 banded with ochreous, fore femora with orange patches on inner 

 side ; abdomen blue -black with lateral orange stripes, the ventral 

 surface ochreous white with sublateral black points and ventral 

 stripe. Fore wing ochreous white, with subbasal series of grey-

 on costa and another in cell; a medial series of large quadrate spots 

 slightly angled on median nervure; seven small spots in and beyond 

 end of cell, with spot above them on costa ; a postmedial series of 

 small linear spots from vein 5 to inner margin, angled at vein 5, 

 then incurved ; a subterminal series of large spots, the spot above 

 vein 3 elongate, the one below it wedge-shaped and the spot above 

 vein 4 linear ; a terminal series of strioe, those towards apex short 

 streaks. Hind wing semihyaline yellowish white, the inner area 

 clothed with orange hair ; a fuscous point on the lobe at tornus, 

 which is slightly produced. 



2 , Fore wing sometimes with complete antemedial series of 

 small linear spots angled on median nervure ; hind wing ochreous,
