This is an insect of much gaiety and beauty, and is also 

 sufficiently conspicuous in point of magnitude to form a striking 

 object in the series of White Papiliones Danai Candidi to which it 

 appertains. 



The prevailing colour of this species white, or white tinged 

 with yellow ; above the wings are white, except the broad indented 

 limb, or border, which is black ; and a large triangular patch of 

 ferruginous orange, at the base of the anterior pair. Beneath, the 

 white is blended with pale yellowish. The ferruginous spot at the 

 base of the anterior wings is also conspicuous, and there is likewise 

 a limb or border along the posterior margin, but which is of a brown 

 colour instead of black, and more irregularly broken with patches 

 and spots of a paler hue than the border as it appears on the upper 

 surface.
