margin. Under side. — Fore-wing : large white markings as on upper- 
side, bub not violet-ringed ; costa thinly dusted with white as far as 
larger white marking ; three small white spots immediately below 
subcostal nervure ; a space of rich clwcolcde-recl, from base, occupies 
nearly whole of cell, extending a little below it ; apical portion shining 
brownish-oclireous ; white spot at apex commencing a row of white 
dots, parallel to hind-margin, only a few of which are apparent ; two 
parallel rows of conspicuous white lunules along hind-margin, which is 
black ; immediately before larger white marking, and sometimes touch- 
ing it, is a small, narrow, irregularly-shaped white mark on costa. 
Hind-iving : shining brownish-ochreous ; tinged with chocolate-red near 
anal angle, and on costa near base ; large central spot extended into a 
very broad, white, median band, from costa to inner margin, edged 
with black inwardly from costal nervure, and containing an elongate 
black spot, close to costa a little beyond middle, and a black streak on 
inner margin before anal angle ; hind-marginal black broader than in 
fore-wing, its two rows of white lunules larger and more conspicuous ; 
parallel to hind-margin a row of rather distinct white dots. 
$ Didl reddisli-oclireous. Fore-wing : apical half of wing blackish, 
narrowing to a very thin bordering at base and anal angle, containing 
an oblique pure-white stripe from costa, consisting of four moderate- 
sized spots (of which the lowest is separate from the rest), and almost 
reaching hind-margin ; two rows of whitish lunules border hind-margin, 
as on under side of ^, but not so distinct; close to apex, a narrow 
white stripe, composed of three small spots, almost parallel to the 
larger stripe, with a white dot a little Icloio it. Hind-wing : a dusky- 
blackish spot on costa, a little beyond middle, as in ^ on under side, 
but much hroadcT ; a rather narrow, blackish border to hind-margin, 
containing a row of more or less distinct, whitish lunules, and the 
indications of a similar row before the outer one ; faint-bluish tinge at 
anal angle as in J. Under side. — Considerably like that of ^, parti- 
cularly the fore -wing. Fore-wing: white stripes as on upper side; 
white spots below subcostal nervure as in ^ ; dull-red from base much 
pialer than in tinged with ochreous, and occupying whole of inner 
margin (where it is very pale), only leaving a narrow band of blackish, 
from base to anal angle, before larger white stripe ; apical portion, 
beyond larger stripe, shining yellow-ochreous ; hind-marginal lunules 
as in ^. Hind-iuing : shining yellowish-ochreous ; a whitish central 
shade indicates position of white transverse band ; blackish costal spot 
as on ifpper side ; a blackish mark at base, on costal nervure ; and 
another, larger, irregular, blackish mark at extremity of discoidal cell 
on discoidal nervure ; hind-marginal border as in ^, as well as row of 
white dots parallel to it, 
Var. $ {D. Inaria, Cram.) — A suffusion of the Q^eddish-ground- 
colour covers apex, only leaving costa and hind- margin blackish ; the apical 
and suhapical ivJiite stripes being also oUiteratcd with the same hue.
