Wet-season Brood (Figs. 1, $, la, $, lb, $). 

 Imago. — Male. Upperside of a uniform ochreous-salmon colour. Forewing with 

 the costal band blackish, caused by dense black irrorations, a black oval spot at the end 

 of the cell, a black outer band, formed by a bar that extends downwards from the costa 

 at one-fifth from apex to vein 4, the black extended on the veins to the outer 

 marginal band, leaving four spots of the ground colour, the upper one small, the 

 marginal band is continued narrowly to the lower angle of the wing, and in some 

 examples is joined to the bar from the costa, below the spots, but this extension is 

 often very irregular and dislocated ; this outer band is rather uniform in width, 

 narrowing hindwards very gradually, and contains a row of marginal small spots of the 

 ground colour, one in each interspace. Hindwing with a marginal row of black nearly 

 square spots, one at the extremity of each vein, the costal space whitish. Underside 

 pale ochreous tinged with a rosy flush, darkest towards the base ; bands and spots pale 

 orange-brown, a white-centred spot at the end of each cell, the sub-apical bar of the 

 forewing followed by two or three spots in the disc and a complete discal band of 

 conjoined spots. 



Female. Upperside marked like the male, but paler, and there are many Albinos ; 

 the basal irrorations are more extensive, sometimes covering nearly half the wings, the 

 cell spot of the forewing is larger, and also the spots on the hindwing, their inner 

 margins touching each other, and there are indications of a discal blackish macular 

 band. Underside paler, the black cell spot of forewing white-centred, the di.scal bands 

 variable in size, in some of the white examples the spots are conjoined and very
