Male. Upperside white, the general markings as in the Wet-season form, but the 

 bands on both wings are reduced to almost half the width, the basal irrorations are 

 much less, the white spots in the outer band of the forewing are larger, and the costal 

 space up to the end of the cell is whitish irrorated with ochreous scales, and from 

 thence to the apical band is pure white, the outer band of the hindwing never reaches 

 the anal angle. Underside as in the Wet-season form, but the spots small.

 very pale and narrow, the spots obscure ; similar also on the underside, the spots 

 small, the lowest discal spot minute, the discal band of the hindwing obsolescent.
