ecus, chequered witii ochreous-white. Hiiidwings witL.- 

 termen roimded in female, anal angle in male somewhat pro- 

 minent; color as in fore wings, but somewhat darker; basal 

 hairs yellow ; a large, broad orange-yellow transverse median 

 patch, somewhat narrowed in male, not near reaching costa or 

 inner margin, upper edge irregular, posterior hardly straight ; 

 cilia as in forewings. Under side of forewings diark fuscous, 

 lighter towards apical third; markings of upper side, except 

 stigma, reproduced ; costa yellowish-white, spotted with fusr- 

 cous on posterior half ; inner margin yelloM ish-white, broadest 

 in middle ; cilia as above, but more pronounced. Hind-WiUgs 

 reddish-fuscous ; markings ochreous-white ; basal third of costa 

 ochreous-white ; a moderately broad band from costa near apex 

 to middle of inner margin, separated into four spots, first and 

 second confluent extending to middle of disc, third and' fourth 

 elongate, fourth on inner margin; a black spot in band near 

 costa ; a parallel band of about 3 or 4 roundish spots from inner 

 margin above anal angle to below apex ; cilia as in forewings. 



Allied to Ornata, but the lesser number of spots of forewings^ 

 and especially by the arrangement of the markings of under 

 side of hindwings, this species is at once recognised ; it is the- 

 finest yet described.
