ILEEDA.— APHN^US. 409 
defined area at the base from the inner margin to the subcostal nervure, 
leaving the outer third of the wing and the costal area black. In the hind 
wing the rich vermilion-orange lunules on the outer margin vary in number 
and size, the purple area being confined to a small patch on the disc. On 
the underside the sanguineous outer margin of both wings varies much in 
width and prominence ; in the fore wing the discal black liturae are often 
absent, as are also the discal white spots on the hind wing. The female 
varies in the size of all the orange markings on the upperside, and of course 
lacks the purple coloration of the male. On the underside it varies exactly 
as in the male."
