of spots, in parts confluent with hiucl-margiual border. Furc-iving : 

 basal black sharply defined externally, having almost a straight edge ; 

 upper spots of transverse discal row confluent, and, in conjunction with 

 apical border, isolating a conspicuous white spot between upper radial 

 and third median nervules ; hind-marginal border, below this, com- 

 pletely confluent with other spots of discal row ; at posterior angle 

 a short linear hind-marginal white mark. Hind-iving : basal black 

 not so dark or externally so sharply defined as in fore-wing ; costal 

 border rather sufi'used ; terminal disco-cellular iunule almost merged 

 in basal black ; discal row of spots widely interrupted between second 

 subcostal and third median nervules, — the first and third spots united 

 respectively to costal and hind-marginal borders ; an indistinct hind- 

 marginal row of black spots in border, immediately succeeded by a more 

 or less conspicuous interrupted white line usually becoming obsolete 

 superiorly ; tail on first median nervule rather long, black, white- 

 tipped. Under side. — White, vjith narroio Uack strcalcs and spots. 

 Fore-wing : a longitudinal streak from base, bounding costal nervure 

 inferiorly, and eryiing abruptly on costa before middle ; below it a 

 broader, upward-curving streak from submedian nervure close to base, 

 the end of which penetrates discoidal cell near extremity ; costa narrowly 

 edged with black ; an almost straight transverse streak closing cell, 

 from costa (where it is broader) to origin of third median nervule ; an 

 irregular sub-macular discal transverse streak, emitting a more or less 

 marked projection outward between radial nervules, and interrupted on 

 second median nervule ; a regular submarginal series of sub-linear or 

 lunulate spots, becoming rather thicker, and approximating very closely 

 to spots of discal row inferiorly ; a hind-marginal series of very small 

 rounded spots, succeeded by a black edging line. Hind-wing : at base, 

 a very short slightly curved streak, abruptly beginning immediately 

 beyond curve of costal nervure, and ending close to origin of inner 

 margin ; a sub-basal curved transverse row of three elongate spots — 

 the lowest on inner-margin ; a terminal disco-cellular Iunule ; a very 

 strongly curved discal row of seven rather small spots, from costal 

 nervure to inner-margin — a wide interruption, from second subcostal 

 to radial nervule, between second and third spots, and two minor 

 interruptions between fourth and fifth, and sixth and seventh spots 

 respectively ; of submarginal row of spots, only the first and second 

 (next costa) and the last (on inner margin) distinctly marked, the 

 remainder being faint and linear, and about middle almost obsolete ; 

 hind-marginal row of spots very distinct (except the first, which is 

 almost obsolete), — the three lowest usually more or less distinctly 

 including a ring of bluish-silvery scales, — the spot between first and 

 second median nervules largest ; a fine hind-marginal bounding black 

 line. 



Cilia fuscous at origin throughout ; in fore-wing fuscous with 

 well-marked white interruptions at apex, posterior angle, and about
