Under- side : ground-colour darker ; the transverse short dark striae more numerous ; the ochraceous and white markings of the upperside replaced by pinkish-white, similar but broader and more diffuse markings, the discoidal streak on the fore wing only slightly ochraceous ; the terminal half of the hind wing suffused with pur- plish over the dark markings and more closely set with transverse dark striae. Antennas, head, thorax and abdomen as in R. hordonia. In the dry-season form the ochraceous and white markings on the upperside are broader ; between the postdiscal and subter- minal transverse grey lines is a more or less distinct transverse ochraceous line ; the postdiscal band on the hind wing slightly broader, sinuous, and more sharply defined. Underside similar to that in the wet-season form, but the short transverse dark striae more numerous, as they are in the d^-season form of R. hordonia. Exp. 6 2 41-52 mm. (1-62-2-04&q
