160 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY. 



into the wings ; the first costal narrow, the second and third 

 broader, parallel, the second running from the base of the inner- 

 margin, and the third parallel to it below, and separated from 

 it by a red band; the fourth broader than above, and covering 

 the lower half of the hind-margin to the anal angle ; the ner- 

 vures above it are also expanded into blackish triangular spots 

 on the margin. The female is black, tawny, and yellow. On 

 the fore-wings the lower part of the cell is tawny, separated from 

 the costa by a black band, expanding at the end, and from 

 the tawny lower part of the wing by a black band running from 

 the base, and curving round as far as the outer half of the inner- 

 margin ; this again is separated from the black apex by a broad 

 irregular yellow band, running somewhat obliquely from the 

 costa. The hind-wings are tawny, with the costa narrowly, 

 and the hind-margin broadly, black ; between them is a short 

 black streak. The fore-wings are coloured beneath nearly as 

 above, but are paler, and the black markings are less extensive; 

 the hind-wings are coloured nearly as in the male, but the pale 

 portion of the wing is more strongly tinged with yellow, and 

 the hind-margin is broadly bordered with black, as on the 

 upper side of the female.

Antennae moderately long, with flattened club ; palpi long, 

 slender, hairy beneath ; sub-costal nervure three-branched, the 

 first two branches emitted before the end of the cell. Wings 

 ample, delicate, of a silky white or yellow (often more or less 

 orange at the base) with round black spots at the ends of the
