" Nigro-fuscus, alis anticis 7 et 8 pimcta ferentibus in disco: tria ad apiccm elongata (in femina 

 quatuor, quarto miuimo, rotundato), coadunata, bina ad medium marginem externum ; et 

 bina alia in cellula, fulva. Alis posticis serie discali 3—1 punctorum fulvorum, et puncto 

 simili, parvo in cellula, sa;pius in mare cvanido. Alse subtus squamis flavidis irroralJE, nisi 

 in disco et in margine interne anticarum ; in anticis puncta majora, apicaliaquo discalibus juncta 

 aliis minimis, quibus ita efformatur fascia ; altera fascia ex apicc scquitur marginem et ad 

 medium vanescit. Pos'cicse magis irroratse, cum puncto costali et tribus lineis punctorum 

 flavorum, hac basali, ilia discali, et tcrtia vix conspicua margiuali. Corpus Havido sul^tus 

 irroratum, nec non pedes et palpi." {Mahille, I. c.) 



brownish black; markings rich yellow arranged as follows : — a large spot at outer extremity of the 

 cell of primaries with a dot above it, an interrupted band, consisting of I'our spots towards apex, 

 below which are two (sometimes three) other spots about the centre of the wing ; these spots 

 would be confluent if it were not for the dark neuration ; on the secondaries there is a discal 

 s|)ot, followed by a central band formed of yellow spots. Fringes greyish wliito, chequered 

 with black. Under surface of primaries as above, but sprinkled along tho costa with yellowish 

 scales ; there is also a row of spots on outer margin from the apex : secondaries thickly 

 sprinkled with yellow scales ; in addition to the markings of the upper surface there are two 

 basal spots, and also a series of spots along the outer margin. The feranle agrees with the 

 male, but on tho under surface the secondaries and costal area of primaries are suffused witli 

 orange, the markings being of a paler shade.
