These spots are bluish white. There are a few pale fulvous 

 hairs at the end of the abdomen. The lcf,'s are black, marked 

 with white. The tore wings are deep black, with the fringe 

 at the extreme apex white. Tliere are a few pale blue spots 

 at the base of the wing and one of the same colour at the end 

 of the cell. There are nine dark lemon-yellow spots on the 

 fore wing, as follows : — a brtiad suhapical spot, partly sub- 

 divided internally by the nervules, which are marked by 

 black scales on the side of the spot toward the base of the 

 wing; a large subquadrate spot near the end of the cell; 

 another larger irregularly shaped spot between veins 1 and 2 

 immediately below the subquadrate spot last mentioned, and 

 separated from it only by the black line of the median vein ; 

 beyond this spot, toward the anal angle, is a small sub- 

 quadrate spot ; toward the base on the lower margin of the 



cell a small triangular spot ; just below it another equally 

 small or smaller spot; on the uppersideof vein 1, not halfway 

 from the base, a moderately large subtriangular spot ; two 

 smaller spots nearer the base on the upperside of vein 1 ; on 

 the inner margin about the middle a large spot. The hind 

 wings are dark lemon-yellow, broadly bordered with black. 

 On the inner margin, which is densely clothed with long 

 brownish hair, the black border is diffuse, while on the outer 

 margin it is boldly and sharply defined on the inner edge. 

 Between veins 2 and 4 the outer margin is somewhat strongly 

 produced inwardly. The fringes of the secondaries on the 

 upperside are black, except at the outer angle, where they 

 are conspicuously wliite. 



On the underside the markings are, In the main, as on the
