kind permission to describe the species given me by Professor

black, with the larger spots yellow (distinctly pale Nap)hs 

 i/elloiv), and the smaller spots at the base iridescent greenish 

 yellow. The fringes of the primaries are white at the apex 

 and of the secondaries white throughout. The secondaries

 but the light-coloured portions of the secondaries are distinctly 

 of a reddish-ochveous cast.
