Blackisli-brown, with transparent and pure-white opaque spots. Fore- 
wing : at extremity of cell two transparent spots, of which the lower 
is larger and elongate ; a little beyond and above these, a curved sub- 
costal row of three very small transparent spots ; below the two first- 
named spots, a large subquadrate transparent spot, between first and 
second median nervules, and a smaller quadrate transparent spot 
(nearer to hind-margin) between second and third median nervules ; 
below the largest transparent spot, a conspicuous subquadrate pure- 
white opaque spot, between first median nervule and submedian ner- 
vure; basal area with some yellowish - grey scaling. Hind-ioing : 
a pure-white, rather broad, central bar, extending from second sub- 
costal nervule almost to inner margin about middle, and enclosing in 
its upper portion (in outer half of cell) a large sub-triangular trans- 
parent spot. Cilia brownish-white, becoming pure-white about pos- 
terior angle in both wings. Under side. — Fore-ioing ivith costal margin 
and apical hind-margined area hroiunish-ochreous ; hind-iui7ig pure-white 
hordered with hroiunish-ochreous, and with a large hlachish-hroiun oclire- 
tinged irregidar patch on inner-mctrginal area near anal angle. Fore- 
wing : spots as on upper side. Hind-iuing : costal border narrow, 
terminating some distance before apex ; hind-marginal border mode- 
rately broad, terminating abruptly between first median nervule and 
submedian nervure ; irregular dark patch broadest inferiorly (but leav- 
ing a narrow even white border on anal angular projection), growing 
narrower superiorly, rising to a point between origin of second and third 
median nervules ; near base an elongate fuscous spot between median 
and submedian nervures ; above cell a series of two or three fuscous dots, 
one beyond the other, the outermost between the subcostal nervules. 
Judging from Hopffer's figure of the ^, and a single $ before me, 
the sexes do not difier, except in the blunter, more rounded wings of 
the and her somewhat enlarged dark patch on the under side of the 
hind-wing ; the white bar on the upper side of the hind-wing is also 
somewhat narrower in the 
The under side of the palpi, thorax, and abdomen, and the sides and middle 
of the back of the latter, are white in both sexes. 
Hopffer (loc. cit.) notes two s from Querimba. The only specimen I 
have seen is a $ from Delagoa Bay, which was recently (August 1884) for- 
warded to me for determination by Mr. H. Grose Smith.
