Wet-aeason brood (Phie 381, fig. 1, larva ; la, b, (^ ; Ic, d, e, f, g, ? ). 



lM.\no. — Male. Upperside bright ferrugiuous ; cilia black alternated with 

 ■white. Forewing with black broad costal border extending to near the apex, and a 

 very slender exterior marginal band, the inflated costal vein sometimes being 

 ferruginous ; two black short broad bars across the cell and another at its end, the 

 middle being curved and extended below to the median vein ; a transverse discal 

 increasingly broad much angulated black band, its lower inner-portion being carved 

 upward to base of lower median veinlet; a submarginal sinuous broad curved band 

 narrowing anteriorly and obsolescent or entirely absent between the radial and lower 

 subcostal, its outer-edge also extending along the veins to the outer margin and thus 

 enclosing a row of broad spots of the ground colour, of which the four lower are 

 conical and the upper are elongated. Hindaing with two basal transverse confluent 

 rows of black rounded spots, a discal row of small separated spots of which the 

 upper two are broadly confluent with the inner series ; followed by a submarginal 

 black broad sinuous band, the points of its outer edge extending along the veins to 

 outer margin and thus enclosing a row of conical spots of the ground-colour ; across 

 the medial discal area the shade of the black line of the underside is obscurely 

 apparent. Underside. Both wings paler ferruginous. Forewing with black markings, 

 as above ; the cell and upper discal streaks being edged with bluish-white; befoi-e the 

 apex is a row of pale yellowish-white spots, and the narrow black outer margin is 

 traversed by a slender bluish-white line. Hindwhig crossed by a subbasal and a discal 

 white or pole yellowish-white band, the former being inwardly bordered by a row of 

 black round spots and outwardly by a black sinuous broken line ; the discal band also 

 being inwardly bordered by a sinuously-disposed row of black irregular-shaped spots, 

 and outwardly by a slender black wavy line ; between the bands is a black slender 

 discocellular streak and a small round spot above it, both being edged with white; 

 bevond is a submarginal narrow black sinuous band enclosing a row of small bluish- 

 white dentate spots placed in obliquely opposed pairs in each interspace ; the latter
