Imago. — Male and female. Fureunng elongated, somewhat narrow and 

 triangulate ; costa very gradually arched, apex rounded, exterior margin very 

 oblique and slightly convex, posterior margin short. Upperside black. Foreiving 

 with the cell crossed by four slender white bars at equal distances apart, and with a 

 fifth similar bar beyond the cell ; the first and second bar continued in wavy 

 scalloped lines to the posterior margin, the third and fourth with a small white 

 partly-attached loop or circlet below the cell, a similar loop also below the fifth bar ; 

 followed by two transverse medial-discal inwardly-oblique slender white-speckled 

 scalloped lines, and then a submarginal more distinct and even scalloped line ; the 

 outer veinlets also longitudinally slightly speckled with white scales. Cilia white. 

 Hindicing black, elongated, lobate ; anterior margin very long, oblique ; exterior 

 margin very convex, anteriorly dentated, and with three lengthened naiTow tails 

 from the median veinlets, the outer one longest ; abdominal margin very long, 

 incurved posteriorly and longitudinally grooved along inner edge of the submediaii 

 vein ; veins from the base to the disc white lined ; a slender white line also extending 

 along edge of the submedian groove ; an outwardly-oblique white line from the costa 

 to lower median veinlet, two broken lines from the costa to the lower radial, and 

 three outer less-defined speckled white lunular lines, the two inner being conically- 

 looped below end of the cell and from thence extending to the submedian vein ; the 

 inner-discal area from the radial occupied by a lai'ge broad deep crimson sinuous- 

 edged patch, followed by a lower intense purple-black patch bearing two large 

 ill-defined purplish-grey speckled spots edged inwardly with white scales ; beyond 

 which is a marginal series of five ochreous-yellow lunules, the two upper being 

 narrow and palest, the vein along the tails being also lined with ochreous scales. 

 Cilia greyish-wdiite. Underside of both wnngs similar to the upperside, but with the 

 white lines slightly broader. On the hindwing the crimson patch is paler, the 

 mararinal ochreous lunules broader, and between the latter and the extreme outer 

 edge is a slender grey lunule ; a slender white subbasal cross curved-bar and two 

 longitudinal fine lines within the cell, and an oblique cross-bar from near base of the 

 lower median veinlet to the submedian ; the groove line is also present. Body black ; 

 thorax laterally edged with grey hairs ; abdomen with two lateral slender white
