of cell, not near reaching margins; cilia as in forewings. 

 Underside : Forewings dlark fuscous ; markings of upper side 

 suffusedly reproduced; anterior half of cell blackish; a mode- 

 rately thick yellow costal streak from base to apex, at apex 

 becoming blotch-like and extending to above middle of termen, 

 within the blotch are 3 elongate blackish spots just beyond 

 the 3 yellow sub-costal spots, and* a series of 4 round 

 blackish spotsr along termen ; cilia as above. Hind- 

 wings yellow with blackish markings ; 2 roundish spots at 

 base ; 3 transverse series of elongate spots, first before, start- 

 ing from a very elongate spot on costa, tO' before middle of 

 inner margin ; second from beyond middle of costa to beyond 

 middle of inner margin; third along termen, the latter series 

 being roundish ; cilia as in forewings. 



The bright orange yellow markings of under side of hind- 

 wings in contradistinction to the other similarly marked species 

 makes this species eas}^ of recognition.
