 This species, which must be well known to everyone who 

 has seen a case of Butterflies from India, measures about 

 three inches across the wings. The latter are of a slightly bluish- 

 white tint in the male, and yellowish-white in the female, with 

 the nervures broadly black, except on the upper side of the 

 hind-wings in the male. The marginal area is marked off by 

 a transverse black line, outside which is a series of large oval 

 spots, separated by the nervures. On the fore-wings these are 

 of the ground-colour in the male, but tinged with yellow 

 towards the tip in the female ; on the hind-wings they are 

 pink. The under side of the fore-wings is similar to the upper, 

 except that the sub-marginal spots are more decidedly yellow, 

 especially in the female ; the hind-wings are yellow beneath, 

 nearly to the sub-marginal line ; and the sub-marginal spots 

 are of a brighter red than above, and bordered with whitish. 

 The body is white.
