wing narrow, the apex produced and the outer margin oblique ; veins 

 3, 4, 5 from angle of cell ; 7 curved and approximated to 8, 9, to 

 which 10 also is approximated. Hind wing with the cell short ; the 

 discocellulars straight ; veins 3, 4 from angle and approximated 

 for a short distance ; 5 from just above angle ; 6, 7 from upper

u medial line, which has some 



orange irroration beyond it ; the medial area purplish fuscous ; a 



discocellular black band with a yellow and orange mark on it ; a 



postmedial sinuous line retracted at vein 2 to angle of cell, with a 



broad white band inside it above vein 2 and a narrow band outside 



its retracted portion ; the outer area purplish fuscous, the cilia 



yellow below apex and towards outer angle. Hind wing with the 



base yellow spotted with orange ; an oblique antemedial black line 



with spot on it at lower angle of cell, a little purplish fuscous 



suffusion inside it, and a broad white band beyond it bounded by 



a sinuous black line from costa to vein 2 ; the marginal area 



purplish fuscous. 



In the Ceylon race cingalesa the white band of hind wing is 

 much broader than in the typical form and hardly narrows towards 

 inner margin.
