all the markings brighter and deeper in colour, the spots larger, the carmine band

Male. Upperside white. Forewing more acuminate than in Wet-season form, 

 costal line dark, apical patch bright carmine, the costal and outer black borders

 Forewing with the apical portion tinged with pale carmine, with a whorl of brown 

 spots with pale centres across its middle. Hindwing slightly tinged with pink, a

 with the carmine apical patch nearly as large as in the male, the outer band deeper, 

 the inner band scarcely indicated, the patch crossed by a whorl of black spots joined

 on the exterior margin. Underside. Forewing white, with the carmine apical patch 

 showing through the wing, the whorl of brown spots across its middle small, a dot at 

 the end of the cell. Hindwing generally tinted with pink, sometimes pure white, a 

 dot at the end of the cell, and a discal whorl of small brown spots. 



Female. Upperside white, suffused with grey scales on the basal portion. Fore-
