^ . Expanse 54-64 mm. F.-w. narrow, and pointed at apex. 

 Costa, apex, hind, and inner margins black. Cell, areas 2 and 

 lb, semitransparent, rather thinly powdered with black. The 

 cell at base and extremity tinged with red. Area 2 occupied 

 by a large semitransparent spot dusted with red, sometimes 

 fading outwardly to creamy white. Base of area lb dusted 

 with red and near margin a large fairly well-defined spot also 

 dusted with red. Beyond cell a subapical bar of three elongated 

 semitransparent patches between the nervules, dusted with 

 black basally, and sometimes with creamy white distally. 

 Beneath these a similar but shorter and rounder patch in 

 area 3. Nervules 2, 3, and 4 heavily dusted with black 

 especially towards margin. 



H.-w. with a sepia black basal suffusion rather well defined

 easily distinguished on the underside. A sepia black marginal 

 border 2-3 mm. wide and inwardly somewhat edentate on and 

 between the nervules. Central area of wing bright red (rosy 

 red in fresh examples), yellowish at inner margin. 



Underside. F.-w. sparsely scaled and rather vitreous, the 

 red areas showing through from the upperside. Costa, apex, 

 and hind margin ochreous traversed by brown black nervule 

 ends and rays. Some brown black dusting at hind angle, and 

 costa and area lb black at base. A fine dark brown line round 

 hind margin. Median nervure and basal portions of nervules 

 2 and 3 laterally dusted with large ocbre-yellow scales. 



H.-w. Ochre yellow with a greenish basal suffusion and hind- 

 marginal border. A fine brown hind-marginal line. Beyond 

 cell the nervules are narrowly powdered with dark brown, and 

 between them are short, fine, brown internervular rays which 

 reach the margin. Black spots as follows :— One at base in area
