also more or less clouded with blackish near the border ; two 

 good-sized spots in discoidal cell, the outer one* touching an 

 oblique black mark on costa immediately above it ; a spot, 

 variable in size, at extremity of cell ; beyond it, but very 

 close, a rather wide, irregularly-shaped, black stripe from 

 costa, to near middle of hind-margin, where its extremity 

 touches the first of a row of three spots, parallel to hind- 

 margin, between first median nervule and sub-median ner- 

 vure; above third median nervule, close to its insertion, a 

 rather large, rounded, black spot ; below the same nervule, a 

 little beyond the latter spot, a similar, more kidney-shaped 

 spot ; a more or less distinct, small black spot beyond middle, 

 on inner-margin, which is very narrowly edged with black. 

 Hind-iv'ing : base suflfused with black ; about twelve rather 

 small, round, black spots in basal half of wing, the outer seven 

 or eight of which form an irregularly- waved transverse row ; a 

 curved black streak at upper portion of extremity of discoidal 

 cell ; hind-margin with a moderately-broad black border, un- 

 spotted, which radiates strongly upon nervules. Under-side. 

 — Paler and duller than upper-side. Fore-wing : dull, creamy 

 salmon-red ; a small black mark on costa at base, but no black 

 suffusion ; two spots nearest to base wanting ; the other spots 

 similar in number and arrangement, but dull-blackish ; an 

 additional small black spot just below median nervure, before 

 middle; beyond the blackisii stripe, a small space is clouded 

 w^ith whitish ; no black border on hind-margin, but the 

 nervules are clouded with dark -grey near it, and there are 

 broad, reddish-ochre markings between the nervules, all along 

 hind-marginal border, Hind-iving : reddish-white ; black 

 spots as on upper-side, but three or four more visible close 

 to base, all very conspicuous ; interspersed among the spots, 

 several pale-reddish marks ; hind-marginal band blackish, 

 radiating in dark-grey on the nervules, and containing seven 

 elongate, yellowish or yellowish-white spots, between nervules, 

 along its outer portion ; immediately within band, a row of 

 elongate, wedge-shaped, reddish-ochre marks between nervules. 

 ?. Very different from $ in colouring. Fore-wing : AvxW- 

 greyish-brown, with an ochreous tinge ; black spots less con- 

 spicuous than in $ , but similar in number and arrangement 

 (except that the spot nearest base is wanting) ; beyond black 

 costal stripe, a large, very conspicuous, broad, white patch, 

 divided into six portions by crossing nervules, the two sec- 

 tions next costa being very small and narroM^ the lower edge 

 of the white touching second median nervule ; apex more 

 broadly and darkly clouded with blackish. Hind-wing : 

 paler, more oclucous than fore-wing; marked as in $ , but
