VAEIETY.

Expands from 2-0 to 2.25 in. Wings rather light fulvous ; 
hind margins black ; parallel to them on all the wings is a row of 
black spots ; the fore wings have a row of spots internal to these, 
running obliquely from the apex towards the centre of the wing, a 
few more scattered about the basal portion, and a row of narrow 
spots along the costal margin. Hind wings with a few spots thinly 
scattered over the area of the wing. Under side : Fore wings 
greenish at the apices, with some indistinct silvery spots ; hind 
wings yellowish green throughout the basal half, the rest being 
light yellow or straw-colour ; the silver spots are disposed very 
nearly in three rows ; along the hind margin is a row of distinct 
semilunar spots, another row across the centre, between this and 
the base another row of smaller ones, and a few more scattered 
about the base ; between the marginal and central row are some 
round dark brown spots with minute silver centres, like those seen 
in Adijype and Niohe. 
Times of Appeaeance. — June and July. 
Habitat. — Mountains in Corsica and Sardinia. 
Laeva, &c. — Unknown. PI. XLIX., 3. 
Obs. — This interesting insular form seems to be a perfectly 
good species, and quite distinct from Aglaia. It is in fact much 
more nearly allied to Adippe or Niohe than to Aglaia, as may be 
seen by the presence of the round, silver-punctured spots between 
the marginal and central rows.
