There are a few pale blue spots at the base of the wing and one of the same colour at the end of the cell. There are nine dark lemon-yellow spots on the fore wing, as follows :—a broad subapical spot, partly sub- divided internally by the nervules, which are marked by black scales on the side of the spot toward the base of the wing; a large subquadrate spot near the end of the cell; another larger irregularly shaped spot between veins 1 and 2 immediately below the subquadrate spot last mentioned, and separated from it only by the black line of the median vein ; beyond this spot, toward the anal angle, is a small sub- quadrate spot; toward the base on the lower margin of tiie Fio-. cell a small triangular spot; just below it another equally small or smaller spot; on the upperside of vein 1, not halfway from the base, a moderately large subtriangular spot; two smaller spots nearer the base on the upperside of vein 1 ; on the inner margin about the middle a large spot. The hind wings are dark lemon-yellow, broadly bordered with black. On the inner margin, which is densely clothed with long brownish hair, the black border is diffuse, while on the outer margin it is boldly and sharply defined on the inner edge. Between veins 2 and 4 the outer margin is somewhat strongly produced inwardly. The fringes of the secondaries on the upperside are black, except at the outer angle, where they are conspicuously white. On the underside the markings are, in the main, as on the.
