veins ; a discal irregular black band composed of large black spots 

 between the veins, these spots are traversed on their inner halves 

 by a line of diffuse blue and cream-coloured scaling, and in some of 

 the interspaces margined inwardly and outwardly by a shading of 

 ochraceous ; the subterminal series as on the upperside but much 

 larger and formed of somewhat irregular quadrate spots.

<$ $ . Upperside black. Fore wing : base below cell and basal 

 half of latter so irrorated with yellow scales as to form more or 

 less complete transverse dotted lines, two outwardly oblique yellow 

 spots in cell and a curved spot at its upper apex ; a spot at base 

 and another beyond it in interspace 8 ; a discal transverse series 

 of cream-yellow spots irregular in arrangement and size extends 

 from interspace 1 a to 8 ; the series 

 interrupted in interspace 5 and the 

 spot in interspace 7 double; this is 

 followed by a sinuous postdiscal series 

 of spots and an admarginal terminal 

 series of smaller spots. In many 

 specimens between the discal and post- 

 discal series the black ground-colour 

 is irrorated with yellowish scales. 

 Hind wing : base and an edging that 

 decreases in width along the dorsal 

 margin irrorated with yellow scales ; 

 followed by a broad medial yellow 

 irregular band, a sinuous postdiscal 

 series of outwardly emarginate yellow 

 spots and a terminal series of smaller
