tlie inner angle; all -^these black bands connected at the anterior mai'gin, 

 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 neai-ly parallel with the band, the first and largest 

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

 smaller than the corresponding 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 jjure white, anterior ones marked as above, with the 

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

 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 with the curved line dividing the fifth 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 the 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 connected together at their outer extremities and with two largish 

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

 extremity of the cell, and six of the same colour immediatelj'^ beyond it 

 disposed in a line which runs straight from the costal vein as far as the 

 cell, but then curves abruptly inwards, the first of these s.pots transversely
