somewhat prolonged along the inner margin. Fringe darkish 

 opposite the apical patch; elsewhere pale. Hind-wings narrowly 

 bordered with black, a blackish patch at the marginal termination 

 of each branch of the median, of the radial, and of the two subcostal 

 veins, the latter three patches being more or less fused together. 

 A minute blackish streak, representing a submarginal spot, near 

 the border; running between, and parallel with, the third median 

 and radial veins. Base of the wing with a blackish patch, rather 

 larger and more diffused than that of the fore -wing. Fringe pale. 



Underside. Fore-wings white ; the apical area, which corresponds 

 in size with that on the upjier surface, divided into an outer ochreous 

 and inner pale orange band by a series of four minute dusky spots, 

 elongated in a direction parallel with the veins. Discoidal spot 

 somewhat larger and more distinct than on the upper surface. 

 Hind-wings reddish ochreous with a slight dusky clouding in the 

 precostal space, along the posterior half of the cell, and between 

 the median and submedian veins. A bright orange-yellow streak 

 along the costa, and a submarginal series of six diffused dusky spots, 

 each occupying one of the interspaces from the costal to the second 

 median; of these the first (in the costal interspace) is the largest, 

 and the third (in the second subcostal interspace) is almost obsolete. 

 A small squared black spot at the re-entrant angle terminating the 

 cell, bounded internally by a slight diffusion of orange-yellow. 



$. Exp. al. 36-39 mm. Upperside pale creamy white; fore- 

 wings with an orange apical patch of nearly the same shade and 

 relative size as in the male. This patch is separated from the rest 

 of the wing by an irregular dark bar, narrow in the middle of its 

 course, but expanding anteriorly into a triangular blotch with its 

 base resting on the costa, and posteriorly becoming fused with a 

 curved submarginal band of dark spots, increasing in size from 

 before backwards, and traversing the middle of the orange patch 

 from the second subcostal to the second median interspace. The 

 costa as far as the apical patch is narrowly bordered with grey, 

 the iiatch itself is bounded anteriorly and posteriorly with black, 

 the black posterior margm being much thicker than in the male, 

 and less markedly prolonged along the veins, but being similarly 

 narrowed as it leaves the patch and approaches the anal angle. As 

 in the male, the veins crossing the apical patch are black. The 

 black discoidal spots are larger and more conspicuous than in the 

 male ; the base of the wings shows a greyish diffusion, and a well- 

 marked dark grey bar runs in the median and submedian interspaces, 

 parallel with the inner border, and endmg near the anal angle 

 in a fairly definite dark patch which appears to be in series with the 

 submarginal spots. The fringes are pale reddish, taking a darker
