angle ; all these black bands connected at the anterior margin, and the first, 

 second, and fifth of them at the inner margin also, by a very narrow edging 

 of black. 



Posterior wings with two black bands commencing and connected at 

 the anterior margin and coinciding with bands of the underside, one 

 basal, extending to the end of the first half of the first median veinlet, and the 

 other discal, extending a short distance into the space between the 2nd and 

 3rd median veinlets ; with a small black spot near the end of the cell 

 scarcely distinct from the discal band ; with four discal spots immediately 

 beyond the cell running nearly parallel with the band, the first and largest 

 transversly elongated and coinciding with a spot on the underside, tlie rest 

 smaller than the coi-responding ones on the underside, which latter are 

 consequently seen through the wing-membrane beyond the margins of the 

 former ; with a black spot succeeded by one of luteous at the anal angle ; with 

 a marginal and submarginal series of black lunules coalescent in the anterior 

 third but more distinct in the posterior two-thirds of the wing, where the 

 two series are more or less separated from one another by ashy-grey scales 

 continuous with the ashy patch occupying the outer third of the wing and 

 extending also along so as to obscure the ultra-cellular part of the basal 

 black band ; with the discal band and spots more or less irrorated and 

 obscured with ashy-grey scales so that the disk of the wing appears mottled 

 with black and grey ; and with the black tails, as also the incisures, margined 

 with cretaceous-white. 



Wings below pure white, anterior ones marked as above, with the 

 orround-colour at the base and between the black bands as far as the 



o 



median vein and its second branch yellowish ; with the band of ground- 

 colour separating the fifth black band from the black outer border distinct, 

 and not decreasing but on the contrary rather increasing in breadth, to the 

 inner angle ; and witli the curved line dividing tlie fiftli black band into 

 two forks more distinct and less discontinuous. 



Posterior wings, from the base up to the median vein and the discal black 

 band, yellowish, with three black bands, one narrow running from the 

 insertion along the inner margin close to the abdominal fold, and two broader 

 commencing and connected at the anterior margin and cutting the cell, one 

 of these latter basal, extending nearly to tlie end of the basal half of the first 

 median veinlet, and the other discal, some distance into the space between 

 the 2nd and 3rd median veinlets, the two first of the three bands connect- 

 ed together at their outer extremities and with two largish coalescent 

 black spots in the anal region ; with a small black spot near the extremity 

 of the cell, and six of the same colour immediately beyond it disposed in a 

 line which runs straight from the costal vein as far as tlie cell, but then curves
