blacker, more distinctly truncate tlian on upper side, bounded superiorly 
by lirst median nervule. Hind-iving : costa broadly edged with briglit- 
orange from base to before middle ; an indistinct grey shade marks 
position of costal stripe of upper side, and a small dusky mark (usually 
mixed with rufous) its extremity beyond middle ; a hind-marginal series 
of minute nervular spots, usually Avanting above third median nervule ; 
rarely a faint dusky longitudinal ray along disco-cellular fold to beyond 
middle. 
^ Blackish markings largely cUvdoped, especially in hasal areas. 
Fore-iuing : apical patch duller than in ^, inclining to yellow along its 
inner edge (which has no trace of a blackish border), and intersected 
by a well-marked, curved submacular blackish stripe from costa to 
second median nervule, or a little below it ; apical hind- marginal border 
of patch brownish, broader than in ^, more broadly and deeply pene- 
trating the orange on nervules, but itself pierced almost or quite to 
hind-marginal edge by tlie prolonged acuminate points of the inter- 
nervular orange rays thus formed ; basal blackish, more or less white- 
scaled, not reaching to middle of inner margin, but filling the whole of 
discoidal cell (leaving costal border white), concavely excised at extre- 
mity of cell, extending beyond and below cell, and ending in an abruptly 
truncate projection on median nervules ; below first median nervule, 
beyond middle, a large quadrate blackish spot (representing termination 
of inner-marginal stripe in ^), the upper inner angle of which touches, 
or almost touches, truncate extremity of basal blackish area. Hind- 
luing : basal area more or less deeply suffused with greyish-fuscous, 
having a white or whitish space on costa about middle, immediately 
followed by a large inferiorly acuminate blackish costal marking ; 
extremity of discoidal cell usually blackish, enclosing a thin whitish 
terminal lunule ; hind-marginal spots much enlarged and difi:used, 
forming a broad border, enclosing externally a series of small ill-defined 
whitish inter-nervular spots ; preceding the border, but partly touching 
it, a discal transverse blackish ray on median nervules. Under side. — 
Hind-wing and outer part of ap)iccd patch of fore-wing more or less ti7iged 
loith creamy, rarely of a decided yelloivish or reddish tint. Fore-wing : 
blackish markings of upper side reproduced, but much fainter, the large 
basal one densely irrorated with yellowish except on its outer projec- 
tions ; intersecting ray of apical orange faintly indicated. Hind-iuing : 
a very faint grey shade representing basal clouding ; costal mark and 
discal ray ill- defined, more or less red ; a rather conspicuous orange 
terminal disco-cellular spot centred with white ; often a slight irroration 
of grey atoms over all the wing, except upper half beyond middle.
