172 LLOYDS NATURAL HISTORY. 



The male is white above, with the costa, apical third, and hind- 

 margin of the fore- wings black, marked with long white spots 

 and streaks between the nervures. The hind-wings are white, 

 with a narrower black border, containing round white spots, very 

 narrowly separated from the ground-colour. On the under side 

 of the fore-wings, the white portion is broken up into spots by 

 the strongly incrassated black nervures, and the spots towards 

 the apex are tinged with yellow. The hind-wings are black, 

 with the inner-margin and the base of the costa broadly yellow, 

 the cell filled up with yellow, and two rows of yellow spots be- 

 yond, one discal, and the other marginal. 



We quote Mr. Moore's original description of the female, as 

 it has been confounded with some of the allied species : 



" Upper side blackish-brown ; fore-wings with two rows of 

 narrowish white marks ; two lengthened marks between median 

 and sub-median veinlets, and four small spots within discoidal 

 cell ; hind-wings with a marginal row of whitish spots ; another 

 row from anterior margin widening towards the anal angle ; 

 abdominal margin broadly whitish, the latter tinged with yellow; 

 also white linear mark in discoidal cell. Under side as in the 

 upper side, but with all the markings on the hind-wings 

 yellow."

This genus includes a considerable number of Indo-Malayan 



and Austro-Malayan species, distinguished by having the anal 



valves of the male elongated and provided with a tuft of long 



and stiff hairs at each side of the base beneath. " The species
