and hind wings white alternated with brown. Underside: fore 

 wing pale yellow ; cell crossed by three laterally black-margined 

 orange-yellow bars ; beyond the cell a short, broad, irregular jet- 

 black oblique band from costa to base of vein 4 ; apex and dorsal 

 margin broadly, termen in the middle narrowly, dusky brownish 

 black with some obscure paler markings ; a round jet-black discal 

 spot in interspace 2 and another smaller one in interspace 5. 

 Hind wing greyish yellow ; in the dry-season form strongly 

 irrorated with dusky scales ; a prominent transverse brown discal 

 fascia, its margins highly sinuous ; a brownish broad shade on the 

 middle of the termen ; some obscure lunuiar marks on the basal 

 area, a postdiscal line of minute dots, and subterminal and ter- 

 minal zigzag slender lines pale brown. Antennae pale, head, 

 thorax and abdomen dark brownish black : beneath dull ochraceous 

 white. — $ similar, the colours duller. Upperside fore wing : 

 cell with a more or less complete transverse black fascia and 

 another at the discocellulars ; blue-centred well-marked ocelli 

 in interspaces 2 and 5 on the disc of the fore wing, and smaller 

 ocelli in interspaces 2 and 5 on the disc of the hind wing. Fore 

 and hind wings with a fairly well-defined pale subterminal line, the 

 blue spot on the anterior black area on the hind wing small and 

 ill-defined or entirely wanting ; the rest as in the c? . Underside 

 as in the c? , but generally with the markings heavier and more 

 clearly defined.
