rounded ; dorsal margin also rather full ; grouutl colour 

 white ; basal area to the first line filled up with stripes of 

 lilue-black divided by dull orange-brown ; beyond this a 

 l)road band of the white ground colour is prettily divided by 

 very slender duplicate rijipled blaclc lines both thickened 

 upon the costa, and these closely followed hy a curved slate- 

 lilack costal blotch, the outer edge of which is a jxirtion of 

 the second line ; this last is continued througli the white 

 area in a series of sharp angles running in as black points on 

 the nervures ; beyond the second line narrow stripes from 

 the costa of alternately chestnut and orange-yellow preceded 

 and followed by slender white lines, form a jjatch of unusual 

 beauty, which is shaded off toward the anal angle, leaving 

 the hind-marginal region sufiused with pale reddish-grey ; 

 discal spot when visible an upright black streak ; cilia smoky 

 grey. Hind wings rounded behind and obscurely crenu- 

 lated ; white, dusted with grey-brown ; central spot small 

 and round, smoky-black ; followed by two or three very 

 faint rippled grey transverse lines which do not approach the 

 costa ; beyond these a similar line, rather more distinct, and 

 also more complete, bounds a broad marginal band of pale 

 brown clouding, followed by minute dark brown streaks ; 

 cilia white, shaded with grey. 



Female quite similar. 



Undersides of all the wings white, rippled with faint 

 slender transverse grey lines ; the markings of the upper side 

 showing faintly through. Body and legs brownish-white. 



Usually very constant in colour and markings, except that 

 the discal spot is unreliable ; but occasionally, when this is 

 present, faint additional lines seem to appear around it anil 

 below. In Mr. Sydney Webb's collection is one, without the 

 discal spot, but having a large white circular spot, cut off by 

 a l)lack line, between the two large dark blotches, iVom thr 

 larger white area. 



On the wing in the latter part of -June and in -July.
