Variety a. Male. 
This differs by the shortness and narrowness of the band on the primary wings. The scarlet spots on tire 
secondary wings are much longer and one more in number than in the male previously described.

Male. — The primary wings black, with the summits clearer ; a narrow oblique band of white, which com- 
mences in the middle of the interior margin and extends to the second median nervule with some white scales 
towards the first median nervule. The secondary wings acutely dentated and black, with the border between 
the dentations white ; a transverse band of five and sometimes of six unequal spots of carmine ; the two at the 
anal angle small and equal, the third and fourth larger and equal, while the fifth is much smaller. 
The under surface of the primary wings is similar to the upper side both in colour and marking ; the base is 
spotted with carmine. The under surface of the secondary wings is like the upper side ; but the spots are six 
in number, of a less size, and of a crimson colour, with the fore part of the two largest pinkish white ; the base 
has two spots of carmine.

Male. PI. IX. f. 3. — The primary wings deep black, rather clearer at the summits ; an oblique band of 
yellowish white scales, which commences from the middle of the inner margin, and extends to the middle of the 
second median nervule ; and there are some scattered minute white scales in advance and on the sides of this 
band. The secondary wings deep black, with the borders between the dentations narrowly fringed with white ; 
a transverse band composed of five unequal spots of rich carmine ; the first at the anal angle is subquadrate, the 
next two are nearly equal and oblong, the fourth is smaller and oblong, while the fifth is only indicated by some 
rather scattered scales, hut in some specimens this spot is not apparent ; the inner margin is partly scarlet and 
partly black. 
The under surface of the primary wings is bronzy black, with the white band as prominent as on the upper 
side ; the base has two spots of scarlet. The under surface of the secondary wings is bronzy black, with the 
same transverse band as is seen on the upper side, but it is composed of five distinct spots ; that at the anal 
angle is oblique and entirely of pale scarlet ; the three next are rosy white, with the outer ends pale scarlet ; the 
fifth spot is rather large and entirely pale scarlet ; while at the base of the wing there are two deep scarlet spots. 
Female. PI. IX. f. 4. — The primary wings brownish black, with a large space of huff- white, which is divided 
into four spots by the median nervure and by the bases of the first and second median nervules. The secondary 
wings brownish black, with the outer margin between the dentations slightly bordered with white ; a large space 
in the middle of the wing of a pale carmine, which is towards the anal angle partly ochraceous ; it is composed 
of six unequal spots, one of which occupies nearly the outer half of the discoidal cell, while the others are placed 
below the cell, thus occupying the basal portion of the spaces between the nervules, except between the first and 
second discoidal nervules, where it is partly marked with pale carmine ; and the space between the third median 
nervule and the inner margin is also of the same colours. 
The under surface of the primary wings is bronzy black, with the same spot as is exhibited on the upper side 
but the base of the wfing has two scarlet spots. The under surface of the secondary wings is also bronzy black,
