 in the two basal lines being nearer together and disposed obliquely outward, as well as being 

 more irregular ; the ])urple-brown strigic more broadly dispersed, the marginal elongated 

 spots longer: hind wing with brown strigpc clustered at the base, ccU-streak much shorter; 

 the black medial discal streak and the succeeding points very prominent, that on the lower 

 median and internal vein forming a band to the margin ; the longitudinal red subanal streak 

 witli black centre ; marginal streaks also broader. On tlic underside the fore wing is thickly 

 speckled along the costal border, and there is no lower basal and discal black spot. On the 

 hind wing, in addition to the three anterior spots, there is a small black discal spot midway 

 between the cell and outer margin ; a lengthened subanal longitudinal spot and two super- 

 posed anal spots. All the legs are dark brown ; the thoracic and abdominal crests are bell-
