^ . Varying from a uniform reddish colour tinged with ochreous 

 to a uniform purplish red colour, irrorated with uiinute brown 

 atoms ; base of antennae and space on head between pure white. 

 Fore wings with a brown dot at end of cell. Hind wings with the 

 spot at end of cell, varying in nearly every specimen as follows : — 

 A, a simple brown spot, like in the fore wings ; B, the white dots 

 in a brown spot ; C, three pure white similar spots ; D, a large 

 white spot ringed with brown ; E, a very large white crown-shaped 

 patch, marked internally with reddish ; transverse lines grey and 

 indistinct ; a faint indication in some specimens of an interior line 

 on fore wings. Both wings crossed by medial and discal sinuous 

 lines ; in one specimen the medial line is broad lilie a band, the 

 discal line is more or less dentated, and in some specimens the 

 dentations have blackish points to the tips ; a pale submarginal 

 line of lunular marks, marginal black points, and cilia with a pale 

 basal line. Under side paler, without irrorations ; lines visible. 

 Expanse of wings, 1/^ in. 



Seven specimens. 



Mr. Hampson, after whom I have named this curious 

 species, informs me that he has recently seen specimens 

 from Sikkim with still larger white crown-shaped stigma 

 to hind wings.
