black ; mid-leg with the femur and tibia a little less densely irrorated 

 with morocco red, tarsi and spurs cream-coloured and broadly 

 irrorated with black; hind-legs thinly irrorated with morocco red 

 and black scales mixed, irroration on the spurs and tarsi less dense ; 

 thorax above irrorated with morocco red and black scales mixed ; 

 abdomen above with first segment narrowly irrorated with black, 

 second broader black irroration, third with black irroration on 

 posterior half only, fourth to seventh almost entirely black, mixed 

 with some ochraceous-salmon (xv) scales except at the sides and 

 leaving a very narroAv line of ground-colour posteriorly; eighth 

 segment irrorated with deep chrome (iii) scales mixed with cchra- 

 ceous-salmon ; antennae ciliated, shaft sayal brown (xxix), basal 

 process as long as thorax and covered with rather long black spathu- 

 lated scales and some hairs, especially towards extremity. Fore- 

 wing with a little less than basal half densely irrorated with morocco 

 red, black and bluish slate-black (xlviii), mixed so as to appear to 

 the naked eye quite black with a steel-blue gloss; a faint diffused 

 subbasal ochraceous- orange (xv) line from costa to lb; antemcdial 

 line of same colour from costa to inner margin, beginning as a cream- 

 coloured broad patch at costa and having a fan of black scales on 

 it in cell and a similar fan before it below lower median; medial 

 line, defining black area, straight and erect and with a fan of black 

 scales in cell often projecting a little beyond the line ; this fan is 

 surrounded by yellow- brown scales; a postmedial line of ground- 

 coloui', preceded by some black triangular scaling at the costa, 

 directed outward to vein 5 and somewhat dentated between the 

 veins, then curved somewhat inwardly to plical fold, then to tornus ; 

 area before this line from vein 6 to inner margin densely irrorated 

 with morocco red and some yellow irroration before this ; whole 

 area beyond the postmedial line irrorated with morocco red, excejjt 

 a terminal area, which is broad near apex and ends at vein 2 ; 

 terminal area irrorated with yellow; some terminal black lunules 

 on the veins, which have a tendency to become a fine black terminal 

 line in some specimens; cilia with a faint line in middle and of 

 ground-colour. Hind- wing with some fuscous scales on inner 

 margin near base ; a fuscous postmedial irroration from before 

 vein 2 to vein 3 ; a subterminal fuscous irroration from Ic to apex, 

 densest near tornus and gradually getting more sparing towards 

 apex; a terminal irroration from tornus to vein 2, then becoming 

 lunules on the veins; cilia with a faint line in middle. 



Underside: — both wings of cream-colour; fore- wing irrorated 

 at basal half with black and beyond that the costal area is irrorated 

 with morocco red; a postmedial line, corresponding to the one on 

 upperside, but situated before it and consisting of black irroration ;
