side ; inter-nervular rays almost obsolete except at their inner ends. 
Hind-wing : whitish discal clouding much more developed ; neuration 
generally black finely edged, with whitish scales ; basal black broken 
up into one large mark at base enclosing three white spots, three rather 
large rounded spots above discoidal cell, and a small round spot in upper 
part of cell ; other black spots as on upper side ; inner-marginal fold 
more or less clothed with creamy-yellow hairs ; spots in hind-marginal 
border pale ochreous-creamy, in parts faintly tinged with pink (an 
eighth spot between submedian and internal nervures). 
Head, thorax, and abdomen black, with the following white and 
yellow markings, viz.: siqjcriorly^ two small white spots on front, and 
two on back of head ; two rather larger white spots on collar ; two 
white spots on patagia of thorax, and four large ochreous-yellow ones 
(one pair about middle, the other posterior) behind them ; on abdomen 
a pair of white spots on basal segment, and a pair of large ochreous- 
yellow ones on each other segment ; — inferiorly, the palpi are ochreous- 
yellow with the terminal small joint black ; thorax with a central 
ochreous-yellow stripe, and nine or ten good- sized white spots on each 
side ; abdomen with the segmental incisions and a stripe on each side 
pure-white. Antennte black. Legs black, with small white spots 
defining each joint. 
$ Much didler, the red in fore-wing replaced by pale greyish-ockreous, 
and in hind-wing by pale rvfous-ochreous ; the black spots in paler 
(some of them in whitish), more developed rings ; other black markings 
duller and less pronounced, especially the inter-nervular black rays of 
the fore- wing. Fore-wing : yellow-ochreous subapical bar paler and 
broader (its lower extremity in one example indistinctly separable from 
the discal colouring) ; immediately preceding its upper part an ill- 
defined, short, blackish oblique ray. Under smE.— Very much paler 
and didler, with only a faint reddish tinge over bases and on discs. 
Hind-wing : whitish-creamy, tinged with pale-yellow on the margins ; 
spots in hind-marginal border the same colour, partly tinged with red- 
dish ; before hind-marginal border some faint inter-nervular reddish 
rays. 
Head, thorax, abdomen, &c., coloured and marked as in 
Var. a.— J and 
J The subap)ical yellow-ochreous bar of fore-wing luholly wanting, 
so that the whole apical half is left semi-transparent fuscous-grey. 
The spots in hind-marginal border much larger than usual. (Two 
examples.) 
$ An oblique, narroiv, ivhite subap)ical ray in fore-wing, obsolete 
superiorly, inferiorly tinged with yellow-ochreous; ground-colour 
brighter and redder, especially in hind-wing near base ; spots in hind- 
marginal border not much larger than in ordinary ^. On under side 
the basal and discal rose-pink is much developed, and only a little paler 
than in the ^ . (One example ; exp. al., 4 in.)
