posterior wings; beyond this band are three white dots towards 
the apex of the anterior wings, and one or two indistinct ones 
towards their anal angle, and on the posterior a series of seven 
whitish dots: anal angle rufous. The whole disc and inner mar- 
gin of the anterior wings, and the whole of the posterior, except 
the pure white part of the transverse band and the white dots, 
are in certain lights of the most splendid metallic hght blue. Be- 
low silvery white with pearly reflections, a faint indication of the 
band above ; the costa of the anterior wings except at the base, 
the outer margins of all the wings, a transverse band beyond the 
middle much widened towards the anal angle of the anterior 
wings, rufous. This band is marked at its widest part by a round 
black spot, and bordered there externally with two sublunulate 
black spots and a sagittate one. In addition to this are two small 
black spogs in the discoidal cell followed by two short black per- 
pendicular lines, below this is a black spot and two black lunules, 
and on the posterior wings a black dot near the anal angle, pre- 
ceded in the band by a similar one. 
Head fuscous ; the orbits of the eyes, the palpi below, and four

All the wings bright orange-red above, the anterior with a 
large spot on the disco-cellular nervure, followed by two small 
ill-defined ones on the lower discoidal nervule ; the outer margin 
broadly fuscous black, with famt mdications of four or five red- 
dish lunules ; this black border dilated towards the apex, much 
dentate internally, preceded by a broad zigzag striga, commencing 
near the anterior and extending nearly to the imner margin ; 
the median nervules each with a round fuscous spot before their 
middle. Posterior wings clothed at the base with long hairs; a 
discoidal spot, two lunulate bands, and the outer margin slightly 
fuscous. 
Below paler, all the wings marked at the base with some in-
