Fciiialt (foi-tunei, Gray). " The fore wings are yellowish white, with many irregular black spots 
which vary in size, some of them so placed that they apparently form five bands across the 
wing ; the external margin is also black. The hind wings also yellowish white, with a 
basal band and three irregular curved bands of black spots ; the second band from the base 
is broadest at the anterior angle, and marked with a small crimson spot ; while that portion 
towards the anal angle is margined exteriorly by an irregular crimson band, which extends 
from the angle to the fifth nervure, the third or marginal band is ornamented on the deep 
black below the crimson by a series of pale blue lunes. The under surfaces of all the wings 
are less prominently marked, otherwise they are similar to the upper side, except that on 
the fore wings there are two crimson spots, one on the band near the costal area, and the 
other on the posterior margin. 
" Found, according to Mr. Fortune, on the sides of the hills." {Omrj, P. Z. S.) 
\'ar. creSSOnii, Eeakirt. " Fimale. Diflers from Serichws fortiinei {montela, $ ) in the following 
particulars : — 
" Fore wings have the fifth transverse black band connected with the margin by dilated black 
nervules, forming a submarginal row of small yellow lunes. 
" Hind wings have the crimson band wider, and the two last sections are lunate, and separated 
from each other and the remainder of the band by intervening black lines, below this, four 
pale blue lunes : a very large yellow patch on the costal margin near the outer angle ; a large 
lune of the same colour, situated on the angle : tail, yellow at base and tip, intermediate 
portion black, very long, 1-25 inches, and narrower than in any other species of the genus. 
" Below : the primaries have four red spots, two just beyond the extremity of the diseoidal 
cell, and the others on the inner margin. Secondaries, have two red spots on the costal 
border, and the space posterior to the crimson band is irrorated with blue atoms, not formed 
into distinct figures, but covering the whole surface. 
" Thorax and head black, a yellow line on each side of the thorax, below yellow, with red spots. 
Abdomen yellow, a broad dorsal band, two rows of lateral dots, and two ventral rays, all 
black. 
•■ Expanse 3-13 inches." {Real-irt, I. c.) 
\',ir. telmona, Gray. (Plate XXXIIJ. fig. 7, S .) Mcde. "The fore wings ochraceous, with 
the base black, and the other black markings placed as in S. montela, though not qtiite so 
prominent, but the short band which crosses the wing just beyond the costal area and the 
spot on the posterior margin are both ornamented with a small crimson spot. The hind 
wings have the inner margin black, and are without the basal spot in the costal area ; the 
crimson baud at the anal angle extends, as vaS. fortunei, to the fifth nervure, and like it also 
the spot on the anterior margin is ornamented by a crimson mark, which is more equally 
jjlaced with the commencement of the crimson band that advances to the anal angle than in 
the other species : the black space at the anal angle is less in size, but is furnished with blue 
lunes. The under surface of the fore wings is marked like the upper side. That of the 
hind wings is also similar to the upper side, but the black spots on the anterior margin are 
both ornamented with crimson ; the lengthened crimson band is marked between the second 
and third nervures from the anal angle with a white lune, and there is also a less quantity of 
black at the anal angle." {Gray, P. Z. S.)
