these short lines with dislocated, short coutinuations on the costa from 

 which they are separated by an unmarked interspace ; the inner of the 

 (lissocellular pair of lines sometimes continued to vein 1 as a straight 

 line, sometimes converging towards the postdiscal line at the end or, very 

 occasionally, actually meeting it on vein 1 ; often, also, not in continuation 

 with the inner discocellular line but dislocated to half way between the 

 two discocellulars. Below vein 1 the ground-colour is pure white. Hind 

 iving : a large, generally well-defined, subterminal, jet-black spot in 

 interspace 2, broadly crowned and laterally surrounded by orange and 

 touched with metallic blue-green scales inside the edges ; a black dot 

 similarly placed on each side of vein 1, the one in interspace 1 crowned by 

 orange aud speckled with blue-green scales ; the following markings, 

 beginning from the outer margin : — cilia light greyish-brown, the bases 

 pure-white, the middles dusky ; the anteciliary, brown band or line and 

 two subterminal white lines as on the fore wing but the inner of these lines 

 very much more irregular, more lunulate and the space between it and 

 the outer dark-brown in interspaces 3-5, the line itself ending at vein 6, 

 the last section in interspace o dislocated inwards and the anal portions 

 interrupted by the spots in interspaces 1 a, 1 and 2 ; an inner, subtermi- 

 nal line starting from the margin at the extremity of vein 7, broken and 

 moved outwards at vein 6, running thence, parallel to the outer sub- 

 marginal line, interrupted by orange crowning of the anal spots and 

 coalescing with the next interior line before the anal margin ; this 

 interior line (call it the outer postmedial) is more or less straight from 

 vein 7 on the costa to vein 4, then often more irregular, running as a white 

 border along the tops of the orange crowns of the anal spots and turning 

 up in interspace 1 (from the middle of it in a curve) to strike the hinder 

 margin in interspace I b at an acute angle ; an inner, postmedial line from 

 vein 7 straight to vein 4, slightly converging towards the outer postmedial, 

 then dislocated inwards (sometimes as much as to form a prolongation of 

 the outer discocellular line) and continued down to mix up with the lines 

 beyond and turning up also to the inner margin ; a medial, short line out- 

 side the discocellular (the outer one of the discocellular pair) ; an ante- 

 medial line from vein 7 continued by the inner, discocellular line more or 

 less regularly and straight, then often dislocated outwards at vein 3 (or at 

 the median vein which forms the bottom of the cell) and continued in the 

 shape of a ' 3 ' turned the wrong way into interspace 1 where it describes a 

 bend out and back again to run up, parallel to the lines already 

 described, to the inner margin ; in interspace 1 b there is a line parallel to 

 it quite separate from anything else ; there are two subbasel lines, more or 

 less regular, straight and parallel from vein 7 to vein 1 and at their ends 

 separated from them by interspace 1 b, there are two short lines in inter- 

 space 1 a which may converge on to the anal margin or be nearly parallel 

 to each other, &c.; and, finally, a basal, white line which is often difficult to 

 see. The net result of these lines is a pattern of short bands or pairs of 

 lines, the outer 3 converging towards the anal angle and turning up toward 

 the anal margin. A thread like tail of slightly over 3 mm. at the extremity 

 of vein 2 black, tipped white. Antennse brownish black, banded thinly 

 white, these bands interrupted narrowly above and below ; the club plain 

 brownish-black ; palpi black above : white below with the extreme base 

 black and the tip of the second joint black and white. Head with the 

 frons black with a central, white line ; the eyes rimmed with white, hairy ; 

 vertex with a dusky-black tuft. Thorax blackish covered with blue-white 

 scales and hairs ; abdomen ditto, blue-scaled at base, yellowish at extre- 

 mity ; below : head, thorax and abdomen pure white. Female. — (PI. G.,
