streak left above and below the median vein ; terminal linos witliin the cell slender 

 and present in both sexes ; inner discal spot between the base of the middle and 

 lower median veinlets coalesced with the cell spot ; lower discal spots rounded, the 

 upper spots elongated and coalesced ; the anterior half of the costal border also 

 black ; submarginal biconical spots broad, with short dilated peduncles, the biconical 

 spots partially confluent, their peduncles completely coalesced with the marginal 

 spots, except that on the lower median veinlct. Hindu-iiuj with broad cell lines and 

 rounded spot, a curved series of eight oval discal spots, the lowest spot forming the 

 club-point to the streak between the lower median and submedian vein ; a small 

 round inner discal spot between the middle and lower median veinlets ; lower inner 

 discal spot absent; submarginal biconical spots with their outer bases confluent with 

 the marginal spots. Body and legs black, head and thorax spotted and striped with 

 white ; palpi in front and femora beneath white ; abdomen above black, sides and

Expanse, 4f to 5 inches. 



Habitat. — South Andamans. 



DiSTKiBCTiON.' — The type specimen of this species was obtained in the vicinity 

 of Port Blair by Colonel T. Cadell, the Chief Commissioner of the Andamans and 

 Nicobar Islands. The late Mr. F. A. de Roepstorff also collected it in the same 

 locality, in April. A large series of both sexes of this species collected by him, now 

 in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, " according to Mr. De Niceville (I.e. p. 29) show no 

 variation whatever from the type, except in one or two specimens having an 

 additional spot on the black streak in the interno-median area of the hindwing."

Imago. — Male and female. Wings pure white ; veins and markings deep black. 

 Foreiuing having the black costal base coalesced with the ordinary ceJl streaks and 

 its large broad spot, the three terminal lines from the latter to end of the cell 

 very slender but distinctly visible ; the base of the median and submedian veins 

 sharply black bordered, the club-shaped mark between the median and submedian 

 veins well defined and free except at its lower outer end ; two discal spots between 

 the middle and lower median veinlets, and a small outer lower discal spot beyond 

 the clavate mark ; beyond, the entire outer border is wholly black, the ordinary 

 submarginal and marginal markings forming one complete broad marginal band.
