Twaco.—Male. Upperside dark purpurescent-brown, darkest and with blue 
reflections on the outer half of the forewing; cilia ochreous. Forewing with a broad 
oblique lilacine-white band extending from middle of the costa to the upper median 
veinlet, below which are three decreasing broad lunate spots, followed by a sub- 
marginal series of four triangular similar-coloured spots, which increase in size from 
the upper one; a slightly-defined pale ochreous spot-streak below the submedian near 
the angle, and an inner discal series of small ochreous spots sometimes being visible. 
Hindwing with a more or less indistinct submarginal row of small pale ochreous 
spots and marginal lunules, and sometimes a discal row of slender lunules; from 
the cell to below the median, and the abdominal fold, clothed with long fine hairs. 
Underside ochreous-yellow, merging to olivescent ochreous-brown on the outer 
borders. Both wings crossed by a slender subbasal zigzag dark ochreous-brown 
line with a pale outer border, and a broader brown sinuous discal band, followed by 
a contiguous less-defined paler outer-discal lunular fascia, and two submarginal 
sinuous fascia. Forewing also with three brown basal cell-spots and some disco- 
cellular spots. Hindwing also with one basal cell-spot, a discocellular spot, and a 
very small white-pupilled ocellule between the subcostals, and a similar ocellule with 
large white pupil between the lower medians. Body and legs beneath, palpi, and 
collar ochreous-yellow ; legs above and tip of palpi ochreous-brown; abdomen 
beneath with a basal glandular patch of dark grey scales. Female. Both wings with 
the basal area ochreous-brown, the outer area of the forewing dark purpurescent- 
brown, of the hindwing dark brown. Forewing with the lilacine-white oblique band 
and the two series of spots as in the male, but larger, the lower discal spot and a 
narrow streak below the submedian being partly ochreous; there is also two inner- 
discal rows of smaller ochreous spots, and a spot is sometimes present beyond end 
of the cell, and a streak bordering the inner-edge of the discocellulars. Hindwing 
with an inner-discal short row of small ochreous spots, a discal row of larger 
decreasing spots, the lower being lunate, followed by a submarginal row of broad 
pointed-spots, and then by a marginal continuous lunular-band. Underside pale 
ochreous-yellow with a slightly olivescent tint; the transverse discal band and 
markings as in the male.
