 $ Brmvnish-black, with a pah sniphur-yelloto transverse stripe 

 (macular in fore-iuing) ; hiiul-iving only ivith a siibmavfjinal scries of 

 sjwts of the same colonr, and ivith a rather hroad, slvjUly spat\date, itv- 

 spotted black tail. Fore-wing : costa narrowly and finely irrorated with 

 sulphur-yellow as far as extremity of discoidal cell, where the irrora- 

 tions become so dense as to form a more or less distinct longitudinal 

 streak ; this streak, with a more conspicuous one immediately below 

 it, forming the beginning of the macular transverse stripe of eight spots, 

 gradually increasing in width to its termination a little beyond inner 

 margin ; this band is rather abruptly angulated on upper radial ner- 

 vule, where its second spot closely approximates, or (usually) is con- 

 fluent with the last of a short series of three smaller spots of the same 

 colour (in line with the six other spots of discal stripe) from costa 

 not far before apex ; in cell, at lower edge of extremity, sometimes a 

 small, ill-defined sulphur-yellow spot ; on hind-marginal edge, below 

 apical projection, a series of six iuter-nervular lunular marks, gradu- 

 ally increasing in size downward. Hind-idiuj : transverse stripe before 

 middle continuous (nearly straight along its inner edge, but out- 

 wardly irregular, and sharply denticulated with black on the crossing 

 nervures), and extending to submedian nervure, along which it runs 

 a narrow termination to beyond middle; adjoining middle part of 

 stripe, but separated from it by a black bar at extremity of discoidal 

 cell, a curved row of three pale sulphur-yellow spots, of which the 

 uppermost is largest ; a small sub-lunular orange spot a little before 

 anal angle, sometimes touching extremity of transverse stripe ; sub- 

 marginal spots arranged in six inter-nervular pairs, the upper spot 

 in each pair the larger, and the spots of the fourth (and usually also 

 of the fifth) pair confluent; a series of thin, sulphur-yellow, inter- 

 nervular, lunulate marks along hind-marghial edge. Under side. — 

 Gcncrcd pattern like that of upper side ; hind-wing and apical area of 

 fore-wing choeolate-lroion, clouded with pale ochreous-hroivu {which latter 

 has in |?ar/s a faint violaceous lustre). Fore-wing : upper spots of 

 discal stripe and those of row from near apex represented by ill-defined 

 yellowish-white marks ; cellular spot larger and more distinct, and 

 succeeded by a very small spot immediately beyond cell ; other spots 

 of discal stripe as on upper side, but much more acuminate externally. 

 Hind-wing : basal area unclouded by paler brown, but discal hind- 

 marginal area with two wide clouds, one apical, the other on median 

 nervules ; transverse stripe almost white, much narrower thau above, and 

 about its middle greatly attenuated; the adjacent spots, just beyond 

 cell, smaller, almost white ; submarginal series of spots obsolete, or
