black markings : forewing : cell with a short, basal, transverse streak, a me- 

 dial, broad, oval loop, its outer margin waved ; a broad transverse streak 

 beyond cell not reaching the median nervure ; a broad streak along the 

 discocellulars ; a zigzag discal series of large spots angulated outwards in 

 interspace 4, inwardly in interspace 2, a minute spot at base of interspace 

 I ; a somewhat diffuse, large postdiscal spot in interspace 6 ; a post- 

 discal sinuous series of round spots, those in interspaces 1, 4 small ; an 

 inner subterminal, complete series of spots and an outer subterminal line, 

 widening on the veins and a terminal line. Hindwing, a basal, transverse, 

 obscure, narrow mark in cell, another above it in space 7, a transverse 

 lunule across middle of cell ; a small spot outwardly bordering the lower 

 discocellular ; a discal series of transverse spots in spaces 1-7, sinuous post- 

 eriorly ; a postdiscal series of five spots in spaces 2-6 ; a subterminal series 

 of somewhat lunular spots ; finally a narrow band on termen traversed 

 posteriorly by a series of blue, anteriorly by a series of ochraceous lunules. 

 Underside : forewing pale terra-cotta red, shading into ochraceous towards 

 the apex which is broadly suffused with that colour ; markings as on the 

 upperside with exceptions as : subcostal spot in space 6, upper two spots of 

 postdical series, upper four of inner subterminal series and the anterior 

 portions of the outer subterminal and terminal lines olivaceous brown ; the 

 upper two postdiscal spots centred white, with a white spot on each side ; 

 the upper four spots of the subterminal series touching, forming a short, 

 curved band. Hindwing variegated with ochraceous, olivaceous brown and 

 silvery-white markings, the last mostly narrowly margined outwardly by 

 short, black lines ; the veins clearly pale ochraceous ; the medial silvery 

 markings form a well marked, discal, sinuous series followed by a curved, 

 postdiscal series of five olivaceous, round spots ; each spot and the oliva- 

 ceous, quadrate patch near base of cell each with a minute white centre ; a 

 slender, black, subterminal line widening at veins, followed by an ochraceous, 

 narrow, lunular band and an outer, slender, black anticiliary line ; the sub- 

 terminal, black line margined inside by a series of slender, white lunules, 

 bordered inwardly by a series of broad, olivaceous brown markings in the 

 interspaces. Antennge brown above, ochraeous red beneath ; head, thorax 

 and abdomen olivescent tawny ; beneath, palpi, thorax and abdomen pale 

 ochraceous. Female. — Similar, differing from the male in that, on the upper- 

 side, the apical half of the forewing from about the middle of the costa to just 

 above the tornus is black, inwardly suffused with purple, crossed by a broad, 

 white band from costa to the subterminal series of black spots ; four 

 preapical white spots, the upper three bordering, on each side and above, 

 a very obscure ocellus, scarcely visible on the black back-ground ; an inner 

 and an outer subterminal, transverse series of slender white lunules. 

 Underside : forewing : markings similar to those on the upperside, but the 

 apex of the wing beyond the white band, ochraceous green. Hindwing as
