I\iah\ Uppeeside. Anterior wings black, broadly streaked with orange- 

 tawny on both sides of the nervures on the lower half of the wings. 

 Nervures black, narrowly lined with yellow towards the base. Costal area 

 brown above the costal nervures, and orange-tawny below; it terminates in 

 a yeUow stripe (preceded by a small black triangle on the subcostal nervure), 

 which forms the continuation of an /(rn(;--r//«.9.s-shaped spot, yellow above, and 

 orange-tawny beneath, which fills up the end of the cell, and is preceded 

 by a detached orange stripe from the base, filling the lower part of the cell, 

 and is followed by a large yellow spot beyond the cell, with one or two smaller 

 spots below it. There are broad orange-tawny stripes filling up the space between 

 the inner margin and the middle median nervule ; the uppermost is short, but 

 is followed by an mdistinct yellow spot towards the hind margin ; the rest extend 

 nearly to the hind margin, but the spot between the median and submedian 

 nervures is largely excavated on its lower basal half, and much constricted beyond. 

 Posterior wings with the basal half light smoky-brown, with the outer portion filled 

 up with a very large white spot, deeply indented outside on the middle median 

 nervule ; this is followed by an orange-tawny stripe, merging into yellow on 

 the outer margin, which it almost touches, and narrowly bordered with black ; 

 the intersecting nervures are also narrowly black. Inner margin, and adjacent 

 portion of the hind nuirgin, reddish-brown, narrowly edged outside with black. 



Underside. Anterior wings white, with the costa and apex light brown ; 

 and the tawny and yellow stripe between the costal and subcostal nervures 

 as above, but paler. Posterior wings brownish-tawmy, with a large yellow 

 blotch filling up the apical third of the wing, except a brown border, and 

 followed by white spots on each side of the middle median nervule. A l:)lack 

 band filling up the upper part of the cell and extending a little above it ; a 

 large irregular black spot covering the end of the cell, an oblong spot above 

 it, below the costal nervure, and another black spot between the two lower 

 median nervules. 



Head black, spotted with white, antenn* yellow, blackish on the inner side 

 at the base, and the club light reddish-brown. Thorax black, largely marked 

 with yellow ; legs black, abdomen brow-n. 



Female. Anterior wings as in the male, but with the outer portion of the
