with central black band by cloucled nervules as to enclose a regular 

 series of eight elongate ground-colour spots (the first and the last two 

 much smaller than the rest). Under side. — lUnd-vnnfj and ainml 

 hind-margined area of fore-wing mlphur-yelloiu, ivilh ferruginous-red 

 stripes and nervular clouding. Fore-iving : ivarm ochreous-yelloiu icith a 

 tinge of orange; no basal grey or white or costal blackish, but costa 

 near base bordered with sulphur-yellow ; terminal disco-cellular black 

 mark much narrower than on upper side ; discal band reduced, sub- 

 raacular or even macular, near costa ferruginous-red ; hind-marginal 

 border reduced to a thin ferruginous streak, and ferruginous nervules 

 marking off a hind-marginal series of large sulphur-yellow spots, except 

 towards its lower extremity, where it is blackish with only a minute 

 external ochre-yellow spot ; upper four of spots between hind-marginal 

 border and discal band sulphur-yellow. Ilind-v)ing : central band 

 and inner side of hind-marginal border ferruginous-red, the nervules 

 clouded with the same colour, uniting them and serving to separate 

 seven hind-marginal sidphur-yellow spots, all very large and rounded 

 except a linear one at apex ; before middle, from costal nervure, a 

 narrow irregularly-dentate ferruginous-red transverse streak, bounded 

 outwardly by disco-cellular nervule, and becoming obsolete a little below 

 it ; costa rather widely edged with orange-yellow to middle ; from base 

 four longitudinal streaks of orange-yellow, viz., a very short one below 

 costal nervure, a short one to extremity of cell, a very long one between 

 median and submedian nervures (extending to end of central band), 

 and a rather short one just below submedian nervure. 



$ Like $, hut ground-colour duller cLiidpcdcr (csjKcicdbj in hind-u-ing), 

 and sometimes creamy-ichitisJi or almost white; hlack markings usually 

 not so darh ; hind-marginal fore-vjing streaks and hind-wing spots ochrcy- 

 yelloto, iisually larger {especially in hind-iviyig). Fore-wing : basal bluish- 

 grey wider and duller, rarely leaving any white beyond it ; terminal 

 disco-cellular mark broader (in some specimens superiorly radiating 

 towards base). Under side. — As in ^.

$ Smaller ; all the black markings much narrow^er ; hind-marginal 

 spots of both wings larger, and those of fore-wing much less elongate. 

 Under side. — Hind-wing and apical hind-marginal area of fore-wing 

 completely suffused with dull creamy-reddish, the usual sulphur-yellow 

 spots being obliterated and the ferruginous stripes represented by dull 

 ashy-grey. 



$ As in ^, but the under-side suffusion much paler and tinged 

 with pale-greyish.
