to light yellow at the distal margin; hindwing beneath only slightly darkened at the base, its marginal band much broader than above, 4.5 mm. in breadth. The female differs much from the male; the basal part of the forewing is semitransparent light yellow- brown as far as the apex of the cell and vein 3, with an elongate dark spot in the cell and often also a rounded dark spot beyond the cell in the basal part of cellules 4-6; apex and marginal band lighter than in the male; hindwing above yellow-brown to the base, with free black dots, the discal dots often all present; marginal band scarcely more than 1mm. in breadth, proximally dentate at the veins; fore wing beneath diaphanous with yellow marginal band; hindwing beneath with light yellow median band 3 mm. in breadth behind the discal spots, in the basal area and at the distal margin darker, grey-yellow; the lunate line connecting the proximal ends of the marginal streaks as distinct as in the male.

male, with rounded, light reddish-scaled spots in 1b and 2 and a streak of the same colour in 1a; hindwing above blackish with a red to red-yellow median band about 7 mm. in breadth, which is distally rounded, and a marginal band 2-3 mm. in breadth; forewing beneath with the ground-colour grey-yellow

Eltr. Forewing semitransparent with black-brown margins, traces of whitish spots in 1b and 2; hindwing above black-brown, with some red scales at the apex of the cell and the proximal side of the marginal band; inner margin yellowish; fore wing beneath yellowish at the margins; hindwing beneath

Eltr. (60 a). Wings entirely without red or brown markings; base of the forewing suffused with black-grey at least as far as vein 2. Hindwing on both surfaces dark grey in the basal area and at the distal margin, with white median band, beneath somewhat lighter than above.

Eltr. only differs from the typical female in having the forewing diaphanous almost to the base, with very faint reddish tinge, while the upperside also of the hindwing has behind the discal dots a whitish median band 3 mm. in breadth, divided by the reddish veins.
