obliquely transverse crimson fascia, which does not quite touch 

 either margin. The cilia of the posterior wings are dotted with 

 white. The under surface scarcely differs from the upper, except 

 in the transverse band of tail having a small white patch at the 

 termination on the inner margin. Head, thorax, abdomen, an- 

 tennae and legs black.

Dark umber-brown ; the anterior wings above with two trans- 

 verse bands, one nearly central, broadish, well defined, pale yellow, 

 — somewhat narrower, and curving inwards, as it approaches the 

 posterior margin ; the other narrow, obscure, dull yellow, com- 

 mencing towards the apex, and thence curving outwards, runs in 

 a waving line to the posterior angle, getting very faint as it ap- 

 proaches its termination ; posterior wings each produced into a 

 broad, obtuse, diverging tail, having two teeth on the outer margin, 

 above with a pale yellow well-defined broadish band, commencing 

 immediately under the broad band of the anterior wing, and run- 

 ning thence curves gently inwards, until it terminates in a point 

 about midway between the external and internal margins of the 

 wing, a little above the base of the tail ; also with a dull yellow 

 spot on the inner margin of the wing, a little below the apex of the 

 abdomen, and a broadish, orange, undulating band, commencing 

 with a white spot, on the inner margin of the base of the tail, and 

 running diagonally across the tail to a point a little above the 

 apex on the outer margin ; also with a faint, dull, yellow streak 

 parallel to the outer margin of the wing, on which are three white 

 specks on the fringe ; and there are three specks of the same 

 colour, two on the inner margin, and one at the apex of the tail. 

 Undersides of the wings with the same colouring and markings 

 as the upper sides, with the exception of the marginal band of the 

 anterior wings being broader and better defined, and the yellow 

 longitudinal band of the posterior wings curving gently upwards 

 at its extreme length, and terminating on the inner margin, under
