 bands of black spots. 



Underside. Pale brown-green two minute black spots and two large carmine 

 spots bordered with black within the cell ; crossed near the middle by a band of 

 very indistinct black spots and beyond the middle by a second band of black spots as 

 above. Posterior wing with several carmine spots ; one on the costal margin at its 

 base ill-defined, four near together before the middle bordered with black, a 

 transverse band at the middle of six or seven (the middle spots obscure) also bordered 

 with black above and below ; the margin of the abdominal fold and a spot at the anal

 transversely at the middle by a broad band of dull scarlet divided by black 

 nervures and bordered with black, deeply sinuated on its lower border between the 

 nervures ; a submarginal band of six round scarlet spots bordered with black 

 above. Underside as above, except that it is much paler, that there is a second 

 small black spot near the base, a spot of carmine between the black bands which 

 cross the cell and a second between the white spots which form the transverse band ; 

 the submarginal band of black spots more distinct, with between them and the 

 margin a band of grey-white. Posterior wing with the carmine spots as in tin-
