  Fore 
  wings 
  long, 
  narrow, 
  and 
  rather 
  pointed, 
  black, 
  with 
  dull 
  

   yellow 
  spots 
  ; 
  spot 
  1 
  very 
  small 
  or 
  wanting, 
  and 
  spot 
  5 
  replaced 
  by 
  

   a 
  series 
  of 
  5 
  long 
  well-separated 
  spots, 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  4th 
  is 
  the 
  

   longest. 
  Hind 
  wings 
  salmon-colour, 
  with 
  broad 
  black 
  borders, 
  

   into 
  which 
  the 
  ground 
  colour 
  projects 
  rather 
  sharply 
  ; 
  tips 
  of 
  all 
  

   the 
  wings 
  with 
  the 
  fringe 
  white; 
  abdomen, 
  except 
  at 
  the 
  tip, 
  

   clothed 
  with 
  dirty 
  yellowish 
  hairs.

  The 
  shape, 
  the 
  obsolete 
  basal 
  spot, 
  and 
  the 
  well- 
  

   separated 
  apical 
  band 
  of 
  spots, 
  easily 
  distinguish 
  this 
  

   species 
  from 
  any 
  other, 
  except, 
  perhaps, 
  the 
  following.

  Apical

  Fore 
  wings 
  black, 
  with 
  2 
  rows 
  of 
  yellow 
  spots 
  ; 
  one 
  median,

  somewhat 
  isolated.

  Seems 
  to 
  differ 
  from 
  X.

  in 
  the 
  black 
  body, 
  

   whiter 
  fringes, 
  less 
  divided 
  apical 
  spot,

  (possibly) 
  in 
  

   the
