portion of the base, a narrow black spot across the end of the cell, outer marginal 
border broadly blackish, nearly even in width, crossed by very thin white lines, one in 
each interspace, in one example these lines thicken inwardly. Hindwing with the 
abdominal portion thickly irrorated with blackish scales, a broad band along costa and 
exterior border, its inner margin obscure and marked with a series of large whitish 
spots. Underside. Forewing bright orange-yellow, the costal and outer parts 
greenish, the outer portion limited by a row of black spear-shaped spots in the interspaces, 
decreasing in size upwards where they curve inwards on to the costa, a black spot at 
the end of the cell. Hindwing with the ground colour pale primrose-yellow, covered 
with green irrorations, a discal row of brown spots limiting the outer and paler portion, 
the inner part of the wing densely irrorated, a white spot on an orange-red small space 
at the end of the cell with a small pale smear on its inner side. 
Female. Upperside. Forewing duller in colour, the veins more heavily marked, 
the cell spot larger, the marginal band much broader, with a middle row of spear- 
shaped, whitish spots. Hindwing entirely covered with pale blackish scales, a large

marginal band, very slightly broadest at the apex, its inner edge uneven, but almost 
uniformly rounded, in some examples running somewhat in on the lower margin of the 
wing, all the veins prominent. Cilia white and crimson. Hindwing also with the 
veins prominent, the blue-black irrorations occupying the abdominal third of the wing, 
sometimes the abdominal half, an apical dull black band, narrowing upwards on to and
