Description : Female. Upperside, both wings with, the fulvous 

 coloration of the male almost entirely overlaid with dark bronzy- 

 greenish scales, all the black markings larger. Forewing with the 

 middle spot in the cell placed upon a fulvous ground, the disc with 

 fulvous streaks between the veins, a submarginal series of whitish 

 spots. JSindmng with a prominent series of rich fulvous spots, extend-

 through his native collectors in several places in Tihri Garhwal at 

 considerable elevations in August. The specimens were mostly
