joined on the subcostal veinlet; the discocellular veinlets defined with a fine black 
line; beyond which is a bow-shaped figure composed of two fine lines joined at their 
lower ends, the outer line straight, the inner one curved, Avith their points resting 
on the second median veinlet and subcostal veinlet; below the cell a pair of streaks 
reaching the posterior margin, the origin of the first one being where the first 
median, and the outer one where the second median veinlet is given off, the interspace 
being thickly irrorated with black scales, leaving but little of the ochreous ground¬ 
colour visible; two transverse discal black lines from the subcostal to posterior 
margin, the outer line lunulate, the inner one sinuate, the two lines being nearest 
together at their middle, and both inwardly edged with black scales; a submarginal 
series of seven bright ochreous spots, broadly inwardly defined with black, one in 
each interspace except the two lower, which are smaller and placed between the lower 
median and submedian vein ; the outer margin broadly black, bearing two obsolete 
paler lines. Hindwing crossed by four black lines, the space between each pair, and 
between both pairs being thickly irrorated with black scales, especially at the lower 
extremity of the outer pair, where the ground-colour is entirely black, at the upper 
extremity the ground-colour increasingly to the costa is very pale ochreous ; a 
submarginal line composed of six lunules, each lunule having a bright ochreous spot 
placed outwardly against it; the outer margin more broadly black than in fore wing, 
the black portion ending at the lower median veinlet, bearing two intensely black 
marginal lines, the outer line defined on both sides with a pale fine line, the outer of 
these two pale lines becoming almost pure white from the tail to anal lobe ; the lobe 
and a round spot above it, is bright ochreous, defined, especially outwardly, with 
black ; there are also some small white, black, and metallic, steel-blue markings 
above the round ochreous-spot; tail black, the tip white. Underside pale ochreous, 
the outer portion of the wings, and on either side of the submarginal lunules on the 
hindwing, somewhat deeper ochreous, becoming ferruginous at the anal angle. All 
the markings of the upperside, but narrower and better defined, with no black 
irrorations, the outer margins, except the extreme edge, which is black, concolourous 
with the rest of the wings ; the veins throughout pale ochreous. Body rich ochreous 
above, marked with three black lines, beneath pale ochreous ; antennae black, the 
tip ochreous ” ( de Niceville lx.). 
Female. “ Differs from the male in being white below instead of pale orange- 
oclireous ; above it is only slightly tinged with ferruginous, and is somewhat like 
G. Thyodamas , except that the lighter spaces are heavily clouded with grey ”
