and apex reaches second median, and its outermost angle joins hind- 
marginal border on first median nervule, leaving an oblique subapical 
band of yellow, crossed by four dark nervules. Hind-wing : spotless ; 
inner margin broadly black-bordered throughout ; a moderately wide 
hind-marginal border, broader towards anal angle, radiating slightly on 
nervules, and emitting a long black ray between first median nervule 
and submedian nervure, where it is also marked with two yellow dots 
close to hind-margin ; sometimes two other similar dots more towards 
middle point of hind-margin. Under side. — All of a deeper yellow ^ 
with only t^ery narroiu blackish edgings, excepting on inner margin of 
hind-wing^ ivhere, hoiuever, the border is narrower, shorter {only reaching 
anal angle by a thin streak), and enclosing interiorly a yelloiv stripe; 
neuration in both wings finely black beyond middle. Fore-wing : spots 
forming fascia only represented ; spot near base and beyond middle 
only indicated by some fuscous scales. Cilia blackish above and below, 
with a few whitish hairs at anal angle of hind-wing. 
Head : above black, with a frontal ochre-yellow spot between palpi 
and a white spot behind it ; also a white spot before and an ochre- 
yellow spot behind base of each antenna, and a white spot on vertex ; 
palpi above black with a whitish -yellow spot at end of middle joint, 
beneath ochre-yellow, — terminal joint entirely black; antennae black. 
Thorax above black ; collar with three ochre-yellow spots, pterygodes 
with one, and a yellowish-white tip ; two ochre-yellow spots on each 
side (? also some on back) ; and two tufts of pale yellowish hair in the 
black posterior pubescence ; beneath black, the middle broadly ochre- 
yellow in front and narrowly yellowish with two lateral whitish tufts 
posteriorly ; an ochre-yellow spot on each side in front ; legs black, — 
the middle and hind femora ochre-yellow in front, and the hind ones 
bearing a long ochre-yellow tuft. 
Abdomen above black, with a terminal ochre-yellow tutt, and with 
four broad conspicuous ochre-yellow transverse lateral stripes which 
narrow to points dorsally without meeting ; beneath paler ochre-yellow 
with a black stripe on each side. 
$ Much didler ; the ground-colour tinged throughout with brownish, 
and the dark markings (especially the borders) diminished and not so 
black. Fore-wing : costal border narrowly fuscous to beyond middle, 
not touching first subcostal spot ; this spot more distinctly separate 
than in from the spot obliquely below and beyond it ; hind-marginal 
border much reduced and narrowed, especially inferiorly, but radiating 
on nervules throughout ; inner-marginal border almost linear beyond 
middle. Hind-ioing : hind-marginal and inner-marginal borders greatly 
reduced, especially in anal angular area ; the ochre-yellow dots in the 
former increased in number and size to a series of from five to seven 
rather ill-defined spots. Under side. — As in but duller and rather 
darker. 
Thorax with three pairs — anterior, mesial, and posterior — of ochre-
