collar white except margins. Palpi rather short, crimson. Thorax 
crimson, 9 white spots. Abdomen hairy, orange. Forewings elon¬ 
gate, rather dilated, terraen rather obliquely rounded ; 7 separate,

costa enclosing a small white spot; four anastomosing streaks 
connecting this with a slender fasciate streak from | of dorsum to 
costa before middle, its upper part sometimes interrupted and costal 
edge white ; a dorsal streak from base to middle; beyond this lines 
(sometimes partly interrupted) on margin of cell, and interneural 
between veins 2-10, not reaching margin, streaks above and below 
fold not reaching end of cell, and a furcate subdorsal streak, its 
upper fork running to tornus, a more pronounced streak from above 
middle to near tornus but not reaching it; a streak rising from 
middle of vein 9, strongly excurved in disc and running to dorsum 
beyond middle ; short lines from termen and apical part of costa 
along all veins : cilia dark red, lighter towards tips. Hindwings 4

reaching margin, others not; two streaks within cell not reaching 
margin, upper sometimes interrupted ; a dash just beneath middle 
of costa ; an attenuated dorsal streak, a spur rising from this near j, 
whence an oblique streak crosses wing to upper margin of cell ; 
strong streaks above and below fold to about end of cell, and an 
irregular sinuate subdorsal streak from near first transverse streak 
to second; a series of marks or small spots forming a more or less 
disconnected streak from dorsum at | to a spot touching termen
