carmine, with a white spot beneath apex and another below 

 middle of hindmargin, between these two spots tho basal third 

 is carmine, central third white, apical third grey, extremities 

 above apex dark grey. Hindwings pale ashy-grey, cilia whitish. 



An extremely beautiful and distinct species, of which the male 

 is as yet unknown.
