spur towards the ocellic apot, and with the ocelHc spot encloses a blackish- 

 brown elongated dorsal spot ; the latter contains a few whitish scales on 

 dorsum, and the white spot is similarly marked with brown dots The 

 ocellus is large, the centre is ochreous, crossed by four short black lines ; 

 below it is gray, and the vertical side bars are shining gray ; at the upper 

 end of the inner bar a gray prominence points toward the outer end of the 

 white dorsal spot. Costa is marked with four black dots, between middle 

 and apex, each outlined by whitish ochreous lines; below costa these lines 

 are leaden-metallic, and proceed horizontally below costa towards 

 termen. Below apex the black terminal line is cut by a white dash, and 

 a similar interruption occurs at the tornus. Cilia leaden-cinereous. 



Hind wing whitish-gray at base, shaded with smoky-black outwardly ; 

 cilia light gray, with a black basal line; under side grayish-white. Under 

 side fore wing smoky brown, costal spots repeated.

 slightly inward to dorsum, which it reaches beyond inner third; i.t contains 

 a streak of cream-white on its inner half on the dorsal margin, which at the 

 outer end sends a while shade above middle of wing ; the outer edge 

 touches margin of basal area below the costa, the upper edge of this 

 shade connects with two whitish costal spots ; the dark spots, outlined by 

 these white streaks, are ochreous in the middle and outlined with black. 

 There is a cream-white, narrow, angulated fascia in middle of wing, divided
