border extremely broad, ruther diffused and irreg'ular along its inner 

 edge, joining outer border on second and first median norvules. Hind- 

 wing : basal fuscous irroration less extended than in fore-wing ; a series 

 of largo liind-marginal nervular black spots, usually uniting to form a 

 border of moderate width, sharply dentating the white on nervules ; 

 on costa, beyond middle, a moderate-sized blackish marking, between 

 costal nervtire and first subcostal nei'vure. Under side. — Wldtc. 

 Fore-icing: base rather widely suffused with pale sulphur-yellow; 

 disco-cellular spot usually better marked and rounder than on upper 

 side ; apical orange mucli paler and less defined, but considerably 

 broader than on upper side, its borders only very faintly indicated by 

 the palest grey and the outer one tinged with sulphur-yellow ; beyond 

 middle, between first median nervule and submedian nervure, a dif- 

 fused or faint blackish spot, sometimes obsolete. Hind-vAng : costa for 

 a little distance from base tinged narrowly with yellow, — sometimes 

 edged Avitli orange yellow ; a distinct terminal disco-cellular black dot, 

 with a conspicuous (sometimes large) bright-orange spot immediately 

 preceding and touching it ; rarely on costa, and still more rarely on 

 median nervules, some exceedingly faint traces of a discal ray. Minute 

 but distinct terminal nervular black dots in both wing's. 



$ Yellowish-white or yellowish ; apical patch brownish-black, usually 

 uniform, but sometimes traversed hj a scries of three or four small dull 

 pcdc-orange or yellowish spots [almost obsolete in some specimens) a7ul more 

 rarely hy a well-developed six-partite pcdc-orange hand, mucli narrower 

 and more curved than in $. Forc-iving : basal suflfusiou closer and 

 wider than in $, and on inner margin about middle merged in an ill- 

 defined fuscous stripe, of which the extremity beyond middle is blackish 

 and truncate, and usually emits an upward projection ; disco-cellular 

 terminal dot rather larger. Hind-iving : basal suffusion very much 

 wider and closer than in ^, extending inferiorly to beyond middle, and 

 more narrowly along costa ; discal ray strongly blackish-marked at 

 costal origin, usually continuous, and also broadly and strongly marked 

 in its inferior portion ; hind-marginal blackish spots similar in size and 

 form to those of the more strongly marked $ s. Under side. — Foi'e- 

 wing sulphur-yellow, ivith broad dull p)(de-orange apical pcdeh ; hind- 

 wing varying from pale-yelloiu to deep ochrey-yellow and j^etle ochrcy- 

 reddish. Fore-unng : blackish spot indicating termination of inner- 

 marginal stripe well marked. Hind-wing : discal ray reproduced in 

 dull pale brownish-ferruginous. 



The development of the apical black is very strong in this species ; 

 and I have a $ from Cape Coast Castle in which the orange-red patch 

 is quite obliterated by black below the lower radial nervule. Drurv 

 (whose figures are exceedingly inferior to most of his illustrations) and 

 Cramer both figure a $ in which the apical patch is wholly black except 

 for a slight reddish scaling along its inner edge, but Cramer's ^ is 

 more heavily marked, and with a much deeper tinted under side. The
