Fore wing: a transverse black spot in cell, and another irregular, oblique and broader at the disco- cellulars ; a discal series of spots in interspaces 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10, and the apex and termen black. The upper four spots of the discal series inclined obliquely outwards, the lower two obliquely inwards : the black edging to apex and termen narrowing poste- riorly, butwith slender linear projections inwards in the interspaces. Hind wing : a basal series of four or five black spots with a similar spot beyond in middle of cell and a subcostal black spot above it, followed by a discal series of obscure blackish spots and a minute postdiscal black dot in interspaces 4 and 6 respectively; finally, a broad black terminal band medially traversed by a series of small spots of the ground-colour. Most of the macular black markings are obscure, being only the spots on the underside seen by the trans- parency of the wing-membrane ; the inner edge of the black terminal band crenu- late. Underside : ground-colour ochraceous yellow or a paler tawny yellow. Fore wing paling to whitish on the apex, with the Fig. 85. black markings as on the upperside but Telchinia viola, $. \. somewhat blurred and diffuse. Hind wing: the black spots and black terminal band as on the upperside, but the spots more cle
