Head and thorax dark violaceous grey ; abdomen orange, with 

 broad black bands above. Fore wing dark violaceous grey ; a dark 

 spot at base ; an antemedial waved line, angled below median 

 nervure ; a black speck in cell ; reniform a large dark lunule ; the 



postmedial line sinuous, highly ex- 

 curved beyond the cell, then bent 

 inwards to below reniform ; a sub- 

 marginal rich brown double line filled 

 in with whitish, arising from the 

 outer margin below apex and angled 

 outwards to the margin at vein 3. 

 Hind wing orange, the costal area 

 Fig. 255. black-brown, conjoined to a large 



Hypocala subsatura, <$ . \. spot in end of cell ; a broad fascia 



from base below cell ; the outer area 

 black-brown, angled inwards at vein 2, and with a submarginal 

 orange spot at centre and a small marginal spot near anal angle ; 

 the cilia orange. Underside orange ; the costal and apical areas of 

 fore wing and costa of hind wing ochreous and brown speckled ; 

 disk of fore wing black, with a large yellow spot; hind wing with 

 large cell-spot ; the outer area marked as above. 



In the typical form the markings of the fore wing are indistinct ; 

 in aspersa the ground-colour is much more variegated, the mark- 

 ings prominent ; in limbata the fore wing is dark chocolate with a 

 broad pale inner band speckled with brown, and angled upwards to 

 lower end of cell ; a triangular grey patch on costa before apex.

Differs from subsatura in the head, thorax, and fore wing being 

 paler. Hind wing with the orange area larger ; the marginal 

 black area reduced and the two orange spots conjoined. Under- 

 side with the black on fore wing reduced to two bars, and that on 

 hind wing also much reduced. 



The form 'plumicornis corresponds to aspersa, and rostrata to 

 limbata.
