 discal spot. vSecondaries with a moderate black marginal band, widest from 

 middle toward the apex and narrowing toward the anal angle, which it does 

 not reach. A pale orange geminate discal spot. Fringe of primaries pinkish 

 brown, paler at inner angle; of secondaries more yellowish. Under surface 

 lemon yellow, costa edged with pink. On primaries two small brown spots

 black exterior margin more even in width than in the male but not as sharply

 Under surface as in the male, but the discal spots smaller, the anterior one of
