with black fascijE, forming more or less incomplete lateral circular 
spots ; the ventral surface yellow, with two rows of black spots. The 
apical margin of the fore wings is but slightly convex, but the 
spotting of the abdomen indicates the specimen to be a female.

Habitat prope Tati. 
This species has the upper surface of the wings more richly 
coloured than any of the others captured by Mr. Gates, being of an 
orange-carmine colour, especially in the hind wings. The fore wings 
are marked half-way between the end of the discoidal cell and the tip 
of the wings with a square vitreous spot, through which runs a veinlet 
dividing it into two parts ; the base of the wings, especially in the 
hind parts, is irrorated with black scales ; the discoidal cell has a 
rather large oval black spot beyond its middle, followed by a smaller 
lunate one at the extremity of the cell ; beyond which is an oblique 
row of five conjoined black dots ; another round black spot is placed 
towards the base of the wing behind the median vein, and two other 
circular ones behind the extremity of the cell placed transversely ; 
the veins at the extremity of the wings are slenderly black : the 
hind wings are marked with about 10 minute black dots (varying, 
however, in size), and the hind margin of the wing is rather broadly 
edged with black. On the under side the fore wings are rosy coloured, 
with the spots of the upper side, including the vitreous spot, repro- 
duced : the hind wings are greyish buff, with the spaces between the 
veins varied with rosy at the base and along the anal margin, and with 
rich orange between the middle of the wing and the row of submar- 
ginal black lunules, which latter rest upon a narrow yellowish buff 
margin ; the spots on this side, about 17 in number, are distinct, ap- 
pearing partially ocellated. Body black, with rosy spots behind the 
eyes and on the sides of the chest, which is also spotted with pale 
buff; palpi orange, terminal joint black; legs orange, tarsi black; 
abdomen broken off. 
The unique specimen of this species collected by Mr. Oates has 
the abdomen mutilated, but the structure of the fore legs and the 
shape of the fore wings prove that it is a male individual.
