3g. Upperside. Fore-wing: scarlet, broadly bordered 
with fuscous-brown along costa, hind margin and across 
apex of fore-wing. The median nervure, outer portions 
particularly of the median nervules, sub-median nervure 
and base of wing fuscous, but in varying intensity, thus in 
one example the end of cell is so marked and continued 
broadly below to Ist median nervule, the hind-marginal 
border also broadens at anal angle; in another example 
this band is narrower and of uniform width and other 
examples show intermediate stages. Hind-wing: scarlet, 
inner marginal border and anteciliary line dark fuscous. 
In two specimens fuscous spots are present at the base of 
the two tails. 
Underside. Dull brown ochreous to orange ochreous. 
Sub-marginal line well pronounced in some, hardly notice- 
able in others. A small transverse whitish bar on inner 
margin above anal lobe edged above and below with thin 
fuscous line. Small fuscous markings relieved with a few 
light scales at base of tails in some specimens, but hardly 
visible in most. Tail brown ochreous, white-tipped. 
Q. Upperside. Fore-wing: fulvous, with dark fuscous 
markings as in male, except that the hind-marginal border 
widens across anal angle, narrowly along inner margin to 
join basal region of fuscous; this last extends narrowly 
(broadly in some examples) along and below median nervure 
to base of 3rd median nervule. Cilia fulvous. Hind-wing : 
costal region fulvous, succeeded in the lower half (in lower 
three-quarters in some specimens) by fuscous, anal region 
relieved with grey. The hind-wings are extremely variable ; 
thus the anal grey colouring is practically absent in one 
specimen, in another extending nearly to end of Ist median 
nervule. Underside as in male. 
Distribution. Tenasserim, Burma, Sumatra (B.M.), 
Borneo (coll. Druce), Tenasserim (coll. Joicey).
