[Jan. 18, 2 • Apex of primaries above black-brown, crossed by a curved band of five orange divisions, the last of which touches the groundcolour ; a black dot on second median interspace; otherwise as in the male. Primaries below with the apical area pale ochraceous, bounded internally by an oblique series of four brown spots, a similar spot at centre of second median interspace, and a second on interno-median interspace touching the first median branch: secondaries sandy throughout, irrorated with brown ; discal spots brown; otherwise as in the male. Expanse of wings I inch 4 lines. 3 2, Bimbur, Cashmere (Capt. Reed); 3, Bombay (coll. F. Moore) ; 3 2, N. India (B.M.). This is a very distinct species, easily recognized by the coloration of the under surface: the examples from Bombay vary much in expanse, the typical male from Bimbur being intermediate and of the same size as the female. 11. Wings white or sulphur-yellow, the primaries with the area broadly golden-orange, bordered externally in the with black; in the female it is interrupted by an irregular black transverse bar, sometimes separated into distinct in two or three species the males have a few scattered black scales along the inner border of the orange. 118.

Primaries above whitish at base, becoming more and more distinctly sulphur-yellow to beyond the middle ; apical area bright golden-orange, with a linear black marginal border : secondaries white, with the outer margin narrowly sulphur-yellow, diffused. Primaries below pale sulphur-yellow, the apical area lemon-yellow, deepest at the margins ; three decreasing brown spots placed obliquely between the subcostal branches : secondaries fleshy pink, changing to pale yellow externally, reticulated with brown; several brownish spots beyond the middle; a black dot at end of cell.
