I'orewings : glossy pale ochreons, with rnfous brown markings ; costal area 

 rufous, and marked with seven roundish or kidnej^-shaped darker brown blotches, 

 all margined with deep black along the costal edge, the intervening spaces pale 

 ochreons, each with three fine black points ; the three blotches nearest the base are 

 produced across the wing as basal, subbasal, and autemedian fasciae, with darker 

 edges and more or less laterally confluent, so that the whole basal two-fifths 

 appears rufous brown ; the fourth and fifth unite to form a central fascia, partly 

 interrupted in midwiug by the ochreons ground-colour; the other two do not reach 

 below the subcostal vein ; they are followed on the costa before the apex by two 

 small black spots, below which on the hindmargin is a round whitish spot with 

 black edges and containing a few black dots, and below this a largish black spot; 

 all the nervules are rufous, with two series of minute black points, the intervals 

 between them marked with short black dashes connected at their ends with the 

 points ; fringe rufous brown, with dark or black markings beyond the veins. 



Ilindwiiiys : suffused with pale rufous ; a narrow basal black-edged fascia, an 

 interrupted median fascia, containing a black blotch on inner margin, a black dash 

 on the snbmedian fold, and two black dots between them, beyond the edges of the 

 fascia ; the rest as in forewings, the hindmargin more rufons. 



Underside much brighter, the ground-colour paler and the rufous tints more 

 orange ; costal pale spaces enlarged into pale triangles, with three black converging 

 streaks ; the cell and nervules with black and ochreous lines ; the apical round spot 

 silvery white, with a small white spot above and below it. Head, thorax, and
