 ^ White, with very large dull picrplish-lake, violet-glossed, Uach- 

 hordered apiccd pateh, intersected hy a black streak. Fore-wing: base 

 and costal margin before middle narrowly and sparsely powdered with 

 blackish ; a very faint indication of the terminal disco-cellular black 

 dot of the under side ; costa with a linear black edging as far as begin- 

 ning of apical patch ; nervulcs crossing apical piatch heavily clouded with 

 Hack, especially externcUly, dividing the purple into seven {rarely eight) 

 uneqtial raigs, the hind-marginal tips of six of tvhich (between apex and 

 first median nervule) are acuminate and conspicuously p)ale S7ilphur- 

 yclloio; costal and hind-marginal black borders of apical patch very 

 narrow, but the latter suddenly broadening at (or rarely below) first 

 median nervule, where it unites with the narrow rather irregular and 

 (internally) diffused inner black border of patch, and whence the united 

 borders continue to posterior angle; black streak traversing patch 

 nearer inner than outer edge, running a little obliquely outward from 

 costa as far as third median nervule, but thence deflected inwardly and 

 joining inner black border on second median nervule. Ilind-wing : a 

 hind-marginal black border of moderate width, emitting inwardly ner- 

 vular dentations, gradually narrowing from apex to anal angle, and 

 enclosing near its outer edge a series of five (rarely six) small sub- 

 rhomboidal inter-nervular white spots, lessening in size as the border 

 narrows; base very sparsely and narrowly powdered with blackish, 

 which extends a little along both sides of median and submedian ner- 

 vures; before and beyond middle respectively, the two dark oblique 

 sub-transverse streaks of the under side are faintly visible. Under side. 

 — Eind-wing and outer apiccd hind-marginal area of fore-wing varying 

 from cream-colour to pale sulphur-yellow ; ncuration across apical patch
