with central black band by clouded nervules as to enclose a regular 
series of eight elongate ground-colour spots (the first and the last two 
much smaller than the rest). Under side. — Hincl-iving and apical 
hind-marginal area of fore-wing sidphiir-yelloio, ivith ferruginous-red 
stripes and nervular clouding. Fore-wing : warm ochreous-yellow with a 
tinge of omnge ; no basal grey or white or costal blackish, but costa 
near base bordered with sulphur-yellow ; terminal disco-cellular black 
mark much narrower than on upper side ; discal band reduced, sub- 
macular or even macular, near costa ferruginous-red ; hind-marginal 
border reduced to a thin ferruginous streak, and ferruginous nervules 
marking off a hind-marginal series of large sulphur-yellow spots, except 
towards its lower extremity, where it is blackish with only a minute 
external ochre-yellow spot ; upper four of spots between hind-marginal 
border and discal band sulphur-yellow. Hind-iuhig : central band 
and inner side of hind-marginal border ferruginous-red, the nervules 
clouded with the same colour, uniting them and serving to separate 
seven hind-marginal sulphur-yellow spots, all very large and rounded 
except a linear one at apex ; before middle, from costal nervure, a 
narrow irregularly-dentate ferruginous-red transverse streak, bounded 
outwardly by disco-cellular nervule, and becoming obsolete a little below 
it ; costa rather widely edged with orange-yellow to middle ; from base 
} four longitudinal streaks of orange-yellow, viz., a very short one below 
j costal nervure, a short one to extremity of cell, a very long one between 
; median and submedian nervures (extending to end of central band), 
and a rather short one just below submedian nervure.

not so dark ; hind-7nargincd fore-wing streaks and hiiid-wing spots ochrey- 
yelloiv, usually larger (especially in hind-iving). Fore-iving : basal bluish- 
grey wider and duller, rarely leaving any white beyond it ; terminal 
disco-cellular mark broader (in some specimens superiorly radiating 
towards base). Under side. — As in $.
