Made. Wings above blackish or very dark fuscous ; anterior wings with an outer marginal series of 

 small creamy spots placed between the nervules; posterior wings with a transverse disc al Bering of large 

 creamy spots divided by the nervules, the fringe alternately creamy and blackish, Wings beneath as 

 above, hut the posterior wings having a submarginal series of lunulate ochraceous spots, two spots a little 

 above anal angle, the uppermost largest, reddish, and preceded by some bluiah scales, the fringe -like spots

 anal angle of posterior wings; wings beneath as in male, but the reddish spot above anal angle of posterior 

 wings duplex, and preceded by a somewhat reddish spot thickly irrorated with bluish scales situate between 

 the second and third median nemiles. 



This is the form depicted at Tab. XXXI IL, figs. 8 and 9 f the last figure illustrating a specimen with

 above anal angle is distinctly larger and enclosing a blackish centre. 



Female. Vartttal form h. — Anterior wings above much paler, the basal area darker and with darker 

 streaks in cell and between the nervnles ; posterior wings with five creamy discal spots, one in and near 

 end of cell and four beyond apex of cell divided by the discoidal and first and second median nervules, 

 the innermost spot being more or less ochraceous and situate in a larger reddish patch irrorated with
