S ? . Upperside of body white ; head, pronotum and anterior edge of meso-

 also with two pale buff dots before, the antennae ; palj>i above more or less black : 

 antennae rufous brown or rufous, scaling of inner two-thirds of dorsal and lateral 

 surface black, of outer third white. Underside buff yellow, abdomen cream colour. 



S. Wings above, proximal area white, shading into pale ochreous or orange 



tawny on forewing, distal area bright chestnut tawny. Forewing : costal margin 



rather strongly curved, outer margin distinctly concave ; cell-bars often vestigial, 

 especially bar 3 ; bar D thin, cleft costally ; no submedian bars ; median bar 

 SC— SG*^ 8 to 10 mm. from cell, often fused with the discal band of patch-like 

 bars, median bars SC^— R^ 2 to 3 mm. nearer the cell, heavier, bar R^— R' 1 to 

 2 mm. from cross-vein, often touching bar D, sometimes completely fused with it, 

 bar R'— M' somewhat oblique, seldom at right angles to M', often angle-shaped 

 or resembling number 3, with the ends pointing basad, 3 to 4 mm. from base of 

 M', bar M'— M'" thinner, sometimes abbreviated behind, or vestigial, also oblique,
