 crossed by a subbasal, a median and two discal transverse 

 somewhat sinuous black lines, the inner discal line bent out- 

 wards at vein 4 on the fore wing ; both discal lines, the outer 

 especially, more or less lunular ; cell of fore wing with two short 

 basal, a subapical and two outwardly curved postapical additional 

 black lines ; beyond the discal lines a transverse series of ochra- 

 ceous-white spots inwardly margined by a series of black lunules ; 

 terminal margins of both fore and hind wings broadly dusky black, 

 traversed by somewhat indistinct subterminal and terminal blacker 

 lines. Hind wing with a large subcostal and an apical ochraceous- 

 white spot ; tornal lobe with a blue spot and two or three 

 white specks. Underside very pale ochraceous yellow ; markings 

 similar to those on the upperside but more clearly defined, those 

 on the terminal margin of the fore wing somewhat obsolescent ; 

 the broad terminal dusky-black border on both fore and bind 

 wing absent. Antennae dark brown tipped with ochraceous ; 

 head, thorax and abdomen bright ochraceous, the latter two striped 

 longitudinally with black.

 same ochraceous tint above as the males but are paler on the 

 underside.
