$ Deep-red tinged ivith carmine; with Mack spots and hands. 

 Fore-iving : base suffused with deep-black ; in discoidal cell, three 

 black spots, — one round, tonching basal black, — another elongate 

 transversely, somewhat quadrate, a little beyond middle of cell, — the 

 third at extremity of cell, variable in thickness, slightly curved out- 

 wards ; three spots below cell, one touching median nervure, and more 

 or less included in the basal black, — another between median nervure 

 and its first nervule, — the third a little beyond the second, below first 

 median nervule ; a little beyond extremity of cell, a broad, oblique, 

 black band, directed towards middle of hind-margin, and extending to 

 second median nervule ; apical portion of wing, beyond this black band, 

 warm reddish-ochre ; apex rather widely bordered with black, which 

 narrows to a thin, hind-marginal edge on third or second median 

 nervule, where, suddenly widening again, its inner edge is united to 

 the extremity of the oblique band from costa, and it extends to anal 

 angle, containing two or three spots between nervules of the apical 

 ochre tint. Hind-iving : base broadly suffused with deep-black, con- 

 taining a thin cellular white spot ; touching the edge of which, in cell, 

 and about median nervure, is a clouding of tvhite scales, sometimes 

 large and conspicuous ; a small black spot at extremity of discoidal cell, 

 and beyond it a more or less interrupted transverse row of six or seven 

 rounded spots ; a broad, well-defined, black band bordering hind-margin, 

 slightly dentate on its inner edge, and sometimes containing four or 

 five very small inter-nervular reddish spots. Under side. — Black 

 markings much as on upper side, hut differing much in ground-colours; 

 surface generally glistening. Fore-wing : pale salmon-red ; black suffu- 

 sion at base faint, and only present below median nervure ; two black 

 spots on costa, close to base ; space between black costal stripe and 

 black-borclered apex whitish ; bordering this white oidwardly , and
