 irrorated with grey near base ; discoidal cell nearly filled 

 with an orange-red suffusion, which extends faintly below 

 it ; margins faintly yellow-tinged ; hind-marginal spots 

 triangular, nervular, contiguous, at apex confluent ; just 

 before apex from costa, some indistinct oblique fuscous 

 scaling. Hind-wing : creamy -yellow ,* marginal spots dark 

 but ill-defined, rather suffused, that at end of discoidal 

 nervule much the smallest ; nervures white. UNDER-SIDE. 

 Hind-wing and edges of fore-wing (except inner-margin) 

 rich chrome-yellow ; some of marginal spots wanting, those 

 present small, ferruginous -grey. For e- wing : basal red 

 deeper, its edge better defined ; at apex a large, ill-defined, 

 whitish) partly ferruginous-grey-edged blotch. Hind-wing : 

 two similar blotches on hind-margin, one (bifid internally) 

 between first sub-costal and discoidal nervules, the other 

 between first and second median nervules ; a little grey 

 scaling extends on either side of the latter blotch.
