 cell and beyond it ; an uninterrupted curved black marginal border crossed 

 between the veins by elongate pale streaks ; fringe sulphur-colour, mottled with 

 black ; the inner margin blackish. 



Underside like up]ier, but all the pale markings more developed, and in

 markings: in the hindwing all the veins are broadly sulphur-colour; the curved 

 bands are less interrupted along the cell ; while the marginal band is broken 

 up into a series of horseshoe-shaped blotches with a pale vein ending in each.

Forewing : black, olive-grey at extreme base ; an elongate white streak in 

 base of cell attached at its end to a spot between the origin of veins 2 and 3 ;

 a faintly paler streak above submediau vein from near base. 



JJindwing : white, with black marginal border, its inner edge shouldered 

 before apex. 



Underside the same, but in forewing the streak along snbmediau vein is

 the black round tiie white spots and before the yellow one is deeper, and in
