 becoming broadest on the apical area and extended along the costal margin in a 

 narrow streak, the black discoidal spot rather larger than in the male ; the basal 

 area faintly sprinkled with grey. Secondaries with the central area white, and 

 having a broad and heavily marked black border on the hind margin. 



Underside. — Primaries similar to the upper surface, the apex deep yellow, enclosed 

 by a broad post-median black band. Secondaries deep yellow, with a faint transverse

 marked.

" Intermediate" form of Male. — Primaries similar to those of the " wet-season " 

 form. Secondaries with a faint sprinkling of brownish grey on the hind-margin. 



Underside. — Primaries with the central area pale yellow, darker on the apical 

 area, with a narrow post-median band of black. Secondaries deep yellow, with a 

 well-marked triangle of dark brown lines, above which a small streak of dark brown
