of discoidal cell, sometimes touching costal border, a small rounded 
spot; at extremity of cell a short, broad, oblique, curved black bar, 
generally ending abruptly on third median nervule, but rarely partly 
prolonged towards hind-margin by a small elongate mark below that 
! nervule ; apical border rather broad ; hind-marginal border narrower, 
its inner edge emitting irregularly short thin nervular rays, and one 
inter-nervular projection between second and third median nervules ; 
enclosed in border, from apex to posterior angle, eight inter-nervular 
spots of the ground-colour (of which the upper four are more linear 
than the lower), sometimes very distinct, but oftener obscured or 
wanting near apex. Hind-%ving : base a little more widely blackish 
than in fore-wing ; a well-marked, slightly curved, sub-linear spot at 
upper part of extremity of discoidal cell ; basal and discal spots of 
under side faintly showing ; hind-marginal border much like that of 
fore-wing, but containing seven spots, which are seldom very distinct, 
and sometimes almost obliterated. Under side. — Hind-wing and 
apical area of fore-wing pale creaniy-yelloivish, the nervules clouded 
with black towards margin, which is bounded by a black line. Fore- 
wing : ground-colour much paler, especially towards posterior angle; 
costal border mostly creamy-yellowish ; oblique bar not so strongly 
marked ; along hind-margin a row of short inter-nervular ochreous 
rays. Hind-wing : the following small black spots, viz., two at base, 
one on costa close to base, one close to costa before middle, two in 
discoidal cell, one at extremity of cell, one just below median nervure, 
and two close to inner margin near base ; about middle an angulated 
discal row of eight spots from costa to inner margin ; a sharply- 
festooned black line, before hind- marginal one, but meeting it on each 
nervule, separates from disc seven large, inwardly-narrowed spots of 
the ground-colour. 
^ (Form a.) — Paler, duller ; hind-marginal borders considerahly 
hvader, all their enclosed sj)ots large and distinct. Fore-wing : oblique 
bar narrower, more curved ; inward projection of hind-marginal border 
between second and third median nervules much greater. Under side. 
—As in ^. 
$ (Form — Fore-iving : semi-trccnsparent grey, basally tinged 
with more or less fulvous- ochreous ; oblique bar much reduced or almost 
obsolete ; the space immediately beyond it more or less whitish (this 
ivhitish is usually vaguely and narroiuly prolonged to posterior angle) ; 
hind-marginal border and its spots more or less suffused and indistinct. 
Hind-wing : several of the discal and basal spots of under side well 
pronounced but rather suffused ; usually some dull grey irroration in 
basal area. Under side. — Hind-wing : before the festooned line which 
encloses hind-marginal spots, a similar (but not parallel) less pro- 
nounced festooned line, so that the two lines seclude between them an 
inner series of small spots of the ground-colour, each spot divided by 
a black-clouded nervule.
