above submedian nervure, — one of the minute uppermost pair often 
wanting, and one or more of the lower pairs usually coalescent ; sexual 
discal badges of silky appressed hairs on median nervules and sub- 
median nervure well developed. Hind-wing : transverse stripe well 
before middle at its origin on costa, narrow, or rather narrow, running 
obliquely as far as submedian nervure, and terminating acuminately 
beyond middle ; along inner margin, and also on external border of 
lower part of stripe, a little pale sulphur-yellow irroration ; submar- 
ginal spots larger than in fore-wing (except uppermost pair), the upper 
spot in each of the five pairs considerably larger than the lower one ; 
sometimes traces of a sixth pair of spots between first median nervule 
and submedian nervure ; sometimes a small indistinct anal-angular 
pale sulphur-yellow spot ; tail black, edged on each side of its wider 
part towards extremity by a narrow elongate pale sulphur-yellow spot 
tinged with ochre-yellow. Common to hoth wings, an inter-nervular 
series of pale sulphur-yellow lunular marks, more or less tinged with 
ochre-yellow, along all hind-marginal edge. Under side. — Hind-wing 
and apical area of fore-wing pale-hroiu7i, ?inth hlackish inter-nervidar 
rays ; yellowish markings all paler ; suhmarginal spots enlarged.^ ivith 
diffused edges. Fore-wing : basi-disco-cellular area yellowish-white, 
with four blackish longitudinal rays (of which the three lower branch 
from one stem) ; outer part of costal margin clouded with wdiitish as 
far as apex. Hind-iuing : neuration black ; inter-nervidar rays heyond 
transverse stripe Iroadly hut irregidarly clouded with hroivnish-hlach ; 
rays before stripe (viz., one between costal and subcostal nervures, 
and three with common stem in discoidal cell) blackish but unclouded ; 
above costal nervure, from base to middle, a yellowish-white margin, 
edged near base first with black and then with chrome-yellow ; small 
anal-angular spot, and marginal lunulate mark just beyond it, chrome- 
yellow ; immediately beyond outer boundary of discoidal cell, between 
origins of first subcostal and second median nervules, a more or less 
indistinct whitish streak, interrupted on nervules. 
Head black, with palpi, two frontal stripes, four spots on vertex, 
a spot at the back of each eye, and a lateral inferior half-ring round 
eye, pale sulphur-yellow ; antcnnoe conspicuously tipped luith ochre- 
yellow. Thorax black above, with a clothing of yellowish hairs, and 
two spots on prothorax ; beneath yellowish-white, with a black stripe 
down the coxa of each leg. Abdomen black above, irrorated with 
yellowish ; beneath and laterally, yellowish-white, with two longitu- 
dinal black stripes on each side. 
I have not seen the but, from Oberthiir's note and figure above 
cited, that sex does not appear to differ from the other except as 
regards the ground-colour, which is duller and browner ; the some- 
what broader transverse stripe ; and the rather larger and much duller- 
coloured submarginal spots. The under side is depicted as generally 
darker.
