Exp. al.^ 2 in. 8 lin. — 3 in. 7 lin. 
Dull 7'ed-ochre, ivith ivJiite-spotted hlach margins. Fore-iving : costa 
with a narrow black edging as far as extremity of discoidal cell, where 
the black suddenly widens, covering apical portion of wing, and 
narrowing again to anal angle, — the inner edge of the black is 
irregularly excavate ; on costa, before middle, almost invariably an 
elongate, small, white mark ; followed, a little farther on, by a similar, 
rather larger mark, immediately above extremity of discoidal cell, 
where there is generally a small, rounded white spot ; beyond these, an 
oblique row of six more or less closely-connected, somewhat quadrate, 
white spots, extends from costa to bend of hind-margin, meeting a 
hind-marginal row of from four to six small white spots, situate close 
to hind-margin's edge, about its middle ; two white spots at apex, the 
outer one close to commencement of hind-margin ; above these two 
spots, and a little before them, are sometimes two minute white dots ; 
almost always a rounded white spot between third and second median 
nervules, close to the junction of red and black ; and between the same 
nervules, immediately beneath the sixth spot of the oblique row, a 
similar, rather smaller spot ; cilia conspicuously black and white 
chequered. Hind-ioing : rather paler than fore-wing ; three ill-defined 
black spots on upper side of discoidal cell, — the largest spot occupying 
extremity of cell ; on costa, beyond middle, a narrow blackish mark, 
relieved with white on either side, connected by a black line with a 
moderately broad, inwardly much excavate, black hind-marginal bor- 
der, sometimes containing a few white dots near anal angle, more 
rarely a few near apex, sometimes wholly spotless ; ^ badge black ; cilia \ 
as in fore-wing. Under side. — White markings generally like those j 
on upper side ; apex of fore-ioing (beyond oblique white band) and | 
ivliole of hind-iving, soft, creamy^ ochre-yellow. Fore-wing : red darker 
than on upper side near costa, paler near inner margin ; black colour- 
ing within the oblique white band as on upper side; a hind-marginal 
narrow black band from apex, containing a conspicuous outer row of 
white spots throughout, and an inner row of smaller spots only bor- 
dering the apical yellow. Hind-wing : base black, containing three | 
white spots ; nervures and black markings all relieved by a white or 
whitish edging ; costal spot broader than on upper side, with a con- 
spicuous, white, black-tipped spot on each side of it ; before it, on costa, | 
a narrower, less conspicuous, but similar, black and white marking ; 
hind-marginal band marked throughout with large and conspicuous 
white spots, arranged in pairs between nervules ; spots bordering
