 anal angle ; a thin, indistinct blackish dot at extremity of 

 discoidai cell. Hind-wing : hind-margin narrowly edged 

 with black, which is sometimes so intersected with white as 

 to leave only spots at extremities of nervules. UNDER-SIDE. 

 Fore-wing : base tinged with lemon-yellow ; apical patch 

 pale ochreous, marked on its inner edge with a transverse 

 row of four blackish spots in ill-defined brick -red rings ; 

 disco-cellular dot more distinct than on upper-side ; on hind-

 spot. Hind-wing : yellower than fore-wing ; disco-cellular 

 spot pale-red, and black-margined ; a curved row of seven or 

 eight blackish spots, parallel to hind-margin, from costa 

 beyond middle to inner-margin ; black spots on hind-margin
