Wet-season Brood (Figs. 3, 3a, ?). 
Imago. Male. Upperside paler salmon-pink than in Cyproea , the apex more 
produced. Forewing with the outer black band broader, the spots inside the band 
smaller, the inner margin of the band feebly sinuated inwardly between the veins, and 
barely enclosing a spot of the ground colour below vein 2, a black dentate spot at the 
end of the cell touching the costal band. Hindwing with the outer band broader and 
more complete than in Cyprcea and inwardly traversed by a row of small grey 
bordered spots of the ground colour. Underside pale salmon-yellow, a black dot at the 
end of each cell, the upper markings more or less visible through the wings, and the 
two discal black spots on the forewing well pronounced. 
Female. Upperside generally white, sometimes tinged with salmon-pink, but 
the coloured females are much rarer than the white ones; the black bands on both 
wings broader usually than in the males, the spots on the band usually larger and more 
numerous and complete, the black spot at the end of the cell of the forewing larger, 
the basal area thickly irrorated and more extensive ; underside tinged with grey, more 
or less ochreous-tinged along the borders of the forewing and the whole of the hind¬ 
wing, which has a large cell spot and a discal band of conjoined pinky-grey spots. 
Expanse, f $ 1 T ^ to 1-^j- inches. 
Dry-season Brood (Fig. 3b, $). 
Both sexes similar to the Wet-season form, but all the bands narrower and the 
spots smaller.
