its course. Underside with the marginal band ill-defined. Expanse, S ? 1$, to

tranverse bands narrow, but more irregular than in Horsfieldii or Periander ; the 
outer marginal band on forewing broader and regularly sinuous on its inner edge; 
the outer marginal band on hindwing also broader, and its inner series of black spots 
much larger and cordate in shape. Expanse, $ 9 l x - 0 to 2 inches. Habitat.

Imago. —Male. Wings short, broad. Forewing triangular ; costa much arched 
from near the base, apex obtuse; exterior margin oblique, slightly uneven, obtusely 
angulated outward at end of upper radial, slightly concave below the angle and again 
obtusely angulated at end of lower median, posterior angle rounded; posterior 
margin nearly straight; costal vein extending to middle of margin; first and second 
subcostal branches emitted close together a little before end of the cell, third branch 
at fully one-third beyond the cell and extending to apex, fourth and fifth at two- 
thirds beyond ; cell area short, broad, open; upper discocellular very short and out¬ 
wardly oblique, second discocellular deeply concave; two upper median branches 
emitted beyond the opposite discocellulars; submedian vein straight. Kindiving 
* The type of Hiibner’s genus Precis is Octavia , Cramer, an African species, in which the cell of the 
torewing is closed.
