Black, with pale sulphur-yellow stripes and spots. Fore- 

 wing : a yellow streak from base just above sub-costal ner- 

 vure ; basal portion, to some distance, thickly streaked with 

 thin yellowish transverse lines, and irrorated with yellowish 

 scales ; in outer portion of discoidal cell two good-sized 

 spots, the lower one farther from base than upper, a trans- 

 verse yellow streak touching the closing nervule ; above the 

 latter, outside cell, a short longitudinal streak ; beyond this, 

 a sub-quadrate spot on costa commences a transverse row of 

 ten irregular-shaped spots, the first three curving outwards 

 towards hindmargin, the remainder inclining inwardly, in- 

 creasing in size to about middle of inner-margin ; two rows 

 of spots along hind-margin, the inner row of nine spots com- 

 mencing with an elongate outwardly-curving mark on costa, 

 the outer row, on hind-marginal edge, consisting of eight 

 lunular spots. Hind-wing : a little before middle, a transverse 

 stripe continuous of the median row of spots in fore-wing, 

 narrowing to beyond middle of inner-margin, and divided 

 into six by the crossing nervures ; on costa, touching outer 

 edge of stripe, an ovate, reddish, blue-scaled spot in a black 

 ring ; on inner-margin, just before anal angle and almost 

 touching stripe, a black inwardly densely blue-scaled spot, 

 bounded outwardly by a dark-red crescent ; two rows of 

 hind-marginal spots as in fore-wing, but larger and more
