Imaco.—Male. Upperside. Forewing dark purplish-brown, the base ferreginous- 
brown; crossed by a very prominent oblique medial pale yellow band, which is inter- 
sected by the dark veins, the band extending from the costa beyond the cell to the 
lower median veinlet, and is continued below it by a small coalescent speckled spot of 
the same colour; a lilacine-white spot before the apex, and a less-defined speckled 
spot obliquely below it. Hindwing with the basal area dark ferruginous-brown, the 
discal area broadly to the middle of the outer margin being purplish-black ; the base 
of the costa pale ochreous-yellow; the apical border narrowly and the posterior 
border very broadly to above the anal angle deep orange-yellow ; a large black sub- 
costal glandular patch and overlapping out-spreading fine long hairs, these hairs also 
extending over the cell to near the abdominal margin above the anal angle, pale 
brown; a narrow pale yellow glandular pouch bordering the middle of the internal 
vein and enclosing a small tuft of short brown hairs. Underside. Forewing with the 
oblique discal band pale ochreous-yellow and extending entire from the costa to above 
the posterior angle; the basal area densely woolly and ochreous-grey ; the inner 
border of the oblique band and the apical area dark chestnut-red, the latter crossed 
by a darker line extending from before the apex and with a small white mner costal 
spot, the area between this line and the yellow band being marked with blackish 
strigee, and the posterior angle also marked with similar strigz ; the grey basal cell 
area crossed by a blackish recurved streak, a chestnut-red cordate spot, another 
above it on the costa and a smaller spot at base of the cell. Hindwing with the basal 
area from the costa to near the anal angle ochreous-grey, densely woolly and traversed 
by an irregular chestnut-red streak extending from the costa across the cell, and with 
an inner and an outer red spot also within the cell; the disc crossed by a broad, 
strongly-defined chestnut-red band which decreases in width from the costa to anal 
angle, the outer edge of the band being blackish and irregularly angulated inward 
between the upper subcostal and the middle of the cell, and incurved between the lower 
median veinlets, in both these angulated parts it is white-bordered externally; the 
outer area from the irregular-edged band dark orange-yellow, traversed by an upper
