posterior wings ; beyond this band are three white dots towards 

 the apex of the anterior wings, and one or two indistinct ones 

 towards their anal angle, and on the posterior a series of seven 

 whitish dots : anal angle rufous. The whole dise and inner mar- 

 gin of the anterior wings, and the whole of the posterior, except 

 the pure white part of the transverse band and the white dots, 

 are in certain lights of the most splendid metallic light blue. Be- 

 low silvery white with pearly reflections, a faint indication of the 

 band above ; the costa of the anterior wings except at the base, 

 the outer margins of all the wings, a transverse band beyond the 

 middle much widened towards the anal angle of the anterior 

 wings, rufous. This band is marked at its widest part by a round 

 black spot, and bordered there externally with two sublunulate 

 black spots and a sagittate one. In addition to this are two small 

 black spots in the discoidal cell followed by two short black per- 

 pendicular lines, below this is a black spot and two black lunules, 

 and on the posterior wings a black dot near the anal angle, pre- 

 ceded in the band by a similar one. 



Head fuscous ; the orbits of the eyes, the palpi below, and four 

 spots on the vertex white. Antennae fuscous. 



Thorax and abdomen fuscous above, paler below ; legs silvery 

 white.

All the wings bright orange-red above, the anterior with a 

 large spot on the disco-cellular nervure, followed by two small 

 ill-defined ones on the lower discoidal nervule -, the outer margin 

 broadly fuscous bla<;k, with faint indications of four or five red- 

 dish lunules ; this black border dilated towards the apex, much 

 dentate internally, preceded by a broad zigzag striga, commencing 

 near the anterior and extending nearly to the inner margin; 

 the median nervules each with a round fuscous spot before their 

 middle. Posterior wings clothed at the base with long hairs ; a 

 discoidal spot, two lunulate bands, and the outer margin slightly 

 fuscous. 



Below paler, all the wings marked at the base with some in- 

 distinct fuscescent spots, beyond which is an undulating striga
