no. 768. 



Differs from indica in the first band of the fore wing being 

 antemedial and much more angled ; the postmedial band also much 

 more angled and joined by an oblique series of spots from the 

 apex ; the submarginal series confined to the area between veins 

 3 and 5. 



As in indica, the markings on the wings may be entirely 

 obsolete. In the well-marked males the shoulders are reddish 

 orange and black, the pectus and frons black ; whilst in the pale 

 forms the whole shoulder and pectus are yellow, and the palpi 

 fringed with yellow, the frons white. In the female there is no 

 yellow on shoulders or pectus.
