median bar SC^ — R' ; basal half or two-thirds of abdominal fold orange bnfF, paler 

 towards base. 



Underside ochraceous ; median, and greater part of discal, interspaces of both 

 wings and postdisco-marginal area of forewing down to M- densely shaded with 

 brown scaling which varies from burnt umber colour to cinnamon rnfous, the other 

 interspaces also partly shaded with snch scaling, but cell of forewing np to bar 4, 

 basi-snbmedian interspace M— SM^ a spot at ontside of each median bar of the 

 same wing, and the snbmedian and postdiscal interspaces of hindwing more or less 

 pnre ochraceous, sometimes whitish, especially the discal spots and submedian 

 interspace of cell of hindwing ; the latter wing often also with conspicuons creamy 

 white spots at outside of median bars, spot R- — W almost silvery white in some 



specimens ; bars black, or tawny, without white edges. Forewing : costal 



margin white or ochraceous at base, with a black dot 1 1 mm. from base, a second 

 black mark in front of cross-veins ; no basal cell-spot, cell-bar 2 convex distally, 

 bar 3 separated into a number of dots, bar 4 straight, obliquely placed, hooked at 

 extreme upper end, coutiunous with submedian bars M- — SM", the line crossing 

 M exactly at point of origin of M-, cell-folds brown apically ; median bars SC'' — R^ 

 continuous, forming a nearly straight line 5 mm. from apex of cell, median bars 

 R=— SM2 deeply concave distally, bar R^— R' i to 2 mm. from cell, bar R'~M' 

 more distal than bars M' — SM-, which are continuous or nearly so; a straight or 

 slightly curved brownish black line from costal to internal margin, 4^ mm. from 

 outer margin at SC"*, 10 mm. at SM^, partition SC^ — SC^ pointing obliquely basad, 

 part SC — R' represents apparently the postdiscal bars, while the rest is homologous 

 to the discal bars, at proximal side of line there is glossy white scaling in costal 

 region ; discal bars S(I^ — R' concave distally, bar SC — R^ touching at R' the 

 postdisco-discal line, the two bars, taken as a whole, at right angles to costal 

 margin ; postdiscal series of thin bars very irregular, the bars arrowhead-shaped, 

 pointing distad upon internervular folds, bar R^ — M' generally less obvious than 

 the others, often not visible, the cellule being scaled brown ; a snbmarginal series 

 of rather obscure, distally convex bars, bar at internal margin more proximal ; 



upper adpaarginal interspaces more or less white. Hindwing: basal costal bar 



curving di.stad, often reaching end of PC ; no costal subbasal bar, subbasal bar 

 (! — SC- also often absent ; submedian bars more or less concave proxiraally, upper 

 ones straight in specimens with darker underside, the series crossing M just at 

 point of origin of R', bar M' — (SM') nearer base of M-, 1 to 2 mm. distant from 

 cell-bar 4, submedian bars (SM') — SM' absent, but a bar behind SM', curving 

 basad ; median bars continuous (or almost so) from costal margin to R' or R-, the 

 line oblique, parallel to submedian line of bars, reaching R- 2 mm. from bar D, 

 continuous with the submedian line of the forewing, bars R=— (SM') concave 

 distally, bars (SM')— SM' continuous, reaching SM' 3 to 4 mm. before its end ; 

 discal bars fused together to a distally sharply defined, brownish black, straight 

 line, which is the continuation of the line of forewing, crossing C 9 mm. from end, 

 M at point of origin of M', and ending at abdominal margin near anal angle, discal 

 interspace as on forewing glossy, median bar R'— M' outside that line (or is this 

 bar a discal one, median bar R'— M' being part of the line ?) ; postdiscal bars 

 augulated at internervular folds, the angles pointing basad, bar R^— R' more evenly 

 concave, bars C — R^ more proximal than the others, the series nearly parallel to 

 outer margin, anteriorly and posteriorly approaching the discal line very closely ; 

 submarginal bars transverse, about 2 mm. from edge of wing, not abbreviated,
