«nbmargin;il bar C— SC- somewhat curved, bars HC — R- straight, bars W — M' 

 mncli more tlistal, tlie sedes being broken at R- as in etesipe, slightly curved distad, 

 bars M' — M- fused with the postdiscal bar and the marginal line to a large jiatch 

 with which is also fused the large patch formed by the postdiscal and submedian 

 bars M- — SM- ; submarginal interspaces within this black ])atch represented by 

 -small bluish white dots, submarginal interspaces C — R^ drab, divided at folds, 

 followed by two more whitish oues, also divided ; marginal line black, not 

 interrupted ; admarginal interspaces C — 11= rather large, rufous red, intersjiace 

 R- — K^ narrower, constricted or interrupted, the nest still narrower, often obsolete, 

 represented generally by a rufous red and an olive buif dot, no admarginal 

 interspace M' — M-, while interspace M^ — SM- is represented by a large pale yellow 

 spot ; subbasal to discal interspaces in posterior half of wing pale butt', becduiiiig 

 almost white towards base. 



?. Body above ochraceous, thorax slightly olivaceous, liead and paljji and 

 jironotum black, spots as in S, anterior tarsus pale ochraceous. 



Wings abore with a large orange area, which becomes slightly reddish in 



■cell of forewing, this area larger than in cJ. Forewing : ajiex blunt, outer 



margin faintly concave in middle, internal angle rounded ; cell all reddish orange, 

 with the dots of the underside all marked, but partly only vestigial ; broad bar D 

 also mostly isolated, the orange colour penetrating outside bar D to SC^'^ ; heavy 

 median bars SC — R- at least vestigial, median bar R- — W represented by a black 

 dot, which is absent from underside, median bar R-' — M' a conspicuous dot, a little 

 more distal than in J ; submedian and median dots M' — M- vestigial ; the black 

 outer area about 10 mm. at SM-, narrowing costad, of nearly equal width from 

 SC" or R' to R-* : cellules R' to costal margin black, except postdiscal spot SG' — R' 

 (which has sometimes a distinct spot in front) ; the discal bars are sometimes 

 clearly marked, angle-shaped or luniform, black or rufous red, separating a series 

 of spots from the orange area, of which spots M' — SM^ are generally small ; veins 



black near outer area. Hindwing : outline nearly as in t?, anteriorly less 



rounded, the wing produced into a lai)j)et from M^ to (SM'), this lajipot divided by 

 an incision at fold M' — BI- into a smaller and slightly longer, rounded, anterior, 

 and a broader, obliquely rounded, posterior portion ; orange or pale orange area 

 wider than in S, extending 3 to 5 mm. beyond apex of cell, its outer edge irregular; 

 bar D and median bar R- — R^ often marked, also sometimes median bars SU- — R-, 

 while the other bars in the basal half generally shine through from the underside ; 

 outer half of wing not so deep black as in S, with three series of markings : a 

 series of small postdiscal spots, reddish orange, the posterior ones paler, the upper 

 oues often obsolete, a series of submarginal dots, the series broken at R- and again 

 at M', the upper portion often obsolete, orange, the second jjortion of 4 dots rather 

 heavy, orange, the last of the 4 whitish, and the third portion (still more distal) 

 white ; an admarginal series consisting of spots C — R^ which are complete, spot 

 R' — R^ large, orange, and of spots R' — SM- which are yellow, spot R^ — M' inter- 

 rupted, sjwt M- — SM' also interrupted, the ujiper j)ortion generally absent, or at 

 least miiuite, the second portion a rounded or ovate patch, spots M- — SM'-' often 

 fused to a narrow line. 



Underside appearing somewluit ]ialer than in i, the l)ars lieing on the wjiole 

 not so heavy, and consequently the jiale intersj)aces larger. 



Length of forewing : cJ, 34 — 38 mm. 

 „ „ ¥, 41 — 46 mm.
