and apex readies second median, and its outermost an^'le joins liiud- 

 marginal border on first median nervule, leaving an oblique subapical 

 band of yellow, crossed by four dark nervules. HiTid-iuing : spotless; 

 inner margin broadly black-bordcrod throughout ; a moderately wide 

 hiud-marginal border, broader towards anal angle, i*adiating slightly on 

 nervules, and emitting a long black ray between first median nervule 

 and submedian nervure, where it is also marked with two yellow dots 

 close to hind-margin; sometimes two other similar dots more towards 

 middle point of hind-margin. Under side. — All of a deeper i/ellow, 

 with only very narrow hlacJcish edgings, excepting on inner margin of 

 Jmid-ioing, wliere, however, the border is narrower, shorter {only reaching 

 anal angle hy a thin streak), and enclosing interiorly a yellow stripe; 

 neuratiou in both wings finely black beyond middle. Fore-wing : spots 

 forming fascia only represented ; spot near base and beyond middle 

 only indicated by some fuscous scales. Cilia blackish above and below, 

 with a few whitish hairs at anal angle of hind-wing. 



Head : above black, with a frontal ochre-yellow spot between palpi 

 and a white spot behind it ; also a white spot before and an ochre- 

 yellow spot behind base of each antenna, and a white spot on vertex ; 

 2Mlpi above black with a whitish-yellow spot at end of middle joint, 

 beneath ochre-yellow, — terminal joint entirely black; antennae black. 

 Thorax above black ; collar with three ochre-yellow spots, pterygodes 

 with one, and a yellowish-white tip ; two ochre-yellow spots on each 

 side (? also some on back) ; and two tufts of pale yellowish hair in the 

 black posterior pubescence ; beneath black, the middle broadly ochre- 

 yellow in front and narrowly yellowish with two lateral whitish tufts 

 posteriorly ; an ochre-yellow spot on each side in front ; legs black, — 

 the middle and hind femora ochre-yelloAV in front, and the hind ones 

 bearing a long ochre-yellow tuft. 



Abdomen above black, with a terminal ochre-yellow tutt, and with 

 four broad conspicuous ochre-yellow transverse lateral stripes which 

 narrow to points dorsally without meeting ; beneath paler ochre-yellow 

 w^ith a black stripe on each side. 



^ Much didler ; the ground-colour tinged throughout ivith brownish, 

 and the dark markings (especially the borders) diminislied and not so 

 black. Fore-ioing : costal border narrowly fuscous to beyond middle, 

 not touching first subcostal spot ; this spot more distinctly separate 

 than in $ from the spot obliquely below and beyond it ; hind-marginal 

 border much reduced and narrowed, especially inferiorly, but radiating 

 on nervules throughout ; inner-marginal border almost linear beyond 

 middle. Hind-wing : hind-marginal and inner-marginal borders greatly 

 reduced, especially in anal angular area ; the ochre-yellow dots in the 

 former increased in number and size to a series of from five to seven 

 rather ill-defined spots. Under side. — As in $, but duller and rather 

 darker. 



Thorax with three pairs — anterior, mesial, and posterior — of ochre-
