and the hind marginal area, is the same color as the disdoidal spot, 

 blackish. 



Upper side of hind wing is the same, except that the spots suffuse, 

 nearly forming a band. The orange band of fore wing is continued, but 

 narrower, extending from upper angle to anal angle parallel to hind mar- 

 gin. The inner margin is of the ground color. 



The wings have a slight fringe of the ground color. 



The markings of the under side of both wings are similar to those of the 



upper surface, although slightly lighter.

 black ; beneath, orange. Legs black. 



Upper side of fore wing orange, black and yellow. Costa black. The 

 basal area within a line drawn from near centre of costa diagonally across 

 the discoidal space to a point one-quarter of an inch within the margin, 

 thence downwards parallel to hind margin to inner margin is orange. 

 The apical and hind marginal areas, outside this line, are black. In the 

 centre of the black apical area, running from costa diagonally across it 

 nearly to hind margin is a yellow band. Below the end of this, in the 

 margin area, is a yellow spot, with a suggestion of a smaller one below 

 it. Inner margin orange. 



The upper side of hind wing is of the same orange. Costa orange. 

 From the base a black dash extends upwards a quarter inch along costa.

 fuller development of the markings. The yellow band of fore wing ex- 

 tends or curves downwards to near inner margin, forming almost a semi-

 of marginal area of hind wing are much more prominent, and a white dot 

 appears on the margin at the end of each nervule.
