 row of spots gradually widening to inner-margin, inclining 

 inwardly, and continued across hind-wing to near anal 

 angle (where it meets the fii'st stripe from costa of fore-

 a quadrate spot ; close to, and parallel to, hind-margin, 

 a row of nine rounded spots. Hind-wing : two crimson, 

 rather elongate, transverse spots at anal angle; a row of
