadeva, the darker markings on the apical area 
cupreous brown, with olivaceous margins, the discoidal markings smaller, otherwise as in 
A. vora.v : secondaries below similar in pattern to A. pallescens, but the ground-colour more 
golden in tint, and the submarginal silver spots less sharply defined ; the disk, between the 
series of ferruginous oeelloid spots and the greeu-bordered silver submarginal series, is 
clear buff-colour. Expanse of wings 2 inches 10 lines. 
" Female. Larger than the male, duller aud greener above, with all the black spots larger. Below 
with eight additional subapical silver spots on the primaries, five of them forming a decreasing 
submarginal series, the ground-colour duller and more uniform in tint : secondaries with all 
the silver spots considerably larger, the third series well defined and continued to the sub- 
median vein, so that there are five complete series ; the submarginal series formed of broad 
black-bordered arched spots ; the ground-colour rather deeper, the oeelloid ferruginous spots 
frequently larger than in the male, but always darker. Expanse of wings 2 inches 10 lines 
to 3 inches 3 lines." (Butler, 1. c.) 
The commonest form of A. adij)i)e throughout the area dealt with in the 
present work is var. locuples. 
The silver apical spots on under surface of primaries is a variable character ; 
in some male specimens of this form they are entirely absent. 
Var. COredippe, var. nov. (Plate XXII. figs. 3 c^ , -1 $ .) Male. Rather deep fulvous; the 
venation of all the wings distinctly black and prominent. Primaries have the black 
markings as in the type, but the outer margin is broadly black and is traversed by a series 
of roundish spots of the ground-colour ; androconia are only present on the first median 
nerviile ; the inner area of the wing is blackish between the submedian nervure and the 
inner margin, and is sprinkled with fulvous scales ; fringes white, chequered with black. 
Secondaries with black markings as in the t3-po, but the outer margin is bordered with black 
as on primaries ; the short black marks in the discoidal cell are more inwardly oblique and 
parallel with each other, and the basal area is blacker than in the type. Under surface 
similiir to that of the European var. cleodo.va, but the secondaries have a greenish tinge, and 
the fulvous on primaries is often confined to a smaller area.
