Exp. 2J inches. 



Mah'. Upperside. Both wings lacteous white, with broad brownish- 

 Ijlack marginal l)ands. Anterior wings with the base and costal margin to half 

 its length dusted with grey scales, thence to the apex and along the outer 

 margin broadly brownish-black ; the inner edge of the black area, which is very 

 irregular, extending across the apex, at half the distance between it and the 

 cell, and tapering gradually to the outer angle where it is narrowest. In the 

 apical dark area are six white streaks, the first and sixth being nearly 

 obsolete. On the i)osterior wings the broad dark band on the underside shows 

 indistinctly on the inner side of the brownish-black marginal band. 



Underside. Anterior wings as above, but the apical white streaks are 

 enlarged into a row of broad sjiots, the uppermost of which are bright yellow ; 

 the lower spots are white, and almost cover the black marginal band, which is 

 reduced on its inner edge to an irregular black streak, becoming obsolete below 

 the lowest median nervule. Posterior wings liright yellow with a broad brownish- 

 black band, the inner edge of which is very irregular, and rather deeply indented 

 between the two upper median nervules ; in the dark band is a row of indistinct 

 yellow spots, of which that above the discoidal nervule is largely developed. 



Femah'. Upperside. Both wings browner, the submarginal row of white 

 streaks in the male lieing developed into a row of seven large yellowish-white 

 spots extending from the costa to the submedian nervure. On the posterior 

 wings the orange spots in the underside of the band are represented by four 

 yellowish-white spots, of which that nearest the anal angle is the smallest. 



The underside resembles the male, but the yellow colouring is represented 

 by orange, and on the anterior wings the inside edge of the outer marginal band 

 is continued as far as the submedian nervm-e.

In the Colloctious of tlie Hon. Walter Rothschild and Mr. H. Grose-Smith. 



I have changed the name of this species, as I find that Lieutenant-Cok)uel Swiuhoe has 

 already described an " Huphina Pallida " from Tndia. 



Sis specimens, of which two are females. Nearest to B. Nahis, Luc, B. LatiVmihafa, Butl., 

 and B. Agnata, Grose-S-mith.
