discal band mncli shorter, reduced to tLree spots one eacli in the 

 discoidal and median interspaces and the recurved abdominal portion, 

 the black submarginal spot in the first median interspace not crowned 

 with orange. The two species are closely allied, but are, I believe, 

 distinct — at any rate the type specimens can be separated at a 

 glance.

Description : Male, Upperside, hoth wings black. Foreiving 

 with a thin white streak at the base of the costa ; a large creamy- 

 white patch occupying the basal three-fourths of the discoidal cell, 

 its outer end produced to a point ; a large patch occupying the 

 basal two-thirds of the interno-median interspace ; a discal series 

 of five more or less oval spots curving evenly round the outer end 

 of the cell, of which the anterior one is rather elongated and narrow, 

 the three following are equal-sized elongated ovals, the posterior one 

 in the first median interspace is the largest and occupies the base 

 of the interspace; the outer margin bears, one on each interspace 

 at its middle, a series of somewhat difi'used white spots. Eind- 

 iving has the veins on the basal half of the wing defined with white, 

 broadly margined on both sides with black ; the discoidal cell 

 almost entirely creamy -white ; there is a very narrow costal and a 

 wide subcostal streak, then five spots — one in each interspace — 

 beyond the cell,that in the second median interspace the smallest; two 

 elongated streaks in the submedian interspace, the inner one almost 

 reaching to the margin of the wing, the outer one reached to about 

 half way between the base of the wing and the margin ; two basal 

 white streaks occupying the whole of the interspaces divided by 

 the internal nervure ; marginal difi'used spots as in the forewing, 

 but each spot divided into two portions by the black iuternervular 

 fold. Underside, forewing differs from the uppei'side only in having 

 on the outer margin from the costa to the second median nervule 

 a decreasing series of duplicated white streaks, one pair iu
