HVwi/A" above black. Forewing: a broad discal band from internal margin to 



JI', abont 12 mm. wide posteriorly and •") mm. at M', creamy white: fused with 

 it is a large patch occupying the intersjiace between cell-bars 3 and 4; the basal 

 area of wing, moreover, overshaded witli creamy scaling which is less dense basally 

 and costally; cellular ])atch concave distally: apex of coll nearly filled up by creamy 

 scaJes, except a small spot at upper angle ; outer edge of discal band indented 

 at SM", then convex to M', preceded before M' by a small triangular creamy white 

 spot, which often reaches 1{ ; very seldom a trace of median spot W — 1{' close to 

 cell: ujiper median spots S( '■'- H' almost pure white, concave proximally, very 

 slightly separated from each other, preceded by one or two white lines; submarginal 

 sjiots white, upper two triangular, third minute ; submedian ones mostly obsolete, 



sometimes glaucous. Hindwing: a discal creamy white liand extends from costal 



margin to (SM') and hence curves round to abdominal margin, where it is dilated, 

 it gradually narrows from SC'- to (SM'); the whole basal area and disc at ontside 

 of band covered with creamy scaling, but having a glaucous tint on account of the 

 black colour showing through from the underside of the wing: a series of postdiscnl 

 jiale glaucous Innules from (' to SM-, the u])per ones thin, joined to the creamy are;i 

 or fused with it; the black postdiscal and submarginal jiatches resp. spots are fused.
