  Male. 
  Upperside. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  velvety-brown, 
  bordered 
  outwardly 
  from 
  

   the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  rather 
  broadly, 
  thence 
  to 
  the 
  apex 
  and 
  along 
  the 
  

   onter 
  margin 
  more 
  broadly, 
  with 
  brown-black, 
  the 
  black 
  border 
  more 
  narrow 
  

   towards 
  the 
  outer 
  angle, 
  where 
  it 
  curves 
  a 
  short 
  distance 
  along 
  the 
  inner 
  margin. 
  

   Posterior 
  wings 
  brown-black, 
  shading 
  into 
  brown 
  towards 
  the 
  base, 
  bordered 
  

   outwardly 
  by 
  an 
  orange-brown 
  band 
  ; 
  this 
  band 
  is 
  narrower 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  and 
  

   gradually 
  widens 
  to 
  the 
  anal 
  angle 
  ; 
  on 
  its 
  inner 
  edges 
  it 
  is 
  irregular,

  on 
  the 
  

   margin 
  at 
  the

  than 
  

   the 
  anterior 
  wings. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  a 
  streak 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  widest 
  

   at 
  its 
  outer 
  end, 
  another 
  at 
  its 
  end, 
  concave 
  on 
  each 
  side, 
  an 
  oblique 
  band 
  from 
  

   the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  costa 
  to 
  near 
  the 
  outer 
  angle, 
  about 
  halfway 
  between 
  which 
  

   and 
  the 
  apex 
  is 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  spots, 
  the 
  two 
  uppermost 
  the 
  largest 
  and 
  furthest 
  from 
  

   the 
  apex 
  ; 
  and 
  two 
  subapical 
  spots, 
  all 
  the 
  spots 
  and 
  band 
  being 
  greyish-white. 
  

   Posterior 
  wings 
  with 
  two 
  spots 
  in 
  the 
  cell, 
  that 
  nearest 
  the 
  base 
  the 
  largest 
  ; 
  

   beyond 
  the 
  cell 
  crossing 
  the 
  disc 
  is 
  a 
  curved 
  row 
  of 
  spots, 
  those 
  nearest 
  the 
  

   inner 
  margin

  ; 
  a 
  broad 
  band 
  of 
  orange-brown 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  with 
  

   black 
  spots 
  at 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  veins 
  as 
  on 
  the 
  upperside 
  ; 
  in 
  this 
  band, 
  further 
  

   from 
  the 
  margin, 
  between 
  the 
  veins, 
  is 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  white 
  conical 
  spots 
  centred 
  

   with 
  black, 
  the 
  white 
  spot 
  below 
  the

  median 
  nervule

   crossed 
  in 
  tlie

  with 
  an 
  oblique 
  band 
  of 
  three 
  white 
  spots 
  divided 
  by 
  the 
  

   nervures, 
  the 
  first 
  beyond 
  the 
  cell 
  indented 
  outwardly, 
  the 
  second 
  rather 
  smaller, 
  

   the 
  third 
  the 
  largest, 
  with 
  an 
  indication 
  of 
  another 
  spot 
  below 
  it 
  ; 
  beyond 
  the 
  

   baud, 
  nearer 
  the 
  apex, 
  between 
  the 
  veins, 
  is 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  five 
  white 
  spots, 
  that 
  

   nearest 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  the 
  smallest, 
  the 
  two 
  next 
  the 
  largest. 
  Posterior

   crossed 
  longitudinally 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  irregular 
  broad 
  white 
  baud, 
  the 
  inner 
  edge 
  of 
  

   which

  that 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  band 
  which 
  lies 
  between 
  the 
  two 
  upper 
  

   median 
  nervules 
  is 
  elongated 
  outwardly 
  until 
  it 
  becomes 
  confluent 
  with 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  

   white 
  spots, 
  which 
  cross 
  the 
  disc 
  nearer 
  the 
  outer 
  margin, 
  beyond 
  which 
  is 
  an 
  

   indistinct 
  series 
  of 
  black 
  spots, 
  bordered 
  outwardly 
  but 
  very 
  indistinctly 
  with 
  

   narrow 
  white 
  lines, 
  the 
  black 
  tips 
  at 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  veins 
  are 
  very 
  indistinct, 
  

   and 
  the
