pale linear marginal spots. Wings beneath creamy white, with a broad black fascia commencing on costa 

 of anterior wings near apex of cell and continued across base of posterior wings ; anterior wings with a 

 cm-ved black fascia commencing on costa contiguous to the basal fascia and terminating near the midille 

 median uervule, a short and broad fascia of the same colour extending from thu middle median nervule to 

 about inner margin, and the outer margin broadly black, containing a series of pale spots ; posterior wings 

 with three large irregular black spots beyond middle, the first near apex, the second nearer margin and 

 bounded by the lower subcostal and middle median nervules, the third between the last-mentioned nervule 

 and the abdominal margin ; outer margin resembling that of anterior wings. Body above l)lack, beneath, 

 more or less concolorous with wings ; legs black, streaked and spotted with whitish ; palpi white, tli(;ir 

 upper surface and apex black. Antennte black, annulated with greyish.

 skirts of large forests ; but, from the great delicacy of the wings, it is not easily obtained 

 in a perfect state."*
