310 Mr. H. Eltringham's Monograph of the 



the length of area 2, and to within about 3 mm. of the margin 

 in lb and la. Costa bhick with a little red at base. Outer 

 portion of wing black, rather thinly scaled in discal area, and 

 a more or less distinct partially transparent subapical patch 

 formed of three spots in 6, 5, and 4. Nervules black and inter- 

 nervular black spurs along margin. A linear black mark at 

 base of lb. Sometimes a black spot in the proximal half of 

 2, and another in lb nearer margin. 



H.-w. bright red with a black hind-marginal border about 

 3 mm. wide having a somewhat irregular inner outline, being 

 indented by the red ground-colour between the nervules 

 especially in 3, 2, and Ic. Traces of red submarginal spots in 

 2 and Ic. Black spots corresponding with those on underside. 



Underside f.-w. a pale replica of the upper with the addition 

 of a black spot at base of costa and a marginal row of tri- 

 angular brownish red internervular marks edged with black. 



H.-w. Base pale pink followed by a dusting of madder 

 brown scales, outside this a pale pink curved median band 

 from costa to inner margin. Marginal band madder brown 

 2-3 mm. wide. A series of deep orange triangular marginal 

 .spots, their bases on the margin, and each enclosed in a black 

 triangle the apex of which is produced in 4, 3, 2, and Ic into a 

 short internervular ray. Black spots large. Three discal spots 

 in 7, 6, and 5 parallel to apical margin. A large composite 

 spot formed of one on discocellulars and one at base of areas 

 (3, 5, and 4. A spot at base of 3 and of 2, the latter followed 

 by a spot in Ic and lb, all in a straight line at right angles to 

 inner margin. A spot in 8 against precostal, one at base and 

 one in middle of cell, a subbasal in Ic, one in lb, and two in 

 la. Some irregular black at base of wing. 



Head black with a pale mark between the eyes, and two 

 reddish tufts on collar. Thorax black with one or two minute 

 pale spots. Abdomen black above with reddish lateral spots. 

 Claws unequal. 



9 . Expanse al)out 58 mm. Upperside like that of the $ 

 b\xt ratlier more thinly scaled, and the red colour paler and 

 duller. The black spots of h.-w. show a tendency to elongation 

 and the b.-w. black hind-marginal border is nearly twice as 

 broad as in the (^ . 



Under-side much paler and duller than that in ^ especially 

 on the h.-w. hind-margiral border, the characteristic pattern 

 of which is merely indicated. One $ in the Staudinger 

 collection has the red areas replaced by white and the trans-
