^ White, with hright-rcd, slightly rosy-glossed apical patch, without 

 (or with extremely thin and faint) internal hlacJcish edging ; no longi- 

 tudincd hlaekish hand in cither wing. Fore-unng : terminal disco-cellular 

 spot very small and narrow ; lower portion of base narrowly blackish ; 

 apical patch very similar in colour and form to that of Achinc $, but 

 with the outer black border narrower and radiating more thinly on 

 the nervules, so that the inter-nervular rays of red are blunter ter- 

 minally ; costal black- edging as in Achine. Hind-iving : a narrow 

 blackish suffusion at base, more extended between median and sub- 

 median nervures ; nervular hind-marginal black spots small or very 

 small, more or less linear and acuminate inwardly, but wider outwardly 

 (rarely so wide that they almost touch). Under side. — Fore-wing : 

 terminal disco-cellular spot rather larger than on upper side ; apical 

 patch creamy-yellowish, more or less freckled with reddish-brown atoms 

 and striolse, — along its inner j^ortion a pale-orange suffusion almost de- 

 void of freckling. Ilind-iving : varying from creamy-white to creamy- 

 pinkish, always more or less freckled and striolated Avith brownish or 

 reddish-brown, — these markings being densest along costa near base, 

 and in, below, and beyond discoidal cell ; a small but distinct ter- 

 minal disco-cellular black dot, faintly edged or bordered with yellow 

 inwardly. 



$ Pattern of Achine $, hut much less heavily mcwJccd with hlack, 

 especially in hind-iving ; apical patch of fore- wing with the coloured 

 portion varying from reddish-orange to pale-yellow, and with the tra- 

 versing black macular ray near its inner portion usually of moderate 

 width, but in some specimens broadened so as to form a border with no
