Wet-season brood. J . Upperside: gamboge-yellow. Fore wing: 

 apical third black, this colour extended along the costa in a 

 gradually narrowing line to the base ; the inner margin of the 

 black area irregular, oblique and sinuate from middle of costa to 

 vein 4, thence continued outwards along that vein for a short 

 distance and vertically downwards to vein 2, thence obliquely 

 outwards to the tornal angle ; the portion of the area between 

 veins 2 and 4 of even width, slightly produced angularly inwards 

 at veins 2 and 3 ; basal two-thirds of the wing irrorated with 

 black scales, most dense at extreme base ; a single linear black 

 speck on the discocellulars. Hind wing : terminal margin with an 

 even black band and a dusting of black scales from base to tornal 

 angle, parallel with but not extended to the dorsum, nor spreading 

 on to the disc ; a small patch of salmon-coloured scales at base of 

 interspace 7. Cilia of both fore and hind wings pale yellow. 

 Underside: ground-colour similar but somewhat duller ; both fore 

 and hind wings evenly but hparingly dusted with black scales, which 

 do riot extend to the cell, disc, or dorsal margin of the fore wing; 

 the last paler yellow with a patch of salmon-coloured scales below 

 the median vein in interspace 2 ; a linear speck on the disco-
