Imago. — Male. Upperside white. Forewing with the base and costa slightly 

 greyish-black scaled ; a black ajDical marginal band, which is deeply sinuous from 

 below the lower subcostal veinlet, a large discal spot between the upper aud middle 

 median veinlet, and faint traces of the lower spot of the underside between the 

 lower median and submedian vein. Hindiving with a more or less prominent black 

 large costal spot and a series of outer marginal spots. Underside. Foreiving white, 

 the apex pale olivescent-yellow ; base greyish-black scaled ; a black middle and 

 lower discal large spot, and a more or less apparent blackisli-sealed upper discal 

 spot. Hmclwing pale olivescent-j^ellow, more or less distinctly irrorated with minute 

 greyish-black scales — which are more densely packed along loAver half of the cell, 

 and also as forming the costal spot, sometimes these scales are more densely packed 

 aud border the veins to the outer margin ; base of the costa bright yellow. 



Female. Upperside white, in some specimens — but very rarely — pale yellowish- 

 white. Forewing with the base, including the cell area to near its end, more thickly 

 greyish-black scaled, the black apical marginal band more sharplj^ sinuous, the two 

 discal spots larger and prominent, the upper one sometimes coalesced to the angles 

 of outer band, the lower one joined to a streak below the submedian vein. Hindiving 

 with the basal area, including the cell, more or less irrorated with greyish-black 

 scales, some of these scales occasionally also forming a discal cluster between the 

 upper and middle median veinlet ; the black costal spot larger and extending below 

 the lower subcostal veinlet ; marginal spots larger. Underside similar to the male. 



Expanse, S In, to 2j^, ? 2 to 2^^ inches. 



Habitat. — North-West, Central, and Eastern Himalaj'as ; S. India; Assam; 

 Upper Burma ; Shan States ; China ; Hong Kong ; Hainan ; Formosa.
