 above and beneath lemon-yellow, uniformly reticulated with orange-red. Fore 

 wings each with two narrow oblique bands, the first starting from the basal fourth 

 of the costa, ends at the middle of the inner margin ; the second starting from 

 the middle of the costa, ends at the anal angle. These bands enlarge a little 

 on the internal border. Hind wings sordid yellowish. Fringes and under side
