264 LEPIDOPTERA. 



clouded on its inner side with deep black ; second line 

 double, black, thickened, and abundantly waved and angu- 

 lated throughout, one loop near the dorsal margin so long as 

 to approach the first line ; subterminal line double, brown- 

 black, excessively angulated and zigzagged throughout, and 

 enclosing a pale similarly formed stripe ; beyond this the 

 hind-marginal area is much dusted with black, and sometimes 

 with golden-brown ; reniform stigma rather large, its middle 

 portion being a black angulated cloud with a pale brown 

 centre, surrounded with pale grey, and the whole enclosed by 

 a black edging; beneath it is a large pale spot edged by a 

 black loop which joins the second line ; the portion of the 

 wing between the first and second lines is usually pale, the 

 costal portion especially, but in it are two black spots on the 

 costa, and the small beginnings of a central shade on the 

 dorsal margin ; along the extreme hind margin is a row of 

 ashy- white dots backed by black lunules ; cilia rather crenu- 

 lated, of the colour of the wing-margin, edged and indented 

 between the crenulations with white. Hind wings moderately 

 broad, rounded and strongly crenulated, rich crimson ; inner 

 black stripe rather slender, perpendicular but with faint 

 curves to below the middle of the wing, then curling toward 

 the dorsal margin, which, however, it does not nearly 

 approach ; outside it, but with its inner edge not quite 

 parallel, is the usual broad deep black hind-marginal band, 

 very broad at the apex, narrowing off toward the anal angle, 

 its outer edge usually tinged or clouded with crimson ; cilia 

 white partially tinged with crimson, but otherwise clouded 

 and interrupted with black. Female extremely similar. 



Underside of the fore wings deep black, the base, a large 

 blotch before the middle and a stripe from the costa which 

 tapers off to the dorsal margin, all white ; apex dusted, and 

 cilia spotted, with white. Hind wings rich crimson, the 

 black bands as on the upper side, except that the inner is 

 completed to the dorsal margin and is also joined to a large 

 black central lunule at both its extremities, thereby enclosing
