1. DANAIS INUNCTA. 
Upperside. Front wings greasy white, semitransparent, yellow 
clouded with olivaceous at the base ; anterior margin rich brown, en- 
closing two elongate white spots, one before and one beyond the end 
of the cell; hind margin rich brown, deeply sinuated and dentated, 
enclosing four white spots near the apex, between the nervules, the 
last one just before the first median nervule ; three small white spots 
close to the edge, one between the first and second, and the other 
two between the second and third median nervules ; a large quadrate 
white spot and asmall marginal spot between the third median ner- 
vule and the submedian nervure ; all the nervures brown. Posterior 
wings white, basal half greasy white, base yellow; nervures brown, 
from the anterior margin to the first median nervule connected by a 
broad, irregular, rich-brown transverse band which runs into the 
hind margin; hind margin rich brown, sinuated on its inner edge

oblique, glaucous, elongate-triangular patch close to the base, its 
point touching the interior margin; a second similar larger patch 
crossing the centre of the cell, two converging narrow oblique lines, 
apparently closing the cell, uniting into a single line beneath it, and
