Type in my collection. 



Nearly allied to //. turnen\ B-B., but th(! shape of the 

 subterininal line differs and it is white nut yellow, and there 

 is no spot in tho cell as in that species.

 and a still smaller subterminal one between veins 3 and 4. 

 Secondaries deep black with the whole of the central area 

 orange from the base, extending to the inner margin and
