$ White, with dull yclloivish-ochreous more or less violet-glossed 
apieal pateh. Fore-ioing : costa dusted with blackish ; in some speci- 
mens a small black spot at extremity of discoidal cell ; ochreous at I 
apex divided into five elongate marks by the brown-clouded nervules, 1 
externally bordered by a brown violet-glossed edging, internally by a 
black stripe ; the latter stripe becomes merged on third median ner- 
vule with a glossy, deep hlack^ imier-marginal hand, widening from 
base, and becoming very broad and tendmg iipivard beyond first median 
nervule, but extending very close or quite to anal angle and lower portion 
of hind-margin. Hind-iuing : a duller black band, of considerable width, 
covering basal fourth or third of discoidal cell, and bounded inferiorly 
by second subcostal nervule, extends along near costa, ending suddenly, 
ivith a concave excavation, just before apex ; in some specimens small 
black spots along hind-margin at ends of nervules, as far as second or 
first median nervule ; blackish clouding from base extending a little 
between median and submedian nervures. Under side. — Whitish, or 
yellowish-white. Fore-wing : apex faintly tinted with yellow, — both it and 
inner-marginal band being indicated by a faint greyish tinge ; between 
first and third median nervules, not far from hind-margin, are two 
rounded blackish spots (in some specimens a third smaller spot below 
them, immediately beneath first median nervule). Hind-wing : slightly 
more yellowish than fore-wing ; spots on costa edged with chrome-yellow 
near base. 
$ Not as white, often more or less tinged with yellovj, rarely pale 
lenion-yelloiu. Fore-wing : apical patch less distinct, narrower, macular, 
visually lohitish, without violaceous gloss, sometimes tinged loith ochre- 
yellow, its outer margin rusty-brownish, its inner border blackish ; the 
latter stripe continued by two blackish spots to first median nervule, 
where the lowermost of the two spots almost touches extremity of 
inner-marginal band, which is much narrower, duller, and shorter than 
in ^ , leaving anal angular area wholly white ; disco-cellular spot larger, 
rounder. Hind-tuing : beyond middle, traces of a Uackish^ macular, 
angnlated sirijM, only distinct at commencement on costa beyond middle ; 
base rather widely dusted with fuscous. Under side. — Fore-iving : 
tinged with pale lemon-yellow ; apex pale yellow-ochreous, bordered 
inwardly as on upper side, but very faintly ; below last blackish spot 
and first median nervule, a faint blackish mark defines extremity 
of inner-marginal band. Hind-iving : pale yellow-ochreous, a small
