beneath, club yellow, apical half reddish, thorax and abdomen 

 clothed with long yellowish hairs, beneath yellowish. Legs- 

 yellow mixed with fuscous. Forewings elongate, moderate, 

 costa straight, termen gently bowed, olique ; darK fuscous, with 

 bright orange markings; a broad streak along costa from base 

 to middle, limited by intervening veins; interneural spaces 

 between posterior extremity of streak and apex filled in with 

 orange, and continued along vein 7 as a narrow streak to apex , 

 a cuneiform spot lying between base of veins 6 and 7 ; an out- 

 wardly oblique transverse series of 5 somewhat elongate- 

 quadrate spots horn, above inner margin at two-thirds, between 

 veins 1 and 6, upper smallest, excised posteriorly in middle ; 

 second smaller, immediately below ; third and fourth and fifth 

 similar, but larger, the whole five have the upper and lower 

 edges continued as a fine streak nearly to termen; not in 

 female ; cell filled in with orange, in female narrowly black in 

 middle to two-thirds ; a large cuneiform spot just below cell, 

 from base to stigma, not in female, but appears as a narrow 

 streak along vein 1 ; a narrow streak along inner margin from 

 base to two-thirds, separated from cuneiform spot by a streak 

 of ground color ; stigma moderately thick, oblique, somewhat 

 dentate anteriorly, and sometimes broken into 3 spots, from 

 vein 1 beyond middle to base of vein 4 ; greyish-fuscous, edged 

 on either side with black; cilia fuscous, around anal angle 

 orange. Hinclwings with termen distinctly sinuate above anal 

 angle ; color as in forewings ; basal hairs yellow ; lower two- 

 thirds of cell filled up with orange, only indicated by a 

 moderate spot in female, a submedian transverse band of 

 orange band from veins 1 to 6, intersected by veins, upper 

 edge irregular, lower edge excised between veins and continued 

 along vein 1 to termen ; a very narrow streak lying just above 

 vein 6, separated from transverse band by vein ; cilia yellow, 

 fuscous at base on upper two-thirds. Under side of forewings- 

 orange ; dorsal two-thirds except median third of termen 

 blackish ; markings of upper side, except stigma, reproduced ; 

 subcostal and transverse spots edged posteriorly with blackish 

 lunules; cilia as above. Hindwings beneath orange, greenish 

 tinged ; markings of upper side reproduced in orange and 

 edged above and below with blackish disconnected lunules ; 

 inner marginal area finely irrorated with blackish. 



Immediately known from the preceding by the broad stigma 

 and continuation of transverse streaks along veins towards 

 termen. The species has a fairly wide range, but the Aus- 

 tralian specimens do not differ from those taken in Calcutta.
