Female. PI. XII. f. 7. — The primary wings yellowish white, with the base powdered with black scales; 
the discoidal cell crossed in the middle and at the apex by two short bands of black, reaching only to the median 
nervure ; just beyond the cell is another band of black, which reaches straight to the second discoidal nervule 
and curves to the base of the third median nervule, and then curves again to the inner margin ; along the outer 
margin are two bands of pale black, the inner one much curved, while the outer margin is edged externally with 
white scales. The secondary wings yellowish white, with the basal portion of the inner margin black, having 
scattered white scales ; along the outer margin are tw r o bands of pale black, inner one unequal in width, having 
a row of five deep black sublimate spots along its outward border ; each of these has some scattered white 
scales on the inner portion ; the outer band is divided by the nervules, which gives it the appearance of being 
formed into lengthened spots, while the outer edge is fringed with white scales ; the anterior margin has near 
the middle a red spot surrounded with black ; a large sublimate spot of red surrounded with black, and with a 
few white scales on the outer side, is placed in the middle between the second subcostal and the first median ner- 
vules ; and at the anal angle an abbreviated narrow line of red bordered with black, which extends from the 
inner margin to the second median nervule. 
The under surface of all the wings is very similar in colour and markings to the upper side, but the latter are 
not so prominent. 
In Collection (Brit. Mus.) from Chinese Tartary, where it was found by Major Charlton (with the 
other species mentioned as from the same locality) at an elevation of 15,000 feet.
