$ Bright ijcde sidphur-yelloiu ; cqncal patch large, orange, veri/ slightly 
glossed luith pink, occup)ying nearly half area of fore-ioing. Fore-iuing : 
base very narrowly blackish ; costa edged with black and narrowly 
speckled with blackish ; apical patch internally sometimes with an ill- 
defined faint blackish edging, externally with a well-marked black 
edging, widest at apex, on nervules acutely indenting orange, and 
narrowing to lower extremity of patch, beneath which (immediately 
above posterior angle) it suddenly widens, forming a blackish spot. 
Hind-wing : a hind-marginal series of small indistinct blackish nervular 
spots, in some specimens very minute. Under side. — Hind-wing and 
apical area of for c-iving chronie-yellO'W. Fore-wing: apical patch indi- 
cated by a flush of deeper yellow and very faint greyish edging ; along 
hind-margin an inter-nervular series of thin black dots. Hind-wing : 
a terminal disco-cellular blackish dot, usually rather indistinct ; inter- 
nervular series of dots as in fore-wing. 
$ Sometimes paler than ^, occasioncdly nearly white ; apical patch 
sometimes rather paler than in traversed hy part of a cliscal series of 
large lucll-markcd blackish spots. Fore-wing : base rather widely but 
sparsely dusted with blackish ; a conspicuous well-defined terminal 
disco-cellular spot, very variable in size, reniform or subovate in two 
examples, acuminate superiorly ; outer border of orange patch browner 
than in ^, emitting longer nervular rays ; discal ray composed of three 
more or less united smaller spots, obliquely placed between dark costal 
border and lower radial nervule, — two united spots (of which the upper 
is much the larger) between third and first median nervules, and 
two (of which the upper is subquadrate and the largest in the series) 
a little before the two last-named spots, between first median nervule 
and inner margin ; between these three groups of spots in the discal 
series there is usually a thin indistinct connecting line of blackish 
scales. Hind-wing : a broken discal macular ray of blackish spots, 
widely and completely interrupted between second subcostal and third 
median nervules, angulated on the latter nervule, and thence consisting 
of two or three separate spots, and reaching either to first median ner-
