c? . Upperside : lemon-yellow ; base of wings irrorated with 

 black scales. Fore wing : discocellulars with a broad, short, 

 transversely oblique bar that does not extend to the costal 

 margin, apex from about the apical third of the costa in a curve 

 (angulate in the middle) to the tornus, black, traversed obliquely 

 by a more or less obscure maculate narrow band of the ground- 

 colour ; cilia yellow alternated with black. Hind wing : uniform, 

 immaculate. Underside : duller paler yellow. Fore wing : the 

 black discocellular mark shorter, the apical black area of the 

 upperside showing through by transparency and irrorated with 

 minute black scales, often an obscure pink line along the costal 

 and terminal margins ; the costa towards apex with a series of 

 small white spots, each spot inwardly defined by a minute black 

 dot. Hind wing : densely irrorated with black scales ; a small 

 white discocellular spot and a series of white transverse spots 

 along the costal margin as in the fore wing, but more distinct. 

 Antennae yellowish brown, head fuscous, collar pinkish, thorax 

 fuscous, abdomen black on the sides and yellow beneath. 

 $ . Upperside : very pale sulphur-yellow. Fore wing : black, mark- 

 ings as in the d but the discocellular bar broader and longer ; the 

 preapical maculate band of the ground-colour in the black area 

 more distinct. Hind wing : uniform, immaculate. Underside : 

 ground-colour and markings as in the <5 Antennae, head, thorax 

 and abdomen similar to those of the d .
