Himhciiiqs : with tiie three outer lines and cell-spot, and the radiating lines 

 bej'oud ; butt" streaks along cell and i)eyiind it, and along the submedian fold, and a 

 smaller one below the costal vein. 



Underside slaty grey, with three central blackish symmetrically bent lines, the 

 two outer ones diffuse ; diffused blotches on the outer lines ; the cell-spots deep 

 black ; a bhwrk streak from eosta of forewings near base. Head slate-colour ;

Forewiruji : witli costa straight, apex blunt ; hindmargin curved. 



Hindwings : with rounded hindmargin. 



Forewings of ? as well as c? with fovea. 



Aeitmlion : as in Tujridoptera H.8. and allies, but the veins are nmcli finer,

Forewings : orange, this colour being limited to a semicircular space from base 

 to middle of inner margin, with its upper edge rather irregular: the rest of the wing 

 velvety black, with all the veins slightly paler, the black running along costa and 

 narrowing to the base. 



Ilindtcings : with the basal area orange, within a slightly curving line from 

 middle of costa to a little above the anal angle. 



Underside similar, the black running up along costa of hindwings, but not 

 reaching base. Face, palpi, legs, pectus, antennae, vertex, and shoulders black ;

Foreiving$ : white, the costa and hindmargin broadly and unevenly smoky 

 black ; the costal border for three-fonrths of cell reaches to the median vein; a large 

 round black cell-spot touches the costal border and is generally connected with hind- 

 margin by a horizontal blackish streak of varying thickness; the hindmargiual border 

 generally has a small white apical sjiot ; this spot sometimes is much developed and 

 interrupts the inner edge of the marginal border along the veins, and in these cases 

 a fine whitish line appears above the anal angle.
