(?. Forewing : a narrow band, extending from inner margin to M' or beyond, 

 situate halfway between cell and distal margin at W and M' or nearer the cell ; the 



band represented on u/idersi(/e by two or three clearly marked spots. Hindwing : 



four or five red spots, spots R- — M- close to cell as a rale, spot R' — R- less distant 

 from cell than in the other forms, especially on underside, the band therefore 

 appearing more curved ; spots R- — M- pinkish white beneath with red distal border, 

 sometimes partly bnffish white on upperside. 



?. Three white or bnffish discal patches on forewing and a rather large ccll- 



jjatch. Hindwing : six large patches around cell (sometimes huffish) and apical

cJ. Forewing : usually with a baud from hinder margin beyond R^, gradually 



disappearing, vestigial on underside. Hindwing : four or five red spots, separate 



from cell, ujiper one or two small, spots R^ — M- elongate, longer on upper than 

 underside ; tooth R' prominent. 



? . Forewing : a white band along hinder side of cell consisting of two large 

 patches R^ — M^, a smaller patch R- — R', and a fourth (much variable in size) 

 behind M", the white scaling sometimes nearly reaching inner margin of wing ; cell 



with or without white streak. Ilindwiug : si.\ red spots, R- — M- touching cell, 



at least on upperside.
