along dorsum for inner third. There is a lighter subterminal shade of the same 

 color which joins the outer ends of the three streaks together. The two yellow 

 interspaces are ahout of equal width to the red streaks. As in bisiriata there are 

 vertical strigiilations of shining irridesrent scales, they are more conspicuous on 

 the red streaks, and in the inner part of wing are nearly obsolete on the yellow 

 shades. Cilia yellowish at apex, becoming pinkish at anal angle. 



Hindwing: purplish-fuscous, cilia paler; underside gray, with a purplish tinge. 



Underside forewing: ochreish-purple, narrowly ochreish along costa, and paler 

 beneath fold.
