Wet-season Brood (Figs. 2, I, 2a, £). 
Imago. Inhabits desert and sandy tracts. Male. Upperside salmon-pink of a 
duller colour than in either of the preceding forms. Forewing with the base suffused 
with black irrorations, extending somewhat on the median and lower veins, costal band 
broad, entering the cell, apical portion of the outer band not so broad as in the other 
forms, its inner margin curved to vein 4, when it is looped twice towards the margin, 
the lower loop being joined to a large square black spot above the lower margin, 
leaving a large spot of the ground colour near the angle; the lower portion of the 
outer band is broad; the apical portion is crossed by a whorl of spots and some sub¬ 
marginal streaks of the ground colour. Ilindwing with a very broad costal band, the 
outer band also broad, occupying often a third of the wing, the abdominal marginal 
third heavily irrorated with black, leaving but a small portion of the centre of the wing 
salmon-pink, there are usually four or five salmon-pink spots in the marginal band 
well separated from the margin and some salmon-pink dots close to the margin, cilia 
brownish with white tips. Underside much as in the other forms, but on the forewing 
there is a black line across the cell thickened into a spot kindward, and often on the 
hind wings a distinct indication of a discal whorl of spots. 
Female. Upperside duller and paler in colour, sometimes whitish in the discs 
of both wings. Forewing with the basal irrorations usually more extensive, the cell 
spot much larger than in the male, not infrequently forming part of the costal band 
and running in with it to the base. Ilindwing with the discal band of spots in the 
outer black band usually complete, one in each interspace; no costal band. Underside 
paler and brighter coloured than in the male. Forewing with a salmon-pink suffusion 
on the basal third, the bands and spots showing very distinctly through the wing. 
Hindwing irrorated with grey atoms, a small pink and red cell spot, and a well- 
pronounced discal whorl of conjoined pinkish-brown spots. 
Expanse, I 1 T 6 ¥ to 1 t 7 q- inches. 
Dry-season Brood (Figs. 2b, I, 2c ?). 
Male. Upperside salmon-pink, brighter than in the Wet-season form, the basal 
irrorations lighter and less extensive, the exterior band of the Ilindwing narrower, its 
inner portion rapidly paling into the salmon-pink colour of the wing, which 
consequently covers a much larger space, the spots near the margin larger and more
