J . Upperside : white, sparsely irrorated at base of fore and hind 

 wings with black scales. Fore wing : a small black spot on the 

 discocellulars ; apex broadly black, with an enclosed oval, curved, 

 rich orange patch placed obliquely and traversed by the veins, 

 which there are black ; inner edge of black area diffuse. Hind 

 wing : uniform, except for a preapical short diffuse black streak 

 from the costa, sometimes absent, and a series of terminal black 

 spots that in specimens from moist localities are very large. 

 Underside : white ; cell and apex of fore wing suffused with 

 sulphur-yellow, the orange patch of the upperside shows through 

 by transparency, its inner edge margined anteriorly by a very 

 obscure oblique fuscous fascia. Hind wing : the preapical short 

 transverse black streak on the upperside obscurely indicated. 

 $ . Very similar to the d 1 . Can be distinguished as follows : 

 Upperside, fore wing : orange patch enclosed within the black 

 apical area, narrower ; a small black spot in middle of interspace 1 

 and another in interspace 3. Hind wing : the terminal spots 

 slightly larger. Underside : apex of fore and whole surface of 

 hind wing suffused lightly, or in specimens from very dry localities 

 heavily, with ochraceous. Fore wing : spots in interspaces 1 and 

 3 as on the upperside. Hind wing : a curved, almost complete, 

 discal series of fuscous spots ; otherwise as in the J . In both 

 sexes the antennae vary from white to pale brownish ; head, thorax 

 and abdomen black, the head and thorax with short greyish-brown 

 hairs ; beneath : the palpi, thorax and abdomen white.
