General colour bright sulphm--yellow, the primaries with a large orange patch on 

 the apical area, edged with black. Female similar to the male, the black markings 

 larger and more heavily indicated. 



Male. — Primaries with the basal area bright sulphur-yellow, the apical half 

 vivid orange, forming a large and distinct patch, with a pinkisli sheen visible under 

 certain lights ; costa and hind-margin narrowly edged with black ; increasing slightly 

 in extent round the apex. 



Secondaries bright sulphur-yellow, with minute black nervular dots indicated on 

 the hind-margin. 



Underside. — Primaries rather paler yellow, the apical area tinged with light 

 orange ; a faintly marked sub-apical row of brownish spots ; some minute black dots, 

 situated between the nervules, on the hind-margin. Secondaries similar to the 

 primaries in colour, a brownish spot visible on the costal margin ; a second spot at 

 the end of the cell ; a third spot between the sub-median nervure and the first 

 median nervule ; a row of minute internervular black dots on the hind-margin. 



Expanse 1-7 inch. {Spec, ex Gidu-Gida, November 1888 ; F. J. Jackaoit.) 



Female. — Primaries with the basal half pale yellow ; the orange apical patch 

 somewhat paler and crossed by a well-defined band of black from the costal margin 

 to the inner margin, running above the sub-median nervure and between the first and 

 second median nervules, the black being broken into large and well-marked spots. 

 A large spot is situated at the end of the discoidal cell, and the brownish-black 

 border on the costa, apex and hind-margin is broader than in the male. Secondaries 

 pale sulphur-yellow with large blacki.sh nervular spots and with a black and some- 

 what broken band crossing the discal area, so as almost to enclose a sub-marginal 

 row of ovate yellow spots. A minute black dot is visible also at the end of the 

 cell.
