Upper Side. The wings are of a chocolate-black. On the anterior is an orange-coloured Hne, which, 

 rising about the middle of the anterior edge, crosses the wing towards the anal angle, where it suddenly 

 bends, and terminates at the posterior edge. The posterior wings, which are angulated, have a circular 

 orange line, rising at the anterior edge, near the corner, crossing the wings, and meeting near the anal 

 angle. 



Under Side. The wings are of the same colour as on the upper side, with the same orange line, 

 whereon, in the anterior pair, are some white spots. Between this and the base are several faint, dirty 

 grey, oblong spots, namely, four on the anterior, and about twenty on the posterior wing. The base of 

 the anterior margin of the fore wings, and the anal margin of the posterior wings, are of a red colour.
