I)aler ; head with four creamy dots above ; e3'es thinly bordered with creamy scales 

 behind ; clnl) of antenna rnfons brown beneath, apical segments of same colonr 

 also above. 



Wings, upperside. Forewinc- black, olivaceous towai-ds base; a discal and 



submarcrinal series of creamy white spots ; discal spot R-— H" close to cell, minute, 

 often absent; spot R' — R- often a third the size as in Fig. 17: last spot snffused, of 

 an olive-buff tint on account of the scales of the under layer being black instead of 

 white ; snbmarginal spot SC^ — SC' mostly absent, third spot also seldom marked 



Hindwing brownish black ; a discal olivaceous buff or pale glaucous band 



down to M', of nearly even width (about 2 to 3 mm. at R'), sometimes interrupted 

 at SC-, followed by a complete series of postdiscal rufous red spots, 1 small, 

 •i rounded, 3 oblong, 4 linear, o the largest and, like 6, concave distally, T and 8 

 forming a double spot resembling the number 3 ; snbmarginal creamy white dots 

 from to SM-, upper two more or less rounded, the others luniform, dots M' — Sil- 

 very thin ; admarginal intersjmces occupied by reddisli rufous bars which are 

 separated from each other at the veins, bars R' — M' with pale glancou.s scaling near 



Fic. 17.

veins; fringe white, excejit at tips of veins; abdominal fold uuicolurous. faintly 

 paler than wing ; upper tail barely 3 mm. long, second tail a very short tooth. 



UndiTsidi' : various shades of hazel and chestnut. Forewing : cell-bar 3 



slightly dilated at the ends, bar -t more or less arched, dilated at upper end, where 

 it is generally joined to bar D; submedian bar M' — M" short; median bars R- — SM- 

 luniform ; discal bars rather feebly marked, bar R- — R' more pro.ximal than the 

 others ; internal marginal area blackish, this colour often extended over a greater 

 part of the wing ; interspace between the two cell-bars partly whitish or clayish vina- 

 ceous cinnamon ; discal and postdiscal white spots as above, but larger, the anterior 

 ones generally shaded with brown, hence appearing nearly vinaceous cinnamon, not 



white. Hindwing : submedian line of bars crossing M at origin of M", slightly 



bordered white proximally ; median line of bars just beyond base of M' convex, costal 

 bar more basal than the others, bars (SM')— SM' not at right angles to SM-, but 

 pointing more distad than in pyrrhm : bar D' mai'ked ; interspace between sub- 

 median and median lines more reddish than abdomiinil region of wing ; discal white 

 baud gradually narrowing from C, where it is 4 mm. wide, to abdominal margin, 

 the white scaling often replaced by blackish chestnut from (y' toR- and by pale brown 

 behind (Fig. 1 7a); postdiscal rufous red spots nearly as above, 2 and 3 orange, 4 linear.
