^ Pale-red, inclining to ochreous, semi-transparent, with blackish 

 spots ; apical region of fore-wing transparent ashy-grey. Fore-iving : 

 red, ill-defined exteriorly, but extending to beyond discoidal cell, and 

 thence obliquely to posterior angle and hind-margin near it ; a large 

 spot in discoidal cell, immediately above origin of first median nervule ; 

 a large elongate curved spot on nervules closing cell ; below, and in a 

 transverse line with this latter spot, two rather large spots, one above, the 

 other below, first median nervule ; a little beyond end of cell, a subcostal, 

 oblique row of three or four small spots (often indistinct or almost 

 obsolete) ; below median nervure, not far from base, a very small spot 

 (sometimes all but obsolete) ; close to apex, a faint ill-defined reddish 

 curved transverse ray reaching to upper radial nervule. Hind-wing : 

 all pale-red ; base narrowly suffused with blackish ; two moderately- 

 sized spots in discoidal cell ; two on closing nervules of cell ; one above 

 it ; two below it, confluent with basal blackish ; a strongly -curved 

 irregular discal transverse row of eight spots, of which the first and 

 sixth are larger and nearer base than the rest, extending from costa to 

 inner-margin ; a rather narrow fuscous hind-marginal border, with its 

 inner edge regularly dentating the ground-colour between nervules, 

 completely enclosing five or six small inter-nervular spots of the ground- 

 colour, between costa and first median nervule. 



Under side. — Paler; markings of fore- wing only faintly visible; 

 hind-wing creamy-whitish, varied with rufous, the markings con-
