 dark tawny orange, which colour occupies about half the wings, and is bounded by a very in-egular line. 

 A broad black patch occupies the tips of the wings, beginning about the middle of the anterior edge, 

 and extends along the external one to the interior angle ; on which, near the tips, are two clay-coloured 

 round spots ; and below them, in some specimens, are two more spots near the external edge. The space 

 between the black patch and the tawny orange is of a clay colour, with three round black spots on it, the 

 lower one the largest. Posterior wings tawny orange, the posterior edges being of a dirty brown ; and 

 above them are seen two rows of black crescents irregularly placed, over these are five round black 

 spots. The wings are slightly dentated, the inferior ones most. 



Under Side. All the wings clay colour. A dark, faint, engrailed line, composed of a number 

 of crescents, joined together, runs transversely across the supei-ior and inferior wings, extending to the 

 anal angle.
