proximally ; snbmarginal white dots shaded with bine at edges, small, followed 

 by the black, abbreviated, snbmarginal bars, which are bordered distally with a 

 thin bluish white line each : admarginal transverse interspaces reddish rnfons, 

 contiguous, anal one olive buff, npjier one reduced ; tail slender, acute. 



? . Wi?igs, upperside, black brown. Forewing : a white discal band consist- 

 ing of three small spots SC'*'' — R', more or less isolated, at R^ about 4 to 5 mm. 

 from end of cell, followed by four contiguous patches, patch R^ — M' the smallest, 

 triangularly sinuate distally, patch M' — M" of the same length as the following 

 ones, measuring 5 to 5i mm. along veins, sinuate distally, inner edge of the band, 

 from R^ to internal margin, almost unbroken, crossing M'' 5 to 6 mm. from its base; 

 a series of white postdiscal spots SC^ — M' or SC^ — M^, the series forming nearly a 

 right angle, spots R' — M^ close to discal band, subluniform.— — -Hiudwing : discal 

 band of forewing continued to abdominal margin, of nearly even width (5 to 7 mm.) 

 down to (SM'), then much narrower ; white snbmarginal dots more prominent than 

 in tj, followed by the snbmarginal bars which are deeper black than the ground 

 of the wing ; admarginal interspaces tawny ferrngiuous, more or less separated at 

 veins, edged with pale bine. 



Underside similar to that of S, but the white discal band as broad as, or 

 broader than, on upperside ; postdiscal area of forewing more or less whitish ; 

 postdiscal interspaces C — SC^ and R^ — M' of hiudwing more or less white, this 

 scaling sometimes extended to outer margin ; upper tail not pointed, 6 mm. long, 

 second pointed, 6 mm. long. 



Length of forewing : <?, 28 — 30 mm. 

 „ „ ? , 30—33 mm.

 four dots on head, a line behind eye, and two dots laterally on prothorax, white ; 

 underside.^ palpi, middle of breast and legs pale clay colour, sides of breast clayish 

 brown, abdomen clay colour, upperside of anterior tiliia black, of fonr posterior 

 femora also black, speckled with white scales. 



(J. Wings above velvety black. Forewing : a postdisco-submarginal baud 



cadmium orange, broadest behind, more or less continuous from M' to internal 

 margin, partitions .SC — R' separated, often reduced to small sjjots, the upper ones 

 often absent, the spots sometimes horseshoe-shaped, the baud seldom reduced to a 

 small spot M' — M^ and a large ])atch between M- and internal margin ; black 



marginal border varying in width between M' and SM- from J to 2A mm. 



Hiudwing : outer area cadmium orange, extending down to bent of R^ sekhim to 

 base of M', the area narrowed costally ; a series of black postdisco-submarginal
