Wet-season Brood (Figs. 1, la, $ ?). 
Male. Upperside white, the basal areas and the inner edge of the black oblique 
band in the forewing tinged with bluish-grey. Forewing with a broad sub-apical 
orange-red fascia (broader than in all other Indian species), the upper discocellular 
portion only of which is always present; the black inner oblique transverse border 
broad. Hind wing with the black marginal band broad and continuous. Upperside 
pale sulphur-yellow. Both wings with a few outwardly-disposed very slightly defined 
slender dusky strigse. Forewing with the basal area white, the subapical area 
medially flushed with pale orange ; a black large discocellular spot, centred with a 
white dot, a transverse discal series of small black spots, a black patch at the posterior 
angle, and a streak on the end of the middle median veinlet. Hindwing with a small 
black discocellular spot with white centre, and a transverse discal series of blackish- 
brown spots, of which the middle two, three, or four are the larger and pale-centred. 
Female. Upperside white as in the male, or very rarely the ground colour is 
slightly orange-tinted. Forewing with the basal area tinged with darker bluish- grey 
than in the male, the sub-apical orange fascia narrower, sometimes whitish apically,
