(S 2 • Upperside black. Fore and hind wings with a discal 

 broad transverse area from below vein 4 in fore wing to vein 2 on 

 hind wing, a moderately large spot in 

 interspace 5, a minute preapical clot be- 

 yond in interspace 6 on fore wing, and a 

 subterminal row of spots with two or 

 three spots beyond them on the tornal 

 angle of the hind wing, pale yellow, some- 

 times with an ochraceous, sometimes with 

 a greenish tinge. The discal area on the 

 fore wing nearly as broad in interspace 3 

 as on the dorsum, on the hind wing nar- 

 rowing to an acute point on vein 2 at two- 

 thirds of its length from base of wing. 

 Tails touched with bluish grey. Under- 

 side with the discal transverse area and 

 spot in interspace 5 as on the upperside ; 

 base and costal margin of the fore wing- 

 to apex, and base and dorsal margin of 

 the hind wing broadly lilacine brown, on 

 fore wing with two small black spots near 

 base. Bordering the transverse discal area on the inner side, 

 where it is margined with black lines, and above, is a broad 

 chocolate curved band, continued more narrowly along the outer 

 side of the discal area ; beyond this on the fore wing is a 

 concave series of dusky black lunules, on the hind wing the 

 band itself is traversed by a line of obscure pale lunules ; finally*
