half as long as the costa of the forewing, club evenly formed, no secondary sexual

Imago. —Male. Upperside scarlet-red. Forewing with broad black costal and 
outer marginal borders, the costal band has its inner margin somewhat curved, being 
limited by the median vein, consequently it is broadest at the apex, its inner edge on 
the outer margin is uneven, and at the hinder angle the black band is continued for a 
short distance along the hinder margin ; the rest of the hinder margin is narrowly 
suffused with black, and so is the sub-median vein. Ilindwing with the costa, base 
and abdominal area suffused with blackish, the abdominal fold brown, outer marginal 
line finely black, anal lobe black with a small red mark in it ; tail black, tipped with 
white, the veins often more or less finely black. Antennae black, ringed witli white, 
club with a red tip and with a white streak on the underside below it. Underside 
greyish-brown, markings indicated by their white edges. Forewing with a thick bar, 
with a pale white line splitting it. at the end of the cell; a discal almost straight rather 
broad band narrowing gradually hindwards, a sub-marginal series of thick lunular 
marks, edged outwardly with white, its lower end close to the lower end of the discal 
band. Hindwing with a thick bar with a pale white line running through it, at the 
end of the cell; a discal series of seven conjoined spots, the upper six squarish, the 
seventh angled, the series irregular, the second spot a little outwards, the fifth a little 
inwards, touching the lower end of the spot of the discoid# hand, decreasing in size 
hindwards, the angular spot running in on to the abdominal margin one-tliird above
