Forewing : median bar R' — M' halfmoon-shapcd, touching both veins, bars SC— R- 



twice as long as broad. Hindwing : submarginal interstitial spots in middle of 



black disco-submarginal band, outer edge of this band somewhat dentate between 

 the veins ; admarginal interspaces R'^ — M- partly, anal one totally, scaled 

 olive-buff. 



UiK/erside. Forewing : postmedian intersjiace of cell paler than the rest of 



the cell, whitish, a little, or not, broader than the apical interspace of cell; submediau 

 bar M' — M" proximal of base of M' ; median bars SC — R" forming a curved line, 

 bar SC' — R' at right angles to veins ; black patch M" — SIP in posterior angle 



about half the size of the respective postdiscal interspace. Hindwing : discal 



and submarginal interspaces grey or drab ; discal and ])ostdiscal, luniform, bars 

 parallel, the series of nearly equal distance from C to M', the interspaces between 

 them greenish ochraceous, discal bar SC^ — R' in the middle of the wing, 6 mm. 

 distant from base of R", measured between veins, discal bar R* — R' 2 mm. distant 

 from median bar R" — R', measured along R-, the halfmoon formed by the discal
