■border extremely broad, rather diffused and irregular along its inner 
3 edge, joining outer border on second and first median nervules. Ilind- 
\wing : basal fuscous irroration less extended than in fore-wing ; a series 
I of large hind-marginal nervular black spots, usually uniting to form a 
' border of moderate width, sharply dentating the white on nervules ; 
on costa, beyond middle, a moderate-sized blackish marking, between 
'costal nervure and first subcostal nervure. Under side. — White. 
' Fore-ioing : base rather widely sufi'used with pale sulphur-yellow; 
' disco-cellular spot usually better marked and rounder than on upper 
side ; apical orange much paler and less defined, but considerably 
: broader than on upper side, its borders only very faintly indicated by 
: the palest grey and the outer one tinged with sulphur-yellow ; beyond 
j middle, between first median nervule and submedian nervure, a dif- 
fused or faint blackish spot, sometimes obsolete. Hind-iving : costa for 
a little distance from base tinged narrowly with yellow, — sometimes 
I edged with orange yellow ; a distinct terminal disco-cellular black dot, 
with a conspicuous (sometimes large) bright-orange spot immediately 
preceding and touching it ; rarely on costa, and still more rarely on 
!| median nervules, some exceedingly faint traces of a discal ray. Minute 
but distinct terminal nervular black dots in both wings. 
\ $ Yellowish-white or yellowish ; apical patch brownish-black, usually 
uniform, but sometimes traversed by a scries of three or four small dull 
pale-orange or gelloivish spots [almost obsolete in some specimens) and more 
rarely hy a well-developed six-partite p)alc'0range hand, much narroiver 
and more curved than in ^. Fore-iuing : basal suff'usion closer and 
wider than in ^, and on inner margin about middle merged in an ill- 
defined fuscous stripe, of which the extremity beyond middle is blackish 
and truncate, and usually emits an upward projection ; disco -cellular 
terminal dot rather larger. Hind-iving : basal suffusion very much 
wider and closer than in ^, extending inferiorly to beyond middle, and 
more narrowly along costa; discal ray strongly blackish-marked at 
costal origin, usually continuous, and also broadly and strongly marked 
in its inferior portion ; hind-marginal blackish spots similar in size and 
f3rm to those of the more strongly marked $ s. Under side. — Fore- 
loing sulphur-yellow J with broad dull pale-orange apical patch ; hind- 
wing varying from pale-yelloio to deep ochrey-yelloio and pale ochrey- 
reddish. Fore-iving : blackish spot indicating termination of inner- 
marginal stripe well marked. Hind-iving : discal ray reproduced in 
dull pale brownish-ferruginous. 
The development of the apical black is very strong in this species ; 
and I have a $ from Cape Coast Castle in which the orange-red patch 
is quite obliterated by black below the lower radial nervule. Drury 
(whose figures are exceedingly inferior to most of his illustrations) and 
Cramer both figure a $ in which the apical patch is wholly black except 
for a slight reddish scaling along its inner edge, but Cramer's $ is 
more heavily marked, and with a much deeper tinted under side. The
