jo8 Lloyd's natural history. 



fringes of tlie wings are ochre-yellow between the black 

 nervLires. The fore-wings are broad and sub-triangular, with 

 the costa nearly straight, and the hind margin gradually 

 curved. The hind-wings are nearly as long as the fore-wings, 

 and the hind margin is rounded. The fore-wings are crossed by 

 two large white lunules before the middle, preceded by a round 

 white dot on the costa, and succeeded by another on the inner 

 margin. The ocellus is formed of a white, curved, and 

 irregularly shaped mark, surrounded with black and orange. 

 Beyond the ocellus is a curved row of white semi-circular 

 spots, the bases of which are outward, and are stained with 

 yellow. The spot nearest the inner margin is small, but those 

 next to it are considerably larger than the upper ones. This 

 white band is more continuous on the hind-wings, running 

 round a large black central ocellus, containing a white curve 

 surrounded with orange. The white on the inner side of the 

 black spot is interrupted by a yellow dash, and the space 

 between this and the base is bright pink or rosy ; within the 

 white band is an oval black spot on the inner margin. The 

 outside of this white band is stained with buff. On the under 

 side the eye-spots are much smaller, and there is a row of w^hite 

 sub-costal spots on the fore-wings, those near the base stained 

 with pink, a large rosy blotch filling up the whole of the 

 inner part of the wing, except towards the base and costa. On 

 the hind-wings there is only a slight rosy patch towards the 

 base of the inner mar2,in.
