bar D, median bars SC^'— R* within band, bars R'— M^ arched, patch M^— SM^ very 

 much smaller than the one before it ; one or two whitish or pinkish buff postdiscal 

 spots between SO* and R' about halfway between band and apex, the second spot 

 most])' absent, sometimes both scarcely traceable ; internervular folds with huffish 



longitudinal lines at margin ; fringe white except at veins. Hindwing ; median 



bars C — R^ present, standing in an oblicpiely curved row, bars R^— M" also often 

 indicated, more proximal than bar R'' — R^, a series of patches at the outer side of 

 these bars, the upper one white and largest, the other gradually becoming smaller 

 and more and more tawny ; discal bars luniform, dark tawny, or blackish, the 

 upper ones forming the border of the pale discal patches often obsolete, tlie series 

 strongly and obliquely curved ; postdisco-submarginal black patches very large, the 

 upper two always fused together, mostly the upper four not separated, patch 

 SC" — R' 10 mm. long, the patches becoming gradually smaller, they are separated 

 from the discal bars by ochraceous balfmoons ; white submarginal dots all present, 

 the upper two the largest, the last three sometimes vestigial; adinarginal interspaces 

 ochraceous, the last three joined along veins to postdiscal luuules of the same 

 colour, the upper four more restricted, separated between veins into dots, in which 

 case cellule S— SC' has no such admarginal spots, the black postdisco-submarginal 

 patches being completely fused to the margini-admarginal line, or the spots are not 

 divided at internervnlar fold ; admarginal line touching postdisco-submarginal 

 patches at veins C— R', extended to edge of wing, black in front, more tawny 

 behind, tails dark tawny or blackish, tips edged with buif or white, fringe white 

 between veins. 



Underside fawn-colour, basal to median bars pale chestnut, heavy, basal cell- 

 spot present on both wings. Forewing : cell-bar 4 touching M closer to M- than 



M', its shorter costal portion curved, about at riglit angles to the longer and 

 obliquely placed hinder portion : median bars M^ — SM^ very oblique, reaching 

 SM- 8 mm. from end, hence median interspace considerably widening behind ; 

 white band as above, posteriorly bordered by the discal bars, but as the series of 

 bars is almost parallel to margin it recedes costad more and more from band, the 

 interspace is pale drab ; discal bars outwardly bordered with creamy scaling which 

 forms generally halfmoons ; postdiscal bars represented by patches of variable and 

 different size, patches M' — SM' black, triangular, the others somewhat chocolate, 

 the snbmedian ones fused together, but generally incised externally upon (SM'), 

 patches R^ — M' and SC*^ — R' much smaller, often also patch R' — R'-, outwardly the 

 postdiscal spots bear whitish, triangular dots, or greyish Innules, excejjt the last 

 patch, which is bordered externally with a bluish grey, sometimes M-shaped, patch ; 



admarginal interspaces more or less grey. Hindwing : median series of bars 



obliquely curved from C to R^ then again from R' to (SM'), forming an angle upon 

 R', bars M^ — SM- forming an acute angle upon (SM') pointing basad, often reaching 

 the angle which is formed by the respective snbmedian bars and which points distad ; 

 basal and subbasal costal bars present ; a longitudinal line upon fold SM- — SM^ as 

 in oi-ilus ; SM- mostly chocolate in middle ; discal interspaces filled up by a white 

 band which is more or less widely separated from the discal lunules by rather well- 

 defined continuous patches of Isabella colour ; discal and postdiscal bars luniform, 

 the former not prominent, partly obsolete, separated from the postdiscal ones creamy 

 Innules which are somewhat thicker than the discal bars ; postdiscal bars chestnut, 

 bars C— SC^ and R'— R- are always patch-like, while bar R^ — M' and mostly also 

 bar SC — R' are thin ; submargmal white dots present, but spot R^ — JI' sometimes
