the apical area (in Inter-diy examples) sometimes faintly speckled with indistinct 

 strigse ; a large black discocellular spot with white central dot, faint traces of 

 transverse discal dusky spots, ending in a blackish patch at the posterior angle. 

 Hmdicing with a small dusky discocellular spot, and sometimes faint traces of 

 outwardly-disposed strigse. 



Female. Upperside pale yellowish-white. Forewing with the ochreous-red 

 .subapical fascia narrow and broadly broken at upper and middle median vein, its black 

 inner border blacker than in the male and the basal costal margin broadly grey-black. 

 Hiadwhig with the marginal band also broad. Underside somewhat darker yellow 

 than in the male, the strigse more distinct. Forewing with larger blackish discocellular 

 spot, more defined transverse discal spots, and patch at posterior angle. Hlndwing 

 with the discocellular spot slightly larger, and with slightly-defined transverse discal 

 pale-centred spots, these latter sometimes being more distinct. 



Expanse, <? $ 2| to 3| inches. 



Dry-season Brood (Plate 586, figs. Ic, Id, $ ?). 



Male. Upperside pale yellowish-white. Forewing with the black inner border 

 of the ochreous-red subapical fascia narrower than in the male of the Wet-season form. 

 Hindicing with the marginal band also much narrower. Underside brighter yellow. 

 Forewing with the outwardly-disposed strigse more distinct, the discocellular spot 

 and the transverse discal spots white-centred, the posterior patch also more developed, 

 but the patch is smaller. Hindwing sparsely flecked throughout with delicate 

 strigse ; discocellular spot small and distinct ; a transverse discal series of blackish 

 spots, the upper four being large and white-centred. 



Female. Upperside pale yellowish-white. Forewing with the ochreous-red 

 sub-apical fascia similar to that in the Wet-season form, its inner black border much 

 narrower throughout. Hindwing with the marginal band somewhat narrower than it 

 is in the male. Underside similar to the male. 



Expanse, ^ $ 2| to 2^ inches. 



Extreme Dry-season Brood (Plate 586, figs, le, if, Ig, ^ ?). 



Male. Upperside pale yellowish-white. Forewing with the inner border of the 

 sub-apical fascia somewhat narrower than in the ordinary Dry-season form. Hindwing 

 with the marginal band also somewhat narrower. Underside similar, except that the 

 markings are less developed. 



Female. Upperside yellowish- white. Forewing with the ochreous-red subapical 

 fascia entire, not being broken at the median vein, its inner black border much 

 narrower throughout, the upper portion composed of an oblique straight bar, and the 

 medial portion edged by a few black scales, the basal costal area narro-wer than in the
