Antenna smoky brown, the basal joint white externally. Palpi porrect, 

 very slightly recurved ; smoky blackish. Head black, with a median 

 white streak ; face blackish, the eyes margined with white. Thorax golden 

 orange ; underside golden orange, with two white spots on each side, the

 and hindwings golden orange, the outer half of the forewings shining 

 purple, the outer half of the hindwings black ; 'on the forewings are from 

 six to ten pure white spots of varying shapes and sizes, also varying 

 somewhat in position ; of these the most conspicuous is a round spot just 

 above the middle of the basal orange space ; a round or elongate spot, 

 larger than the preceding, scarcely before the middle of the wing at the 

 termination of the orange space ; a much larger and more conspicuous 

 spot following it on the middle of the purple space this spot varies in 

 shape and is sometimes almost quadrate ; above and beyond it on the 

 purple space are from four to six smaller spots, three in a longitudinal 

 series half-way between it and the costa, and one or two beyond and 

 below them between it and the apex ; cilia steel-grey, darker about the 

 tornus, almost white at the apex ; the cilia of the hindwings correspond 

 in colour with the pale basal and dark apical half: underside, cor- 

 responding with the upper side in colour, the white spots not showing 

 through ; on the forewings a whitish shade extends along the dorsum and 

 the ends of the cilia at the apex of the wings are white. Exp. al. 31-33
