lower discocellular straight, very thin, and united to the median vein at the haso of its 
third hranch. 
•• Fore legs of the ruale very slender, short, and pectoral ; tlie femur as long as the remainder of 
the limb, curved outwardly about the middle, and clothed beneath with long silky hairs ; 
tibia very slender, scaly, clothed within with short hairs, as is also the tarsus, which is not 
above one fifth of the leugth of the tibia, very slender, simple, and esarticulate : of the 
female considerably longer than those of the male, slender and pectoral ; femur thickly 
clothed beneath with short silky hairs ; tibia slender, gradually thickened towards the tip, 
finely scaly ; tarsus gradually thickened, short, with several pairs of minute spines near 
the tip beneath, indicating the very short articulations, the three terminal ones being- 
extremely short, last joint without any claws or their appendages. 
" Himl legs moderately long and slender, scaly ; tibia with a few very minute spines, arranged 
wide apart in two rows, tibial spurs very short ; tarsi equal in length to the tibia, witli 
several rows of minute spines on the under surface, basal joint about half the length of the 
tarsus, terminal joint furnished with long sette on its upperside at the tip ; claws small, 
much curved ; paronychia bUaciniated, finely setose, the outer lacinia curved, broader, and 
obtuse, the inner lacinia small, narrow, slender, and rather pointed.

" Male and female. Upperside : both wings of different shades, varying from pure white to rich 
ochreous. Fore wing with the costal area, especially basally, more or less infuscated, crossed 
by numerous fine black lines — first a longitudinal one at the base of the cell, second an 
oblique one across the cell from the costa to the median nervure, the third crossing the cell 
obliquely continued to the submediau nervure of the hind wing, the fourth outwardly muc-h 
arched, confined to the cell, the fifth and sixth enclosing the discocellulars, the seventh, eighth, 
and ninth discal, continued across the hind wing, the eighth with a blackish smudge placed 
inwardly against it on the costa, and often with a more or less distinct, diffused, powdery, 
black, rounded spot beyond it in the lower discoidal interspace, the ninth the most prominent 
of all, marked with steel-blue from the second median nervule of the fore wing to the aual 
angle of the hind wing, followed by an irregular series of annular ochreous spots, more or less 
obsolescent in the middle of the wing, most prominent at the inner angle, where they are 
richer coloured ; the margin marked with four more fine black lines, the three outer ones 
placed upon a more or less decreasing fuscous ground. Hind wing with the discocellulars 
marked with a fine black line : the tail black, tipped and irrorated with white ; the anal lobe 
and anal angle marbled with numerous irregular, ferruginous, steel-blue and white spots ; the
