blackish central, clifFusecl, usually very limited ; ncrvular hiuJ-iiiarginal 

 black spots (narrowed and acuminate inwardly) usually small (some- 

 times very small) and separate, but in the darker specimens larger, 

 rather diffused, and the upper three touching each other ; rarely a faint 

 diffused trace of lower part of discal blackish ray between radial nervule 

 and submediau nervni-e. Under side. — Fore-iving : white, occasionally 

 with a faint sulphur-yellow tinge at base ; a black disco-cellular ter- 

 minal dot ; apical patch varying from yellowish to reddish-creamy, 

 more or less irrorated finely with dark-grey ; its inner border rather 

 narrowly dull pale -orange, marked out from the broad outer por- 

 tion of patch by an ill-defined (sometimes scarcely traceable) greyish 

 submacular ray. Hind-ivlng : whitish, sandy-whitish, yellowish, or 

 reddish-creamy, more or less irrorated (and occasionally in parts also 

 slightly striolated) unequally with dark-grey ; discal ray very feebly 

 expressed by a dusky mark on costa beyond middle, and another on 

 disc between third and second (or sometimes as far as first) median 

 nervules ; costa from base to beyond middle edged with orange or pale 

 orange, sometimes rather faint ; a terminal disco-cellular black dot, 

 bounded internally by a small (sometimes very small and faint) orange 

 mark. 



$ iriiite or yclloiuish-iuliitc (rarel!/ 2^a^c-ijdIou^; apical X'atch tvith 

 the orange jJalcr and narrower than in $ ; traversed superiorly {near its 

 inner edge) and hounded inferiorly hy a Uach curved ray of variahh 

 development, and bordered more broadly by black outivardly, or ivith the 

 orange replaced by a much-reduced (sometimes almost obsolete) scries of 

 dull-yelloivish or dull-creamy separate marJcs. Fore-iving : inner-mar- 

 ginal blackish stripe more or less mixed with grey except at extremity, 

 diffuse superiorly, in the most strongly-marked examples very slightly 

 encroaching on discoidal cell near base, sometimes very narrow and 

 faintly marked, rarely obsolete from a little before middle ; a well- 

 marked usually conspicuous, rounded, terminal disco-cellular black spot. 

 Hind-wing : costal stripe as variable in darkness and development as 

 inner-marginal stripe of fore-wing (in one example obsolete) ; discal 

 ray also variable, but its lower portion usually well-expressed and 

 sometimes rather broad ; hind-marginal black almost always larger 

 than in ^, and usually united to form a border (broader superiorly), 

 emitting strong nervular dentations, of which the middle two or three 

 sometimes meet discal ray. Under side. — Hind-n-ing and ajncal patch 

 of fore-iving cdways yellowish or reddish-tinged, duller than in $, being 

 usually more closely and evenly irrorated with dark-grey. Fore-wing : 

 basal sulphur-yellow always more developed, sometimes very wide ; 

 pale- orange on inner border of apical patch traversed (and in some 

 specimens more or less obliterated) by a dusky-blackish ray ; inner- 

 marginal stripe always fainter than on upper side. Hind-unng : discal 

 ray exceedingly variable in development, sometimes barely traceable, 

 or presenting only the portions shown in ^, but often dark, and want-
