. Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History) Entomology. 43Q V. G. L. van SOMEREN is black, with five white dots. The disc of the wing has an elongate ovoid black spot at the end of the cell. In addition some of the strong black marks of underside show through faintly. The margin of the wing is bluntly dentate with a slight indication of a 'tail' at end of vein 4, but the anal angle projects roundly and has a minute white dot in the centre. Underside. Fore wing cell area olive-ochreous, slightly more greenish in upper discal area, the remainder of the discal zone is dull reddish orange, fading to ochreous on the hind margin in ia. The cell has three rounded spots at the base followed by an S mark beyond and an irregular quadrate bar at the end of the cell. The bases of ib and 2 have black marks, while the inner part of the discal area has a strong angled mark in ib and a curved mark in sub-base of 2. At the upper portion of the discal zone is a black bar made up of three rounded spots in 6â4, followed by longer marks in 3â2. In the submarginal line at the tornus are dumb-bell-like marks in ib, with black streaks along the ends of veins 1, 2, & 3; the veins and interspaces above, up to the costa, strongly lined in black. The pale ochreous bar of upperside is here represented and similarly coloured. Hind wing, ground colour orange-brick-red, paler in the disc and above the anal angle which is ochreous. Strong black spots are present: an irregular black mark at extreme base with thin black lines directed toward the anal angle and on inner edge of fold; three black spots at base of cell and a larger one at its end; two rounded black spots at sub-base of 7, and two black spots basal in 6 with rounded spots below in sub-bases of 4-3. Border of wing with black rays at end of veins and black interspaces each with a white spot; the admargin has interrupted ochreous triangles, that at anal angle with twin lilac spots. Female. This still appears to be unknown. Rang
