PI. XIII. f. 5. — The primary wings yellowish white, with many irregular black spots which vary in size, some 

 of them are so placed that they apparently form five bands across the wing, and the exterior margin is also black. 

 The secondary wings are also yellowish white, with a basal band and three irregular cvxrved bands of black spots ; 

 the second band from the base is broadest at the anterior angle, and marked with a small crimson spot ; while 

 that portion towards the anal angle is margined exteriorly by an irregular crimson band, which extends from the 

 angle to the second subcostal nervule ; the third or marginal band is ornamented on the deep black below the 

 crimson by a series of pale blue lunes. The caudal appendages are slender, of about one inch in length, the 

 base and apex j'ellovrish white, with the intermediate part black. 



The under surface of all the wings is less prominently marked ; otherwise they are similar to the upper side ; 

 except that on the primary wings there are two crimson spots, one on the band near the costal area, and the 

 other on the posterior margin. 



In Collection (Brit. Mus.) from Northern China.
