black. There are two translucent spots at the end of the cell, the 

 upper small, the lower linear, fused wilh each other. There are 

 tw o translucent wedge-shaped spots on intervals 2 and 3 on either 

 side of vein 3 at its origin, and there are three translucent sub- 

 apical spots in the usual position, the lower one the largest and 

 elongated, the two upper ones inclined to obsolescence. These 

 translucent spots are only visible when the specimens are held up 

 to the light. The secondaries are bright rufous, like the primaries, 

 with the costa very broadly, and the outer margin more narrowly 

 bordered with black. A. long black ray runs from the base to the 

 outer margin before the anal angle. There is a wedge-shaped 

 translucent spot at the end of the cell near its lower edge, and 

 two similar spots on either side of vein 3 at its origin. Tliese 

 spots, like those in the primaries, are only visible when the 

 specimen is held up to the light. On the underside the primaries 

 are dull reddish fuscous, with a pale yellow suffused spot on the 

 inner margin about the middle. A black elongated spot extends 

 from the base outwardly on the ceil as far as the inner margin of 

 the translucent spots. These spots are defined outwardly beyond 

 the cell by broad black markings. Near the apex, on the inter- 

 costal interspaces, there is a series of submarginal fuscous 

 markings, and the margin is defined by a line marginal line. The 

 cilia are fuscous. On the underside of the secondaries the 

 prevalent colour is fuscous ochraceous, the translucent spots 

 being distinctly defined on this side, and having a reddish waxy 

 coloia-. There is a curved series of black submarginal markings 

 extending round the wing, the spots below the costal margin 

 being most conspicuous. There is also a series of small marginal 

 black spots, and a tine black marginal line. The anal angle is 

 touched with dark brown. The black ray running from the base 

 to the outer margin is obscurely indicated on the lower side and 

 interrupted before the anal angle by a blackish annulus, pupilled 

 with pale yellow. 



5 . The antennjB, palpi, and body are marked as in the male, 

 but the underside of the body is paler, the lower side of the palpi 

 and the end of the abdomen on the underside being very pale 

 straw-yellow. The primaries on the upperside are black, clothed 

 with greenish scales <at the base, along the costa, and the inner 

 margin. The translucent spots in the primaries are bright yellow, 

 standing out conspicuously upon the black ground-colour. The 

 secondaries are marked as in the male, but the black border of the 

 costa is broader and blacker, and the light portions of the wing 

 are bright straw-yellow instead of rufous. The cilia on the upper- 

 side at the inner angle both of the primaries and secondaries are 

 whitish. On the underside the ground-colour is bright yellow- 

 ochraceous, with all the black markings as in the male, but broader 

 and more clearly defined upon the pale ground-colour. The spots 

 on the secondaries, which are prevalently bright yellow-ochraceous, 

 are very sharply deliued. The black ray on the secondaries 

 running from the base to the inner angle is replaced by three
