inwards, then curving outwards, uniting to the third median nervule almost immediately 
bej-ond its origin. 
" Hind xving subtriangular, all the margins of about equal length ; the anterior slightl_y, the 
outer much, rounded, the latter more or less deeply dentate ; the inner margin forming a 
distinct channel for the reception of the abdomen, emarginate beyond the termination of 
the internal nervure. 
" Fore legs of the male with the femur and tibia of about equal length, subcylindric, slightly 
compressed; tarsus one-jointed, shorter than the tibia, subcylindric, slightly compressed, 
rounded, or slightly slenderer, towards the apex. Of the female scarcely, if at all, longer 
than those of the male : femur and tibia of about equal length, nearly cylindric, the latter 
slightly spiny within; tarsus shorter than the tibia, five-jointed; the first joint nearly 
double the length of the rest combined, largest towards the apex ; the other joints trans- 
verse, successively shorter ; all the joints, except the fifth, armed on each side at the apex 
with a stout spine, covered more or less by a tuft of stiff hairs at the base of the following 
joint. 
" Middle and Jimd legs with the tibia? rather shorter than the femora, spiny ; the spurs distinct ; 
tarsi about equal in length to the tibioe, very spiny ; the spines above slender, much 
stronger at the sides and below, forming three well-defined series along the sole of the foot. 
First joint equal to the rest combined ; second rather dilated ; the spines, especially the 
lateral ones, longer than on the other joints. Claws elongate, grooved below, lobed at the 
base, acute, but little curved, except at the base and apex. Paronychia and pulvilli wanting 
or rudimentary. 
" Apdomen subcylindric, shorter than the inner margin of the hind wing." {Donhleday, I. c.)

" Male. Upperside rich orange-red, the apical half of the fore wing and the outer margin of the 
hind wing black. The cilia white, tipped with black at the end of the nervules. Pore wing 
with the cell crossed by three pairs of narrow somewhat irregular black lines, a discal series 
of narrow black linear spots from the third median nervule continued on the hind wing to the 
subcostal nervure, sometimes wanting, three small white subcostal spots beyond the end of the 
cell, a discal series of five decreasing white elongate lunules, their apices directed inwards, 
beyond which are seven reniform white spots, the two upper ones very indistinct, a marginal 
series of deeply-indented white lunules. "Hind wing with a discal series of six oval blackish 
spots, a submarginal series of faint blackish spots, placed in pairs between the veins, the 
margin with white lunules as on the fore wing, an additional white lunule defined on both 
sides with black at the anal angle, the abdominal margin yellowish. Underside reddish- 
ochreous. Fore wing with the cell crossed by three palo greenish bands, each band with two 
black lines outwardly, the third band at the end of the cell with an additional black line in
