$ . Upperside, both icings: Black with lemon-yellow markings. 

 Fore wing : The yellow markings consist of a subquadrate spot in 

 cell slightly before the discocellulars, not extending quite across the 

 cell, and a broad irregular subapical bar from slightly beyond middle 

 of costa to rather below the middle of hind margin, but not reaching 

 either by some 2 mm. Hind wing : On the hind wing there is a single 

 large conical yellow patch extending from the base towards hind 

 margin, which its apex, in area 2, very nearly reaches, but not 

 extending towards inner margin beyond vein 2. Three silver spots 

 marginally in areas lb and lc. Underside, both wings : Greyer, the 

 markings of upper side repeated and rather larger, the yellow slightly 

 paler. Fore wing : An indistinct, slightly paler narrow antemarginal 

 fascia, more marked anteriorly, and another, similar, from costa 

 between the subapical bar and the antemarginal fascia, curving out- 

 wards to join the antemarginal fascia in are& 3. A short diffuse oval 

 white patch centrally at the base of area lb. Hind wing : The central 

 yellow area much more sharply defined and reaching nearer the 

 margin. Between it and the hind margin run two pale narrow 

 bands, the outer curved and forming a white spot on vein 5, the 

 inner straight. The area between vein 2 and inner margin is densely 

 covered distally and posteriorly with bright ochraceous scales through 

 which run two silvery bands, both black-edged, the proximal by far 

 the longer and broader ; neither quite reaches vein lb. Internal to 

 each of the three silver spots in areas lb and lc is a larger jet-black 

 spot.
