Bombay, September to November. Very common. 



Pure silvery white ; thorax with four or five chocolate-brown spots ; 

 head with a similarly coloured mark down its centre ; abdomen with 

 black segmental bands. "Wings with all the markings chocolate-brown 

 and very distinct ; fore wings with orbicular and reniform ringlets, 

 a subbasal incomplete double line, an antemedial line across both 

 wings, terminating on the costa, inside and close to the orbicular ; a 

 discal line on the fore wings, commencing on the costa, at one third 

 from the apex, straight across on to the outer margin near the hinder 

 angle ; it then curves inwardly, touching the bottom of the reniform 

 ringlet (which is large, and extends from this line nearly to the 

 costa), bends down and touches the hinder margin, at one third from 

 the angle, then curves inwardly again, keeping close to the margin, 

 and joins the antemedial line on the margin ; on the hind wing 

 there is also a similar discal line, which commences from the costa, 

 at one third from the apex, straight down to the outer margin, above 

 the anal angle, then curves upwards and inwards, and joins the 

 antemedial line, a little below its centre ; there is also a marginal hne 

 on both wings. Underside dull white, with the markings indistinct. 



A very beautiful little insect.

 with a duplex brown stripe across each segment. Wings pure white 

 marked with brown, the fore wings so thickly marked as to make

 bands, with reniform and orbicular brown spots, surrounded with 

 white, a medial patch of whitish, and brown lines, confused together 

 and impossible to describe, and a marginal white band. Hind wings 

 white, with an inner incomplete brown diffused band, followed by a 

 white line and a thin brown line, all so to speak making one band ; 

 an outer thin black line, followed by a white line, then a broad in- 

 complete brown band, these three also making one broad discal 

 band, the white space between the two bands with a brownish mark 

 in the centre. Both wings with marginal spots, and a white fringe. 

 Underside white, diffused with brownish in the centre of the fore 

 wings.
