d 1 . Upperside velvety black. Fore wing with pale internervular 

 streaks that do not reach the terminal margin and only obscurely 

 extend into the cell. Hind wing with similar streaks in inter- 

 spaces 5 and 6, but the ground-colour of the cell and of the 

 lower and posterior portions of the wing uniform ; interspaces 3 

 and 4 with elongate somewhat oval white spots at base, an

 slight greenish lustre : markings as on the upperside, but the base 

 of the wing dark red crossed by the black veins, the tornal red 

 spot witk a much broader lunular mark above it, and similar
