  Female. 
  Upperside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  fuHginous-brown, 
  with 
  the 
  outer 
  half 
  of 
  

   the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  in 
  an 
  oblique 
  direction, 
  from 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  costal 
  

   margin 
  to 
  near 
  the 
  outer 
  angle, 
  fuliginous 
  darker 
  brown. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  with 
  

   a 
  submarginal 
  row 
  of 
  markings 
  of 
  that 
  colour 
  between 
  the 
  first 
  subcostal 
  and 
  

   the 
  second 
  median 
  nervules, 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  upper 
  one 
  extends 
  inwardly 
  about 
  

   halfway 
  across 
  the 
  disc, 
  the 
  second 
  is 
  more 
  restricted, 
  and 
  the 
  third 
  is 
  more 
  

   linear, 
  and 
  crosses 
  the 
  space 
  between 
  the 
  veins. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  bright 
  tawny-brown. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  the 
  

   basal 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  pale 
  brown, 
  divided 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  by 
  a 
  dark 
  brown 
  streak, 
  

   . 
  followed 
  by 
  two 
  dark 
  brown 
  lines 
  centred 
  with 
  pale 
  brown 
  ; 
  beyond 
  the 
  cell 
  

   crossing 
  the 
  space 
  between 
  the 
  lowest 
  subcostal 
  and 
  upper 
  median 
  nervules 
  is 
  

   another 
  pale 
  brown 
  spot 
  bordered 
  internally 
  by 
  dark 
  brown 
  ; 
  beyond 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  

   large, 
  outwardly 
  oval, 
  brownish-black 
  patch, 
  which 
  covers 
  the 
  middle 
  part 
  of 
  

   the 
  disc, 
  shading 
  into 
  brown 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  side, 
  which 
  is 
  nearly 
  straight 
  ; 
  in 
  

   this 
  patch 
  are 
  situate 
  three 
  silvery-white 
  spots 
  between 
  the 
  discoidal 
  and 
  middle 
  

   median 
  nervules, 
  in 
  an 
  oblique 
  direction 
  near 
  the 
  outer 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  black 
  patch 
  ; 
  

   on 
  the 
  inner 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  black 
  patch, 
  at 
  its 
  lower 
  end, 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  pale 
  brown 
  ear- 
  

   shaped 
  spot 
  crossing 
  the 
  median 
  nervules 
  ; 
  outside 
  the 
  black 
  patch 
  is 
  a 
  pale 
  

   bro\Mi 
  band 
  which 
  follows 
  its 
  contour, 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  which 
  it 
  bends 
  upwards 
  to 
  

   the 
  costal 
  margin 
  ; 
  near 
  the 
  apex 
  between 
  the 
  veins 
  are 
  three 
  elongate 
  silver 
  

   spots, 
  inwardly 
  acute, 
  rounded 
  outwardly, 
  with 
  a 
  black 
  triangular 
  spot 
  in 
  the 
  

   middle 
  of 
  the 
  uppermost 
  spot. 
  Posterior 
  wings, 
  basal 
  third 
  pale 
  brown, 
  with 
  

   a 
  series 
  of 
  dark 
  brown 
  streaks, 
  which 
  cross 
  the 
  cell 
  from 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  to 
  

   the 
  median 
  nervure, 
  below 
  which 
  between 
  the 
  veins 
  are 
  three 
  dark 
  brown 
  

   streaks 
  ; 
  across 
  the 
  disc 
  at 
  its 
  middle 
  is 
  a 
  curved 
  pale 
  brown 
  band 
  broadly 
  

   bordered 
  inwardly 
  with 
  dark 
  brown, 
  three 
  elongate 
  oval 
  silvery 
  streaks 
  are 
  situate 
  

   between 
  the 
  veins 
  towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  submarginal 
  row 
  of 
  six 
  

   elongate 
  silvery 
  bars, 
  those 
  between 
  the 
  two 
  lowest 
  median 
  nervules 
  and 
  between 
  

   the 
  lowest 
  subcostal 
  nervule 
  and 
  the 
  discoidal 
  nervule 
  centred 
  with 
  black.

  On 
  the 
  upperside 
  this 
  butterfly 
  somewhat 
  resembles 
  the 
  next 
  species 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  underside 
  it 
  

   is 
  very 
  different 
  from 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  genus.
