Mr. H, Eltringham's Monograph of the 



black 4 to 6 mm. wide at apex and tapering to nothing at hind 

 angle, its inner edge not sharply defined and tending to brownish, 

 sometimes with red scales on the internervular folds. A little 

 beyond cell an oblique discal bar of black, widest at costa and 

 extending to nervure 4, followed by a small round spot in area 3. 

 Below nervule 3 and a little beyond its origin, a rounded spot 

 (sometimes absent). At end of cell on discocellulars an oblique 

 transverse black spot. H.-w. with a broad inwardly suffused black 

 hind-marginal border reaching nearly to the cell. Base sufl'used 

 with black extending to half the length of cell. Discal area white, 

 areas 7 and 6, and lb at anal angle suffused with pink, sometimes 

 a slight powdering of the same colour in 4 and 5, at outer edge 

 of white. In some examples a faint discal row of greyish spots 

 in 7, 6, 5, and 4 (gradually lost in marginal border). Fringes 

 of both wings black touched with white between the nervules. 



Underside. F.-w. deep pink, the subapical area powdered with 

 greyish white, and,marked on the internervular rays with orange 

 ochreous. Apical black much reduced, remaining black mark- 

 ings as on upperside, a minute white subbasal spot above costal 

 nervure. H.-w. Black basal and marginal areas as on upperside 

 but sharply defined. Discal area milk white bordered basally 

 and distally with internervular red markings. Basal black 

 bears eight or nine white spots, and on marginal Ijlack is a row 

 of seven minute white spots, that in Ic doubled. A submarginal 

 white line in lb, and sometimes also in la. 



Thorax black with two or three white spots above and many 

 below. Abdomen black at base shading into orange ochreous 

 at extremity, and laterally spotted with white. Claws unequal. 



9 • Expanse 55-60 mm. F.-w. dull ochreous. Black mark- 

 ings as in ^ . Sometimes a powdering of white at costa in sab- 

 apical region. Basal black tends to be reduced between median 

 and inner margin. H.-w. sufl'used with black at base extending 

 to about one-third the length of cell. A broad hind-marginal black 

 border more clearly defined than in ^ and sometimes showing 

 extremely minute internervular whitish dots. Remainder of 

 wing dull ochreous with a central white suft'usion from nervule 7 

 to inner margin. 



Underside. F.-w. paler ochreous. A minute white spot near 

 base above costa. Subapical area milk white, with internervular 

 ochreous markings. Apical black much reduced. H.-w. as on 

 upperside, but whole discal area creamy white bordered basally 

 and distally with red. Basal black bears white spots and hind- 

 marginal black border bears larger white spots than in the male, 

 and between it and the red margin of the discal area are inter-
