cellular nervules ; seven spots in irregular discal row, of whicli the fifth 
and sixth are largest, the first (near costa) usually indistinct j and the 
seventh (on inner margin beyond middle) often wanting ; costa edged 
with black, which widens into a broad apical and hind-marginal border 
containing seven spots of the ground-colour ; this border gradually nar- 
rowing to a thin edging at posterior angle, its inner edge radiating on 
the nervules, but leaving the last two spots confluent with the discal 
ground-colour; between upper spots of discal row and hind-margin 
some more or less distinct whitish scaling ; base narrowly clouded with 
black, which emits a ray along inner margin. Hind-iuing : no black 
spot on disco-cellular nervule, but one in cell near extremity ; before 
middle a spot between costal and subcostal nervures ; seven spots in 
irregular discal row, the last two of which are the largest ; hind-mar- 
giual border moderately broad, somewhat narrower towards anal angle, 
more or less radiating inv/ardiy on nervules, and enclosing eight sub- 
lunulate spots rather paler than the ground-colour or (sometimes) 
whitish-yellow ; basal black rather deeply piercing cell and extending 
widely below median nervure to rather beyond origin of first nervule ; 
inner margin beyond middle tinged with whitish- yellow in those speci- 
mens in which the hind-marginal spots are of that hue. Under side. — 
Hind-wing and costcd edging and apical area of fore-wing ivliitisli-yellow ; 
nervules strongly clouded with black near margin. Fore-wing : spots 
as on upper side ; along hind-margin, between apex and first median 
nervule, a series of more or less conspicuous inter-nervular short ful- 
vous rays. Hind-wing: spots as on upper side, but larger, those of 
discal row often contiguous ; below median nervure a transverse stripe 
of three contiguous spots extends to inner margin, almost touching the 
eighth (additional) spot of discal row ; base marked with two rather 
large pinh spots, edged with black ; immediately before discal spots a 
row of pink spots, indistinct or obsolete near costa, but large and con- 
spicuous towards inner margin ; spots of hind-marginal border whitish- 
yellow, and so much larger than on upper side as to reduce the black 
to a linear external and narrow internal edging ; before the border 
some very faint inter-nervular fulvous rays. In both wings the basal 
black is wanting, but the costa near base is marked with a small dis- 
tinct black spot. 
$ Semi-transparent greyish-ochreous ; the liind-iuing more or less 
tinged with pale fidvous ; an indistinct yellowish- white oblique bar 
outwardly bounding three upper spots of discal row^ ; black of hind- 
marginal borders duller, rather broader. Fore-iving : occasionally a 
minute elongate spot before middle, below median nervure. Hind- 
wing : sometimes a minute spot on disco-cellular nervule. Under 
SIDE. — Yellowish colouring paler ; inter-nervular rays obsolete, or 
nearly so ; pink markings of hind-wing duller, especially discal ones, 
which are sometimes obsolete.
