Moh'. Uppekside. Wings rather strongly dentated, dull hlack. with a 

 common creamy white band beyond the cell, and the incisions spotted with white. 

 On the anterior wings it extends from just ]»eyond the origin of the third 

 subcostal nervnle to the inner margin ; it is divided into long spots by the 

 l)lack nervm'es, and in its inner edge it forms two regular curves. Its outer 

 edge is very irregular. The upper portion of the Itand beyond the cell Iteconies 

 suddenly very narrow, owing to the outer half being reduced to mere scattered 

 scales, while the white scaling is so thin on the long spot innnediately below 

 the narrow part, and on the inner side of the two next, as to make this j)art ef 

 the band appear grey rather than white. On the j)osterior wings the band is 

 uniform in colour and scaling, and not divided by the n(^r\ures, which where 

 they cross the band are white. Its inner side, wliicli just crosses the end of 

 the cell, is fairly regular; on the outer side, three long teeth are tiirown out 

 along the nervures nearest the costa, and a shorter one towards the anal angl^; 

 between the band and the anal angle is a snuiU isolated white spot. 



Underside. Anterior wings dark brown, paler towards the hind margin. 

 with the incisions marked with very distinct white triangular spots. Between 

 the third subcostal nervule and the upper discoidal nervule is the commencement 

 of a transverse band formed of scattered yellowish-white scales. Posterior 

 wings darker brown, with rather broad white lunules on the incisions. Beyond 

 the cell, between the first subcostal nervule and the inner margin, the wing is 

 crossed by a series of six pale sfjots, formed of yellowish-white scales, b^'tweeii 

 the nervures ; the two middle lunules being almost obsolete, and that nearest 

 the abdominal fold being semicircular. Below this last is a large orange blotch 

 bordered at the sides with white, aiid marked above with a little blue scaling ; 

 outside the pale lunules is an indication of a series of bhie spots, indefinite in
