short zigzag band, sometimes thin, occasionally overshaded with glossy vinaceons 

 scales ; discal bars rather ill-defined, slightly Inniform, standing in a continnons 

 series, which at (SM') is about lit mm. distant from edge of wing and at R' only 

 8 mm., the series running apicad from M' to R', and costad from R' to SC ; post- 

 discal interspaces tawny ochraceous at discal bars ; postdiseal bars M- — SM- 

 developed to a black patch of variable size ; glossy pinkish white snbmarginal 



spots SC — SC° conspicnous, the others vestigial. Hiudvviiig : basal costal bar 



not very distinct, anteriorly often joined to costal snbraedian bar ; no basal to 

 snbmedian bars on abdominal fold ; submedian bars continnons, forming an obliqne, 

 slightly curved line which crosses M just before M- ; median bars also continuous, 

 forming a straight, or nearly straight, line from costal margin to SM-, twice as 

 heavy costally as behind as a rule, crossing M midway between M' and M- : discal 

 bars luniform, proximally very ill-defiaed, dark cinnamon rufous, with orange or 

 yellow buif lanules or spots at outside ; postdiseal bars more or less tawny orange, 

 their outer edges well defined, incurved ; snbmarginal pinkish white dots C — SM'' 

 all present, but very small, the last two or three joined to black snbmarginal dots ; 

 upper tail 2 to 3 mm., second a mere tooth. 



?. Body above as in <?, but abdomen sepia or broccoli brown ; underside 

 paler than in cj. 



Wings, above. Forewing ; costal margin paler than in t? ; a discal band 



from R^ to internal margin, white, anteriorly mostly shaded with yellow, 25 mm. 

 broad at internal margin, patches R' — M- triangularly concave outwardly, patch 

 R3_j£i about half (or less than half) the size of patch M' — M-, discal spot 

 R- — R^ close to cell seldom conspicuous, mostly vestigial, often absent, always 

 small, discal spots SC*— R- yellowish, seldom almost white; 4 to 5 mm. long, 

 mostly slightly concave proximally, often preceded by one or two streaks : the 

 basal area np to the discal markings brownish black, but part of cell of the same 

 colour as costal margin of wing ; discal black bars represented by a curved black 

 band from SC to R', followed by two arrow-head- or angle-shaped spots, bar M- — 

 (SM') often vestigial ; upon these bars follows a series of postdiseal, orange, 

 somewhat ovate, spots, the upper four measuring about 5 mm. in length, spot 

 R3 — ]yji larger, the spots generally separate, seldom fused together, mostly some- 

 what ochreous near black discal bars ; postdisco-submarginal black band widened 

 behind and in front, very seldom separated into spots ; an admargiual orange band 

 of about 2| mm. width, consisting of halfmoons, which are sometimes separated 



from one another ; extreme edge of wing black, fringe white between veins. 



Hindwing : middle of wing from costal to abdominal margin occupied by a broad 

 white band, of which the inner edge crosses SC at base of R', shaded outwardly, 

 especially in front, with orange ; this white area bordered by a black postdisco- 

 submarginal band, which is parallel to outer margin, but is generally narrower 

 costally and abdominally than in middle, measuring between R^ and M' about 

 8 mm., distally dentate upon veins ; the baud includes two or three white 

 snbmarginal dots posteriorly, and is followed by an orange admargiual band 

 about 4 mm. in width between R' and M' ; edge of wing black ; base black. 



Underside paler than in S, vinaceous tawny up to median bars, discal 

 interspaces of fore- and hindwing and jwstdiscal ones of hindwing ochre yellow, the 



discal ones of forewing becoming creamy white towards internal margin. 



Forewing : bars as in S, but submedian and median bars M' — SM- closer 

 together, often fused, postdiseal interspaces partly ochreous ; black patch near
