similar inwardly-projecting tooth on the t. a. line by a band of the same 

 colour. The basal line is bordered inwardly by a well-marked reddish 

 band, which extends beyond it to the submedian vein, thence outward 

 as an accompanying shade. T. a. line distinct, purplish-bro.wn, transverse. 

 Two inwardly-projecting teeth just above and below the median vein, 

 forming a well-marked \V, as above mentioned they show a tendency 

 to connect with the basal line, the lower part of the line forms a single 

 broad scallop to inner margin, there is an accompanying whitish shade on 

 the outer side, and at inner margin a slight indication of an accompanying 

 purplish line. T. p. line distinct, vinous, somewhat irregular in width, 

 exserted over cell in a somewhat quadrangular manner, thence to inner 

 margin in a couple of broad waves. The line is peculiar in that it does 

 not extend entirely to costa, but turns inward at quite a sharp angle and 

 follows parallel to costa and at about 5^ mm. removed from it, as a narrow 

 purplish line as far as outer edge of orbicular. The line itself, as well as 

 the prolongation, is bordered within with a lighter diffuse whitish shade. 

 At inner margin the line is accompanied on its inner side for a short 

 distance by an accompanying line. The veins through the median space 

 are very delicately and lightly tinted with purplish and also accompanied 

 by whitish shades. The median shade is diffuse, scarcely, if at all, to be 

 traced except from inner margin to lower edge of reniform. S. t. line pale 

 yellowish, scalloped, bordered within and without with purplish, on the 

 outside this purplish border projects along veins as sharp teeth to terminal 

 line. The veins in the subterminal space and especially in the centre of 

 the wing are quite heavily coated with purplish shades, which almost, if 

 not quite, join in many places, connecting the purple shades of the t. a. 

 and s. t. lines. There is a purplish terminal line composed of shallow 

 lunules, these are accompanied inwardly by a pale yellowish shade, which 

 gradually darkens as it approaches the s. t. line. Fringes pale at base, 

 purplish outwardly, cut with paler at termination of veins, in some 

 specimens there is an extremely faint median lighter line. Pale yellowish 

 spots on costa at inceptions of basal and t. a. lines, one over cell and three 

 similar dots on apex. Orbicular quite large, subquadrate, quite evenly 

 tan-coloured, bordered outwardly with pale, within which is purplish ring, 

 varying in width, in general much broader in the superior half Reniform 

 large, slightly oblique, constricted in centre, purplish and light ring the 

 same as orbicular, centre somewhat paler. In one specimen before me
