Imaco.—Male. Upperside dark olivescent blackish-brown, bronzy in some 
lights. Cilia broadly alternated with white. orewing with an indistinctly apparent 
dusky-black inner-discal glandular fascia which is clothed with moderately-long 
broadly-oval dentate-tipt pale scales, very long narrow foliate acutely dentate-tipt 
scales, interspersed with long blackish androconia with lengthened bulbous base and 
short hair-like end and tasselled tip; across the disc is a series of well-separated 
small white spots, with a divergent spot and slender streaks to the costa beyond the 
cell, and with an intervening black spot between the radials. Hindwing crossed by a 
slightly-recurved medial narrow sinuous-edged white band cut by the dark veins, the 
contour of the outer edge of the band being somewhat angulated at the upper median 
veinlet, and the entire band decreasing in width to the analangle. Underside paler, 
but brighter coloured, and of a more or less olivescent ochreous-brown. Forewing 
with the costal and apical border thickly mottled with darker strigze edged with 
ochreous; discal band broader, duller in tone, and olivescent-white, more diffused 
externally, the lower portion and the divergent portion each continuous, the subapical 
black spot with white pupil and conspicuous. Hindwing densely mottled with brighter 
olivescent-ochreous edged blackish transverse strigee, some of which at the end of 
the veinlets are edged with cinereous white, the disc most clouded, and with a more 
or less apparent series of three or four whitish spots; medial transverse band 
olivescent ochreous-white, broader than on upperside and more angulate externally. 
Female. Upperside. Forewing with the transverse series of spots somewhat 
longitudinally narrower and elongated ; the band on the hindwing more regular in 
its course, but of the same width asin male. Underside as in the male.
