truncate, costa thickened, and slightly curved ; apex squared ; 

 hind margin hardly oblique, straight to below the middle, 

 thence suddenly rounded off to the dorsal margin, which also 

 is curved obliterating the anal angle ; colour pale orange- 

 brown, broadly shaded along the costal and dorsal margins 

 and down the median area with greyish-salmon colour, also 

 with a dusting of black along the subdorsal and median 

 nervures and spreading out from the latter along the hind 

 marginal region, where the smaller nervures are dusted with 

 black and white ; the median is from the base more blackened 

 than any other part of the wing, and upon it are faint 

 suggestions of the two upper stigmata, a black dot indi- 

 cating the place of the orbicular, and three or four more, 

 placed in a curve, the lower edge of the reniform ; first 

 line sometimes indicated by a black dot each on the median 

 and subdorsal nervures, and the second line by a curved 

 series of six or seven similar dots, all upon nervures ; along 

 the hind margin is a conspicuous row of six to eight deep 

 black dots hctioecn nervures; cilia orange-brown. Hind 

 wings short, yellowish-white, more or less clouded along the 

 nervures with black dusting, and with the apical region 

 faintly shaded with orange-red; cilia yellowish-white. 

 Female usually a very little larger, with the fore wings 

 slightly more pointed ; pale drab without orange or reddish 

 clouding, but with similar markings and shades ; hind wings 

 white, almost devoid of darker shading ; antennas thread- 

 like ; body rather stouter. 



Underside of the fore wings yellow-drab, clouded along 

 the middle area with dull smoky-black, which however is 

 divided by a longitudinal pale stripe arising at the end of 

 the discal cell ; costa dusted with light brown ; hind margin 

 sharply dotted with black. Hind wings yellowish-white ; 

 costal and apical regions dusted with purple-brown. Body 

 and leg-tufts yellowish-drab; legs pale brown. 



Variation seems in this species to be confined to greater or 

 less intensity of the red or orange clouding and of the black
