Male. — Expaud.s 1.3 inch. 



Upper side clear white, tlie bases of wings dnsted with black ; the costal 

 margin of primaries yellowish, specked and crossed by black ; on the apical 

 area a bright and deep colored orange patch, edged outwardly" by a sharply ser- 

 rated black band, which is broadest at apex, and narrow as it descends the mar- 

 gin, but is not broken into spots ; on the arc a sinuous black bar nearly pro- 

 tracted to costal edge, and at its upper extremity expanded in direction of base, 

 filling the space between costal and subcostal nervules ; from the lower third 

 of hind margin proceeds a stripe of scattered black scales which borders the 

 inner side of the orange patch, and sometimes ends a little below the lower outer 

 corner of the discal l)ar, but more often curves round the bar, and is separated 

 from it, I'eaching to the subcostal nervure ; in no case observed does this stripe 

 form a continuous line with the bar, as is often seen in Srwa ; secondaries usu- 

 ally immaculate, but sometimes showing small marginal black spots, or clusters 

 of scales on the nervules ; fringes of primaries alternately black and white, of 

 secondaries white, black at the tips of the nervules. 



Under side white, the apex and hind margin bordered with yellow ; between 

 this and the orange patch a pinkish space ; tlie nervules on both margins bor- 

 dered with greenish-brown, dusted with yellow ; the patch reduced, paler col- 

 ored ; costal margin pinkish specked and crossed by brown ; the bar on the arc 

 reduced and nearly bisected, ending at subcostal nervure ; secondaries have the 

 nervures on basal area orange, elsewhere yellow ; the surface covered with ir- 

 regular greenish-brown patches arranged along the nervules and branches, and 

 on the marginal area forming a pretty continuous broad band, all dusted thickly 

 with yellow scales. 



Body gray-black above; beneath, the thorax white, abdomen yellowish, legs 

 white, the femoi'a orange ; palpi mixed white and black ; antennte orange at 

 base, gray-bro\vn above, gray below ; club black tipped with yellow.
