[Jan. 18, the subcostal area, discoidal cell (excepting its inferior angle), and base of interno-median area black-brown, somewhat diffused in the male : wings below sulphur-yellow, the male with the internal area of primaries white, the female with the disk white ; the male slightly tinted on outer border of primaries, and over the whole of secondaries, with ochraceous ; minute marginal black dots at the terminations of the nervures; primaries with a large black spot, with a squamose yellow centre at end of cell; three black spots near outer margin, below the median branches ; secondaries with a blackish subapical costal spot; a minute blackish annular dot at end of cell; outer border of upperside visible through the wing; entire wing sprinkled with black scales. Expanse of wings, 3 2 inches, § 1 inch 11 lines. 3, Scinde (Le Mesurier) ; $ , Agra, N . W . Punjab. Coll. Moore. 33.

This may possibly be a dwarfed form of the preceding species; but I think not. 34.
