narrower than the rest, widening gradually hindwards down to the lower margin, and 
its inner margin is sinuate; across the middle of the apical portion are four or five 
blue-grey spots, the upper ones the largest. Hindwing with the outer band occupying 
nearly half the wing, the costal space pale greyish, the abdominal marginal space very 
broadly and densely irrorated with black and blue-grey scales, reducing the salmon- 
pink central space very much ; cilia of both wings white. Underside. Forewing pale 
salmon-pink with four large black spots, one at the end of the cell, and three in a row 
on the lower disc near the outer margin ; the first round and small in the interspace 
below vein 4 ; the second in the next interspace a little nearer the margin, larger and 
square; the third (the largest) in the next interspace, a little inwards, expanding 
hindwards on to the lower margin. Hindiving yellowish with some slight pinkish 
suffusion inwards, and greenish suffusion outwards, and covered with minute black

the Forewing is more brightly suffused with salmon-pink, the cell spot and the lowest
