 1 Dull red-ochre, with white-spotted black margins. Fore-ioing : costa 

 with a narrow black edging as far as extremity of discoidal cell, where 

 the black suddenly widens, covering apical portion of wing, and 

 narrowing again to anal angle, — the inner edge of the black is 

 irregularly excavate ; on costa, before middle, almost invariably an 

 elongate, small, white mark ; followed, a little farther on, by a similar, 

 rather larger mark, immediately above extremity of discoidal cell, 

 where there is generally a small, rounded white spot ; beyond these, an 

 oblique row of six more or less closely- connected, somewhat quadrate, 

 white spots, extends from costa to bend of hind-margin, meeting a 

 hind-marginal row of from four to sis small white spots, situate close 

 to hind-margin's edge, about its middle ; two white spots at apex, the 

 outer one close to commencement of hind-margin ; above these two 

 spots, and a little before them, are sometimes two minute white dots ; 

 almost always a rounded white spot between third and second median 

 nervules, close to the junction of red and black ; and between the same 

 nervules, immediately beneath the sixth spot of the oblique row, a 

 similar, rather smaller spot ; cilia conspicuously black and white 

 chequered. Hind-ioing : rather paler than fore-wing ; three ill-defined 

 black spots on upper side of discoidal cell, — the largest spot occupying 

 extremity of cell ; on costa, beyond middle, a narrow blackish mark, 

 relieved with white on either side, connected by a black line with a 

 moderately broad, inwardly much excavate, black hind-marginal bor- 

 der, sometimes containing a few white dots near anal angle, more 

 rarely a few near apex, sometimes wholly spotless ; ^ badge black ; cilia 

 as in fore-wing. Under side. — White markings generally like those 

 on upper side ; apex of fore-wing (beyond oblique white band) and 

 whole of hind-wing, soft, creamy, ochre-yelloio. Fore-iving : red darker 

 than on upper side near costa, paler near inner margin ; black colour- 

 ing within the oblique white band as on upper side; a hind-marginal 

 narrow black band from apex, containing a conspicuous outer row of 

 white spots throughout, and an inner row of smaller spots only bor- 

 dering the apical yellow. Hind-wing: base black, containing three 

 white spots ; nervures and black markings all relieved by a white or 

 whitish edging; costal spot broader than on upper side, with a con- 

 spicuous, white, black-tipped spot on each side of it ; before it, on costa, 

 a narrower, less conspicuous, but similar, black and white marking ; 

 hind-marginal band marked throughout with large and conspicuous 

 white spots, arranged in pairs between nervules ; spots bordering
