J Deep-red tinged with carmine; tvith black spots and bands. 
Fore-wing : base suffused with deep-black ; in discoidal cell, three 
black spotSj — one round, touching basal black, — another elongate 
transversely, somewhat quadrate, a little beyond middle of cell, — the 
third at extremity of cell, variable in thickness, slightly curved out- 
wards ; three spots below cell, one touching median nervure, and more 
or less included in the basal black, — another between median nervure 
and its first nervule, — the third a little beyond the second, below first 
median nervule ; a little beyond extremity of cell, a broad, oblique, 
black band, directed towards middle of hind-margin, and extending to 
second median nervule ; apical portion of wing, beyond this black band, 
warm reddish-ochre; apex rather widely bordered with black, which 
narrows to a thin, hind-marginal edge on third or second median 
nervule, where, suddenly widening again, its inner edge is united to 
the extremity of the oblique band from costa, and it extends to anal 
angle, containing two or three spots between nervules of the apical 
ochre tint. Hind-tving : base broadly suffused with deep-black, con- 
taining a thin cellular white spot ; touching the edge of which, in cell, 
and about median nervnre, is a clouding of loliitc scales, sometimes 
large and conspicuous ; a small black spot at extremity of discoidal cell, 
and beyond it a more or less interrupted transverse row of six or seven 
rounded spots ; a broad, well-defined, black band bordering hind-margin, 
slightly dentate on its inner edge, and sometimes containing four or 
five very small inter- nervular reddish spots. Under side. — Black 
markings much as on upper side, but differing much in groimd-colours ; 
surface generally glistening. Forc-iving : pale salmon-red ; black suffu- 
sion at base faint, and only present below median nervure ; two black 
spots on costa, close to base ; space between black costal stripe and
