Exp. about 4^ inches. 



" Upperside black, fore wings with a white band at three-fourths of their 

 length, extending from the costa to two-fifths of the width of the wing, and 

 composed of a series of linear or subbifid stripes : hind wings tailed, with a 

 broad white band of a slightly creamy or greenish shade, commencing on the 

 outer half of the costa, which it nearly covers in the male, though narrower at 

 this point in the female ; it is then indented within in the male, and curved 

 outwards towards the cell in the female ; basally it covers the extremity of the 

 cell, and then curves towards the anal angle, before reaching which it ceases ; 

 on the outer side this pale band is greatly indented, especially on its upper 

 portion. 



" Underside : fore wings with the series of subapical stripes extending 

 from the costa larger and more numerous, but, except the basal part of the 

 upper one, consisting only of grey dusting ; the pale band on the hind wings is 

 reduced to five white spots running from the costa, corresponding to the outer 

 part of the band ; the first and last are simply lunules, and the three middle 

 ones are deeply indented on the outside, and are followed by blue dusting ; 

 towards the anal angle are two yellow spots, that nearest the base rounded, and 

 that beyond the white spot in the anal incision linear ; in the female there is 

 also a submarginal row of linear yellow spots on the under surface of the hind 

 wings. 



" Eyes partly surrounded with white ; incisions of the abdomen white."
