 sulphur-yellow, irrorated near the base with black, the brown area crossed 

 ])eyond and partly aliovc the cell by a broad irregular transverse orange band, 

 which extends into the cell at its upper angle. Posterior wings sulphur-yellow, 

 with a rather broad dark brown margin, tapering towards the anal angle. 



" Underside sulphur-yellow, very sparingly irrorated with black. Anterior 

 wings paler towards the inner margin, with a black spot at the end of the cell, 

 and another indistinct spot near the inner angle. Posterior wings with a 

 smaller Ijlack spot on the upper discocellular nervule. Both wings with

" Near I. Latefasciatus of Butler, but smaller, the dark margins on the upperside of the 

 posterior -wings much narrower, and the upjierside is almost clear sulphur-yellow, instead of 

 being densely irrorated." (H. G. S., loc. cif.)

 is lilackish, irnirated with yellow. On the under surface, the inner margin of the fore wings is
