$ Bright pale sulphur -y elloiu ; apical patch large, orange, very slightly 

 glossed with pink, occupying nearly half area of fore-wing. Fore-iving : 

 base very narrowly blackish; costa edged with black and narrowly 

 speckled with blackish ; apical patch internally sometimes with an ill- 

 defined faint blackish edging, externally with a well-marked black 

 edging, widest at apex, on nervules acutely indenting orange, and 

 narrowing to lower extremity of patch, beneath which (immediately 

 above posterior angle) it suddenly widens, forming a blackish spot. 

 Hind-wing : a hind-marginal series of small indistinct blackish nervular 

 spots, in some specimens very minute. Under side. — Hind-iving and 

 apical area of fore-wing chrortie-ycllow. Fore-wing: apical patch indi- 

 cated by a flush of deeper yellow and very faint greyish edging ; along 

 hind-margin an inter- nervular series of thin black dots. Rind-wing : 

 a terminal disco-cellular blackish dot, usually rather indistinct ; inter- 

 nervular series of dots as in fore-wino-, 



^ Sometimes paler than ^, oecasioncdly nearly ivhite ; apical p)atch 

 sometinies rather paler than in ^, traversed hy part of a discal series of 

 large well-marked Uackish spots. Fore-iving : base rather widely but 

 sparsely dusted with blackish ; a conspicuous well-defined terminal 

 disco-cellular spot, very variable in size, reniform or subovate in two 

 examples, acuminate superiorly ; outer border of orange patch browner 

 than in ^, emitting longer nervular rays ; discal ray composed of three 

 more or less united smaller spots, obliquely placed between dark costal 

 border and lower radial nervule, — two united spots (of which the upper 

 is much the larger) between third and first median nervules, and 

 two (of which the upper is subquadrate and the largest in the series) 

 a little before the two last-named spots, between first median nervule 

 and inner margin ; between these three groups of spots in the discal 

 series there is usually a thin indistinct connecting line of blackish 

 scales. Uind-unng : a broken discal macular ray of blackish spots, 

 widely and completely interrupted between second subcostal and third 

 median nervules, angulated on the latter nervule, and thence consisting 

 of two or three separate spots, and reaching either to first median ner-
