linear, the second and t'ourtli the largest, the latter bcinc; con- 

 cave on its outer edge, the third an<l Htth smaller, the sixth 

 the smallest ; the apex beyond this row is dusted with a few 

 prey scales, and there are rays of grey scales in the cell. 

 Posterior wings with a large greenish-white j)atch across the 

 disk anil the outer fourth of the cell, tliat part which lies 

 above the upper subcostal nervule not extending inwardly 

 towards the base, as in other species of this group ; the outer 

 edge of the white patch is emarginatc and somewhat concave 

 between the veins. Incisions in Ijoth wings narrowly white. 

 Underside. Anterior wings brown-black, with the curved 

 row of spots towards the apex as on the uppersidc, but larger, 

 between which and the apex is a series of rays of greyish - 

 brown scales between the veins. Posterior wings black, with 

 a subniarginal row of seven rufous-brown spots, crossing the 

 wings t'roni below the costa to the anal angle, the first, sixth, 

 and seventh spots being the largest; inside the row of spots 

 are a tew patches of blue scales, those towards the anal angle 

 being the most conspicuous. Incisions on the posterior wings 

 broader and more conspicuous than on the upperside. 



Female. — Both wings dusky brownish grey, dusted with 

 brown scales. Anterior wings crossed from the costa, a 

 littk' beyond its middle, to near the outer angle by a curved 

 row of white spots, dusted on each side with grey scales and 

 divided by the veins, those at the end of the cell, which they 

 slightly invade, the most elongate, thence gradually dimin- 

 ishing towards the outer angle. Posterior wings with a large 

 white patch, the upper part of which is bounded by the upper 

 subcostal nervule, crossing the outer third of the cell and 

 extending downwards along the subinedian nervure, with 

 some grey scales between that nervure and the inner margin, 

 the outer edge of the white patch radiates between the veins 

 and is clearly defined ; a rufous subquadrate spot above the 

 anal angle, followed by another between the two lowest 

 median nervules. Incisions narrowly white. 



Underside as above. On the anterior wings the curved 

 row of white spots is more distinct and invades the end of the 

 cell, which is broadly and irregularly marked with black. 

 On the posterior wings the white patch extends nearly to the 

 inner margin, there is a submarginal row of rufous bars 

 between the veins, the spot above the anal angle is larger 

 than on the upperside, and there are clusters of blue scales 

 in the interspaces of the median nervules outside the white 

 patch. Incisions more broadly white tiian on the upperside. 

 Expanse of wings, c? 4, ? 4| inches.
