between these, and the siibmargiual row of eight white sj^ots between the 

 nervules ; of these the third is nearly obsolete, and the two last stand on the 

 wider space above the snbmedian nervnre. Posterior wings with a series of 

 submarginal greenish-white irregular spots on the lower half of the wing ; within 

 these is a second row of five spots, the two iippermost white, and nearer the 

 costa ; towards the anal angle is a yellow dash surmounted by two black spots, 

 bordered above by two continuous bluisli-white arches. 



Underside clay -yellow. Anterior wings with the ncrvures surrounding the 

 cell mostly black ; a creamy-white baud runs from the subcostal nervure across 

 the cell to the inner margin ; the narrowest part crosses the cell, and is bordered 

 in the cell by a black stripe on each side, the innermost broadest, and very 

 slightly edged with pale on the inside ; on the outside it curves round, forming 

 another band which closes the cell, and is bordered outside with whitish ; below 

 and beyond this, is another black stripe edged outside with white, between the 

 first and second submedian nervules. A curved black line, edged outside with 

 white, runs from the costa at about five-sixths of its length, and is lost in the 

 usual blackish space towards the inner margin. Between this and the cell is 

 another irregular black band, edged outside with white and not crossing the 

 last subcostal nervule ; and there is also a row of seven submarginal spots 

 between the nervures. 



Posterior wings clay-yellow, paler towards the margins ; nervures mostly 

 black towards the base. On the upper half of the basal part of the wing are 

 three black stripes, the innermost edged with white on the inner side, and 

 nearly straight, the others are edged with white on the outside, and the second 

 is most waved ; below the last are two small black spots, and beyond it is a 

 tawny stripe, with a black dash above it, and another just beyond its com- 

 mencement. Beyond the black and white stripe, the tawny stripe is continued 

 by a series of three more distinct tawny lunules, edged outside with black, and 

 inside with white and black, which extend to the anal angle ; within the last is 

 a large V-shaped mark, edged outside with whitish, on the inner margin. Hind 

 margin black, with white incisions ; within this is a row of yellow spots, followed 

 liy l)lack ones edged within Ijy nearly confluent white lunules. At the anal 

 angle, and on the tails are some greenish-white markings.
