c?. Body olivaceous black ; abdomen beneath with three lines of white dots ; 

 npperside of abdomen, metanotum and posterior half of mesonotnm clothed with 

 long olive hairs, like basal area of hindwing. 



Wings, uppersidc, black, slightly bluish when viewed obliquely. Forewiug : 



basal area dark orange, sharply defined, separated by a black interspace from the 

 band of pale patches, produced distad at costal margin and extended behind M, 

 filling in the basal angle of cellule R^ — M' ; median and discal spots greenish, sub- 

 marginal ones milky white ; cell-spot triangular, situated in upper corner, with the 

 point directed backwards ; it is the first spot of an oblique band ; the second spot 

 of this band, between R- and R^, is larger, also triangular, with the point directed 

 distad ; the third, R' — M', does not quite extend to the base of the cellule ; the 

 fourth is the largest, elongate, obliquely rounded at both ends, not extending farther 

 proximad than the third, remaining 2 to 3 mm. outside the base of M^ ; the fifth 

 and sixth spots are also elongate, partly merged together, the last being the smallest 

 of all ; the veins between the first five spots black ; a row of four discal spots 

 from SC* to R', the second the smallest ; a complete series of nine submarginal 

 spots, the series broken at R', spots R' — M- being rather more proximal than those 

 before and behind them ; these two spots rounded, about the same size as the first 

 two, which are, however, more triangular or ovate, spots R-— R^ and (SM') — SM^ 

 minute ; fringe with small white spots between the veins, distal margin even, 



slightly sinuate between R^ and M' ; apex rounded. Hindwing : no pale discal 



area ; an incomplete postdiscal series of small rounded spots, of which the second 

 is the largest ; a submarginal series of minute dots, two in each cellule, and close 

 to these dots small transverse dashes, all white, shaded at the edges with blue ; 

 fringe with white sjiots between the veins ; distal margin nearly even, not being 

 distinctly scalloped. 



Underside. Forewing : apical area down to upper angle of cell bright 



russet mummy-brown, this colour extending along outer margin to near M- ; a 

 large jjatch in cell, not reaching base, but extending beyond M, filling in the base 

 of cellule M' — M-, dark orange ; rest of wing black, with practically the same 

 white respectively greenish white markings as above, besides the basal costal and 



subbasal cellular white dots. Hindwing : olivaceous chestnut, brightest at 



costal and abdominal margins ; veins and streaks between the veins black ; white 

 basal dots encirck-il with black, submarginal dots with olive-black.
