the costa, thickening hindwards, and ending in a round blunt form with a small brown 

 spot below it. Hindwing with five transverse bands, at nearly equal distances apart, 

 the first narrow, commencing with three basal spots, and a streak down and near the 

 abdominal margin, its lower end curved outwards and joining the lower end of the 

 middle band, the second band made up of two spots touching each other and a lower 

 disconnected long spot outwardly oblique, a middle band of four conjoined spots, the 

 lowest curved inwards to meet the basal band, a post-medial short band from the costa 

 to vein 4, and a sub-marginal recurved band, which is acutely bent inwards at its 

 lower end and runs in a narrow form to the abdominal margin a third above the anal 

 angle ; both wings with a row of sub-marginal black lunules, a black marginal line, the 

 space between them pale pink. Antennae black, with white segmental dots, club with 

 a red tip ; frons white, with a black middle stripe ; head and body above and below 

 concolorous with the wings. 



Female, like the male above and below, except that the fulvous ground colour on 

 the upperside is clearer and brighter on the upper part of the forewing and the disc of 

 the hindwing and the bands on the underside are somewhat broader. 



Expanse of wings, $ ly*o, ? 1-/q inches. 



Dry-season Brood (Figs. 2c, $, 2d, $, 2e, ?). 



Male. Upperside orange-red, bands greyish-brown, the base of both wings su3"used 

 with brownish-grey. Forewing with a narrow costal band which is attenuated towards 

 the apex, a transverse indistinct ante-medial band, nearly straight, touches the costal 

 band, but does not reach the hinder margin, a band of three spots more or less touching 

 each other in different examples from the costal band a little beyond its middle, to 

 near the hinder margin below the lower end of the sub-marginal band which is uniform 

 and reaches vein 2, a pale yellowish space near the apex of the wing in which there is 

 a sub-apical spot attached to the costal band and two conjoined spots in the next 

 two lower interspaces between it and the middle band. Hindwing with the basal 

 suff"usion extended broadly along the upper portion of the wing, two somewhat 

 indistinct straight bands from the costa to vein 4, medial and discal, a sub-marginal 

 band attenuated and macular hindwards ending at vein 2, anal lobe brown on a whitish 

 ground ; tails brown, short as in the other form and tipped with white ; both wings 

 with brown, narrow marginal band, macular on the lower half of the hindwing, 

 marginal line finely blackish. Cilia white. Underside as in the other form. 



Female like the male above and below, generally much larger, and the bands 

 broader. 



Expanse of wings, $ l-^^ to 1 1%, $ ly-^ to l-j^ inches.
