c?. Body above tawny (skeleton black) ; palpi, head and pronotum lilack, 

 white dots on head and line behind eye and creamy white lateral dot of j)ronotum 

 prominent, two tawny dots on prouotuui near middle, also conspicuous, patagia 

 pale in front, edged with black. Underside black and pale ochraceous ; paljii, 

 middle of jiro- and mesosternum, two smaller anterior and a larger, elongate, 

 oblique, posterior, lateral sjwts on mesosternum and abdomen, jiale ochraceous ; 

 mesosternum with three dots at hinder edge, metasternum with a jiatch behind 

 coxae and a rounded lateral jjatch, bufi" or whitish ; abdomen with a black line at

 tarsus white, the other legs more or less scaled ochraceous, but femora black above, 

 with some white scales. 



Wings, upperside, black, with a large basi-discal orange red (Chinese orange) 



area which forms a large triangle jjointing towards apex of forewing. On 



forewing the area occupies base of cell, extends to SC or R', its costal edge from 

 SC* — R^ has about the same direction as M, but is often somewhat concave, outer 

 edge of area almost straight, oblique, incised upon and between veins, 5 mm. 

 distant from outer margin of wing at R^, 8 to 9 mm. at SM^, the veins R' — R' 

 traversing the area more or less black, patches SC'" — R^ thus more or less separated, 

 varying in width, patch SC' — R' small, sometimes absent; cell-bars partly vestigial ; 

 median and submedian bars R-'— M- represented by black spots, median bar M' — M-
