to upper median branch, below which it is sinuated, and ends broadly at the 

 posterior angle ; the veins crossing the band are generally more distinctly black- 

 lined, and the extreme edge of the apex between the subcostals, and also their 

 cilia, is very slightly yellow. Einchving with the costal border glossy-white ; a 

 broad black continuous sinuous-edged outer marginal band. Underside paler yellow. 

 Both wings with the tip of all the veins black scaled ; cilia yellow. Foreiving with 

 the discocellular veinlet marked by a minute upper and lower black spot — which are 

 connected on each side of the veinlet by a less distinct slender line ; a glossy white 

 rounded appressed patch of scales extending from above submedian vein near base, 

 and below it to the extreme base. Hindwing sparsely indistinctly-irrorated with 

 minute dusky scales ; a cluster of these scales form an indistinct subapical spot, also 

 an upper and lower oblique discal sinuous fascia, and two minute black subbasal 

 spots between the costal and subcostal veins, one near base of cell and one between 

 base of median and submedian vein. 



Female. Upperside. Both wings duller yellow, and basally indistinctly irro- 

 rated with minute dusky scales ; the marginal bands paler. Forewing with similar- 

 shaped outer band. Eindiving with the outer band somewhat broader, its sinuous 

 inner-edge defined by scattered scales. Underside irrorated as in the male.

Intermediate form (fig. Ic, d, S , le, $). Male. Upperside similar to loet form. 

 Foreioing with the band slightly narrower and its inner-edge more acutely sinuated. 

 Hindwing also with the band narrower. Underside also similar, the markings, 

 except at the vein tips and discocellulars, less apparent. 



Female. Upperside. Forewing also with the band more acutely sinuated ; and 

 the band on the hindwing comparatively narrower. Upperside similar to the male. 



Expanse, c? ? Ij^q to lf\, inch. 



Dry-season form (fig. If, c?, Ig ?). Much smaller than intermediate form. 

 Male. Upperside. Both wings with the band narrower than in the intermediate 

 form. Underside with the markings slightly more distinct. Female. Upperside 

 similar to the intermediate form, except that the band on the hindwing is less defined 

 and somewhat macular. Underside similar to intermediate form.
