and fulvous, on the lower white. On the upper wing between 

 the commencement of the band and the anterior margin and at 

 nearly right angles with it is a large oblong fulvous spot sepa- 

 rated from it only by a black nervule, but so deeply sinuated on 

 each side at its junction as to touch it only at the apex; parallel 

 to the posterior margin is a double line of light brown, the 

 inner line wanting on the space between the second and third 

 median nervules ; on the lower wing are three similar lines, and 

 between the end of the inner one and the anal angle a small 

 triangular fulvous spot sinuated on its lower margin. 



On the upper wing between the central band and the body, 

 and at right angles with the anterior margin, are six black lines, 

 five within the cell, the first and second on each side of the disco- 

 cellular and nearly straight, the third so much arched as to form 

 a triangle with the second, the three inner ones curved and equi- 

 distant and prolonged beyond the cell. 



Underside very light; the central band, the discoidal spot, 

 and the submarginal lines are all cream-coloured ; the inner line 

 on the lower wing is beautifully iridescent. On the upper wing 

 between the cell and the discoidal spot is a small irregular spot 

 of a clear bluish white : with the exception of the upper part of 

 the space between the fourth and fifth black line which is red, 

 the space within the cell is pure white \ the lines are deep black ; 

 there are also spots of white below the cell. On the lower wing 

 the inner margin of the white band is dark brown, and parallel 

 to it and between it and the humeral angle are two rufous bands, 

 the space between the first and the white band rufous, the rest 

 cream-colour. Expansion 2 inches 8 lines.

Wings dark brown with a central band reaching from the an- 

 terior margin of the upper wing to the anal angle of the lower, 

 intersected by black nervules on the upper and anterior portion 

 of the lower wings ; on the upper wing fulvous, broadest between 

 the discoidal nervules ; the inner margin deeply sinuated at the 

 third median nervule ; on the lower wing white. On the upper 

 wing are two very indistinct marginal lines of light brown ; on 

 the lower wing four, one close to the margin, three equidistant 

 between it and the white band ; the red spot at the anal angle 

 is small with a central round spot of deep black. On the upper 

 wing across the disc are five indistinct black lines, four within 

 the cell straight and nearly parallel, the fifth and inside one ob- 

 lique. Underside vinous brown, the central band on both wings 

 white ; the widest portion of it on the disc of the upper wing 

 clouded with brown ; at the tip are four or five small white spots,
