 sprinkled golden bronzy atoms; the innermargin of the bluish 

 marginal fascia is less dentate and not quite so broad at

Below the wings are more concolorous, the pale spots 

 being almost of the same tint as the ground-colour and there-

 clear blue markings; viz, on the disk a narrow stripe between

 white angular belt, interrupted by black nervures, and throwing 

 off three decreasing white spots from its angle to the costa; 

 the submarginal spots are more regulär, larger towards external 

 angle, where they are whitish, but decreasing to a mere point 

 towards apex, the 2 series of spots across the basal half of 

 secondaries are larger and paler towards costa, the inner 

 series terminating in a white subcostal spot, a second white 

 subcostal spot is placed nearer to the base at the extremity 

 of a fulvous stripe which borders the basal portion of the 

 subcostal vein and its first brauch the tawny borders of the 

 ocelloid discal series of spots are more isolated, the inner 

 series less lunate; the body is black above, the antennae tipped 

 with fulvous, the thorax with 2 spots of ochreous behind the 

 collar, 2 lateral white spots in the middle and 2 behind; the 

 abdomen is spotted in front and narrowly banded behind with 

 ochreous. The colouration and general pattern below are most
