Fore wings sinuate, with small white spots upon the positions of the 

 obsolete indentations. Hind wings, dentate, deeply so, in some speci- 

 mens; indentations, white, sometimes deep yellow, more particularly at 

 the outer and anal angles ; a fulvous-yellow lune at the anal angle ; all 

 the white parts are more or less sprinkled with fine black atoms j ex- 

 panse 4 — 4j inches. 



Under surface very similar to the upper, but the white area is much 

 enlarged, and the small indentations of the posterior wings expand into 

 a marginal row of large yellow lunules, edged on the margin with a 

 narrow white line. 



Body blackish, with the head, palpi, breast and thorax spotted with 

 white, abdomen striped with whitish lateral rays.

The Javanese % is larger, and the sub-marginal lunules, are thrown 

 back much further from the outer margin than in the Philippine spe- 

 cimens. On the under surface, the chief difference is the conversion 

 of the white lunules of the posterior wings into orange yellow, whilst 

 those on the margin are very much larger ; the hind wings are also 

 very strongly dentate.

Differs from the normal type in having the longitudinal rays a little 

 shorter, and the lunules on the under surface of the secondaries, to- 

 gether with the anal spots, and the indentations, white.
