d . Pure white ; palpi black ; collar and tegulae with narrow 

 Crimson bands ; a small spot on vertex of thorax. Fore wing with 

 a basal crimson spot on costa ; a narrow obliquely curved ante- 

 medial band, the costa crimson from the base to the band ; a 

 postmedial curved narrow band ; a black spot towards end of cell 

 and one in each angle, the two latter being conjoined into a streak 

 in one specimen ; the costal fold on underside ochreous or pink. 



$ . Without the crimson streak on base of costa ; the lower black 

 spot at origin of vein 3 instead of at angle of cell ; the postmedial 

 band angulated as well as curved ; in some specimens the black 

 spots are reduced to specks, one specimen having the spot at 

 upper angle of cell only.

 in adita they are crimson. The variety walkeri, Elwes (male 

 unknown), from Sikhim, has a crimson band on metathorax, the 

 bands of fore wing broader, the postmedial band doubly curved 

 instead of angled, the black spots large, and the subbasal baud 

 more complete.
