UR0WN HAIRSTREAK. 97
lighter mark, but sometimes it is entirely wanting. The outside
margin is elegantly bordered with white. The hind Avings have
a round orange dot at their lower inside corner, and another at
the base of the tail.
Underneath, the ground colour is fine orange yelloAV, the
edge with a brighter border; the dark oblong mark shews
through, and outside it is a long narroAv wedge-shaped mark,
its base arising at the front edge and running two thirds across
the wing. It is edged all round with a very slender dusky
line, and this again on the outside by a narrow white one.
The hind wings are of a still richer brown colour, especially
at the lower inside corner: a darker orange wedge-shaped
bar, edged with a narroAv dusky line, and this by another
narrow white one, runs almost entirely across them, its wide
end beginning at the middle of the front upper edge. The
tail is bordered with a black edge, which proceeds to the
inner corner.
The female is of the same glossy broAvn colour, and has a
large orange broAvn patch between the middle and the outside
corner, and running nearly across them, gradually narrowing;
at the upper inner corner of the patch is a dark oblong mark,
as in the male. The hind wings have the like orange dot, and
the mark on the tail, but rather more extensive. Underneath,
she resembles the male.
The caterpillar is light green, with paler oblique lines on
the sides, and straight ones doAvn the back.
The chrysalis is brown, with darker marks.
