Male and Female. Fore wing short, broad, trigonate ; costa convex 

 at base, apex moderately acute, exterior margin slightly oblique and 

 recurved, posterior margin nearly straight, angle acute ; cell broad, 

 short ; subcostal vein four-branched, first, second, and third arising 

 before end of the cell, fourth at its end ; discocellulars slightly curved 

 outward ; radial from their middle ; median vein three-branched, two 

 upper contiguous at base from end of the cell : hind wing elongated 

 posteriorly, narrow and quadrate below anal margin ; with two narrow 

 lengthened tails, one at each angle ; exterior margin slightly waved. 

 Body moderate ; antennae stout, uniformly thickened to apex ; palpi 

 long, squamous, second joint projecting half its length beyond the 

 head, apical joint slender ; legs squamous, femora slightly pilose

Differs from Deudorix (D. melampus {jarbas, Fabr.) and D. epi- 

 jarbas) in its shorter and broader fore wings and longer hind wings, 

 the fore wings having only four subcostal branches (there being five 

 in both the above species), and in the antennae being more robust.

Male and Female. Upperside deep scarlet-vermilion : fore wing 

 with the base, costal and the outer border broadly black, confining 

 the red colour to a circular area ; veins also black-lined, the median 

 prominently so and forming a slight streak at the base of its branches : 

 hind wing black at the extreme base, along abdominal border and 

 slightly along median veins ; exterior border narrowly black, some 

 black speckles ascending between lower median branch and submedian 

 vein ; tails red, black-margined and white-tipped in female. Underside 

 luteous-yellow in male, ochreous-yellow in female : both wings with 

 indistinct dusky discal zigzag-lunular line terminating above anal angle 

 in a white-speckled patch : fringe of hind wing black, the margin 

 also black-lined from the angle ; space above the tails black- and 

 white-speckled. Body beneath, legs, and palpi white, speckled with

 of fore wing with broader outer baud, the red colour suffused with 

 dusky-brown ; hind wing also duller red. Underside dull sulphur-
