from near the costa, a larger spot below these, before the niiilille of interspace 4, 

 a similar spot inwardly obliquely near the base of the second median interspace, and 

 the lowest the largest in the first median interspace, immediately below the base 

 of vein 3. Hindicing with a very large anal white patch, occupying quite a fourth of 

 the wing, its inner margin very irregular. Cilia of forewing brown, of hindwing white, 

 with a brown base becoming pure white outside the anal patch. Underside. Forewing 

 with the middle portion, from vein 2 to the upper margin of the cell, blackish, the 

 costa, apex (broadly) and the hinder margins paler and somewhat rufous-tinted ; the 

 outer marginal line blackisii, spots as on the upperside. Hindicing with the costal 

 space down to the upper margin of cell, and vein 6 rufous-lirowu, the rest of the wing 

 pure white, a suffused blackish spot at the base of the first median interspace, some- 

 times obscure, sometimes absent, and a black marginal band, divided by the white 

 veins into spear-shaped spots, one in each of the interspaces, down to interspace 1. 

 Cilia of forewing grey, of hindwing pure white. Antennje black, whitish beneath ; 

 palpi, head and body above blackish-brown, white beneath, the abdomen ochreous. 



Female like the male, but paler in colour, more brown ; on the forewing there is a 

 small, sometimes very obscure white spot against the upper side of the sub-median 

 vein in continuation of the discal series, and on the underside there is a whitish patch 

 against the middle of the outer margin. 



Expanse of wings, J 1^ to l-i%, ? lyu ^^ 2 inches.
