TERACOLVS. 10:; 



what broad transverse line of black enclosing the orange apical patch, and slightly 

 broken by orange near the costa, the disco-cellular spot neai"ly obsolete ; the basal 

 area thickly dusted with grey. Secondaries entirely creamy-white ; the black ner- 

 vular spots on the hind-margin nearly obsolete ; the basal area dusted with grey. 



Underside.— Genir&l area of the primaries white, the apical area tinged with a pink 

 shading corresponding to the orange patch on the upperside ; the base, costa, and apical 

 area thickl}' dusted with grey ; a minute black spot visible at the end of the cell. 

 Secondaries deep creamy-white, and entirely covered with pepper-coloured specklings. 



Expanse 1"5 inches. [Spec, ex Betsileo, Madagascar ; Rev. Deatis Coivan ; Mm. 

 Brit). 



Female. — Central area whitish ; apex and hind-margin brownish-black as far as 

 the first median nervule ; a very distinct post-median band of bright orange consist- 

 ing of five somewhat pointed spots towards the hind-margin ; the inner side of the 

 orange irregularly outlined with brownish-black, followed by a sulphur-yellow 

 sufi'usion, the usual black spot visible at the end of the cell ; the basal area dusted 

 with grey. Secondaries, ground colour whitish, with dusky spots at the end of the 

 nervules on the hind-margin, more or less obsolete ; the base of the wing slightly 

 dusted with grey, the discal band on the underside faintly indicated ; the cilia of both 

 wings reddish-buft'. 



Underiiide. — Central area of the primaries white, the apical area yellowish-buff, 

 thickly sprinkled with grey, extending along the costal margin to the basal area ; a 

 sulphur-yellow suffusion on the costa and on the inner edge of the apical area ; minute 

 black nervular spots visible on the hind-margin. Secondaries, ground-colour pale 

 buff, thickly sprinkled with greyish-brown, a discal band of greyish-brown visible 

 from the costal margin to the second radial nervule, but absent from the third median 

 nervule to as far as the sub-median nervure ; minute black nervular spots visible on 

 the hind-margin ; a reddish spot at tiie end of the cell. 



Expanse 1"4 inches. (Spec, ex Port Baupldn, South Madac/ascar ; G. F. Scott- 

 Elliot; .Mns.Brif.) 



A second form of the female has the orange band on the primaries less pro- 

 nounced on account of a brownish suffusion ; the sulphur-yellow line only faintly 

 indicated ; the nervular spots on the secondaries slightly larger. 



Underside. — The general aspect of both wings jjaler in colour, but otherwise 

 similar to the female above described (fig. le). 



Expanse 1 '6 inches. (Spec, ex Madagascar ; Godman-Salviii Coll. ; Mus. Brit.) 



A third form of the female has the whole of the apical area of the primaries 

 brownish-black, relieved by three minute streaks of orange, the sulphur-yellow shading 

 being almost obsolete. Secondaries with the nervular spots on the hind-margin smalk
