$ Brick-red, in hind-ivinri siJottcd and bordered with hlack ; apical 

 area of fore-iving transparent, colourless, hordered v:ith blackish and 

 crossed by blacJc-elouded ncrvides. Forc-ivinrj : red area semi-transparent, 

 filling discoidal cell, and occup}'ing all space below cell to inner mar- 

 ginal edge as far as posterior angle ; a rather narrow blackish costal 

 border, becoming very much broader at apex ; hind-marginal border 

 below uj)per radial nervule not much wider tlian costal border, inwardly 

 somewhat excavated between nervules, and diminishing to a point 

 at posterior angle ; at base a short black longitudinal mark between 

 median and submedian nervures, and a longer black streak along inner 

 margin to before middle ; an ill-defined narrow terminal disco-cellular 

 black mark. Hind-wing: hind-marginal black border of moderate 

 width, emitting inwardly short acute sublinear nervular dentations and 

 very short internervular ones ; black spots of moderate size, distinct, 

 rounded, viz., one in cell near base ; an irregular sub-basal curved 

 series of four, of which the second is in cell ; two small ones obliquely 

 placed at u^^per part of extremity of cell ; and an irregular median 

 discal series, of which the superior ones (except that next costa) are 

 very small and partly obsolete, but the three lower large and con- 

 spicuous, and forming a straight row from below second median to 

 internal nervule ; base with a rather wide blackish suffusion ; inner- 

 marginal border pale -yellowish beyond middle. Under side. — 

 Exceedingly glossy ; reel in fore-iving extremely pale ; hind-iving pale dull- 

 yellowish ivith a very faint reddish tinge. Fore-icing : costal, apical, 

 and hind-marginal border thinly scaled with pale-yellow crossed by 

 blackish-clouded nervules. Hind-iving : hind-marginal border grey, 

 rather closely scaled with pale-yellow, crossed by blackish nervules, 

 and also by a series of short internervular black streaks not reaching 

 hind-margin ; spots more conspicuous than above, — three additional 

 ones present, viz., two near base on costa and inner margin respectively, 

 and a very small one on inner margin about middle. 



Abdomen above black, with a superior lateral series of six small 

 white spots, and an inferior lateral white streak, — beneath yellowish- 

 white. 



% Bed replaced by very p)<^le, yellowish ; borders not so dark. Fore- 

 wing : base widely suffused with fuscous, especially below cell, where 

 suffusion reaches' to beyond middle ; submedian nervure and median 

 nervure with its first nervule blackish-clouded. Hind-iving: spots 

 larger, especially upper ones of discal series ; basal blackish suffusion
