$ . Darlc-hroivn, loith orange-red spots : bases rather widely 

 scaled with orange-ochreous ; hind-wing with two tails, — a 

 rather long acute one on submedian nervure, and a shorter 

 one on third median nervule ; cilia whitish, Avith wide brown 

 interruptions at ends of nervules. Fore-iving : spots sub- 

 quadrate ; one in cell, and another just beyond it; a discal 

 row of five parallel to hind-margin (of which the first three 

 are smaller and sometimes indistinct) between fourth subcostal 

 and third median nervules ; below third median, rather before 

 middle, the largest spot in wing. Hind-wing : a submarginal 

 row of four broad lunular spots between discoidal nervule 

 and submedian nervure (the first, and sometimes the second 

 also, occasionally obsolete), of which the last, as well as anal- 

 angular lobe, is marked with a pale-edged black spot.* 

 Under-side. — Hind-ioing, and borders offore-iuing, soft-grey 

 clouded tvith broivn. Fore-iving : orange-red ; two silvery- 

 white-centred black spots in cell, and a third, larger, closing 

 it ; spots of discal row more or less confluent, the first four 

 (there being an additional costal one) dimly white-centred ; 

 a spot on either side of origin of third median nervule. 

 Hind-iving : central region brown ; the following silvery- 

 white markings, sometimes with ferruginous edges, viz. : a 

 small spot near base, just below costal nervure ; a transverse 

 row of four before middle, of which the second (in cell) is 

 large and elongate ; closing cell, a large irregular marking, 

 emitting a broad rag along discoidal yiervule to beyond middle, 

 where it unites ivith the fourth sjjot of a very irregular discal 

 row of seven or eight linear spots ; hind-mai'gin paler, with a 

 submarginal row of more or less distinct blackish lunules. 



? . Similar to $ . Fore-wing : sometimes an additional 

 orange spot between second and third median nervules, close 

 to their origin. Hind-iving : some two or three small orange 

 marks on disc before lunular row, of which the spots are 

 larger and brighter. Under-side. — All markings more 

 clearly defined. 



* All these spots, save that near anal angle, are sometimes wauling.
