^ White, ivitli glittering -violet ccpical patch edged on hoth sides with 
blackish. Fore-wing : base rather widely and closely sprinkled with 
blackisli scales, especially along and near inner margin ; costa also 
similarly sprinkled but becoming black-edged before middle ; apical 
violet forming a moderately wide band, lessening in width towards its 
extremities (especially inferiorly), from second subcostal to between 
third and second median nervules, and divided by slender black crossing 
nervules into five unequal parts (besides a, minute sixth part between 
third and fourth subcostal nervules) ; inner black edge of violet mode- 
rately broad, complete throughout, but rather diffused inwardly, extend- 
ing from costa a little beyond middle to a point at extremity of first 
median nervule on hind-margin ; outer edge broader, especially at 
apex, and (except on nervules) strongly clouded with pale grey, the 
dark indentations of the violet on nervules very slight ; a small, thin, 
elongate, slightly curved terminal disco-cellular black spot ; neuration 
only black beyond middle, except submedian nervure, which is heavily 
marked in black from considerably before middle. Hind-iuing : neura- 
tion conspicuously black-marked throughout ; in some specimens the 
black is barely or slightly thickened at extremity of nervules, but in 
most it is developed into a conspicuous series of hind-marginal spots 
with diffused edges ; fold between median nervure and its first nervule 
and submedian nervure marked with a distinct black line, and some 
blackish irroration over the same inter-nervular space and lower basal 
part of discoidal cell. Under side. — White throughout, or ivith a very 
slight tinge of pale yellowish or pale pinkish-creamy over hind-iving and 
apical area of fore-iving. Fore-wing : disco-cellular spot distinct ; a 
very faint indication of the position of the violet patch of upper side. 
Hincl-wing : costa edged narrowly with orange-yellow for a little dis- 
tance from base (rarely as far as middle or a little beyond it) ; a termi- 
nal disco-cellular black spot, smaller than that in fore-wing ; beyond 
middle a blackish mark on costa is the first and usually the most dis- 
tinct trace remaining of a discal macular ray, normally angulated on 
third median nervule, — but its course seldom continuously marked even 
so far, and beyond that point never indicated except by two widely 
separated, small, often indistinct spots. 
^ White {rarely more or less yellow) ; apiccd patch of fore-wing much 
broader than in orange-red, spotted and broadly bordered tvith black. 
Fore-ioing : basal clouding much denser, darker, and superiorly much 
broader than in $ ; disco-cellular spot much larger and rounder ; 
between first median nervule and submedian nervure a large quadrate 
discal black spot, sometimes enlarged and confluent inwardly with
