  ITppEESiDE. 
  Dull 
  brown. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  slightly 
  convex 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  

   margin, 
  with 
  a 
  triangular 
  pale 
  fulvous 
  patch 
  on 
  the 
  disc 
  in 
  the 
  angle 
  formed 
  by 
  

   the 
  junction 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  lowest 
  median 
  nervules 
  with 
  the 
  median 
  nervure. 
  

   Posterior 
  wings 
  with 
  a 
  submarginal 
  rather 
  elongate 
  grey 
  lunule 
  before 
  the 
  anal 
  

   angle, 
  followed 
  by 
  a 
  triangular 
  spot 
  indistinctly 
  crowned 
  with 
  orange 
  ; 
  a 
  narrow 
  

   white 
  line 
  extends 
  along 
  the 
  outer 
  margin. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Differs 
  little 
  from 
  L. 
  Lachares. 
  Possibly 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  

   female 
  of 
  this 
  species.

  Male. 
  Upperside. 
  Dark 
  brown. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  a 
  transverse 
  broad 
  

   bright 
  orange 
  patch 
  on 
  the 
  disc, 
  commencing 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  discoidal 
  nervule, 
  

   extending 
  into 
  the 
  cell 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  ; 
  the 
  orange 
  patch 
  does 
  not 
  

   extend 
  so 
  closely 
  to 
  the 
  apex 
  or 
  so 
  near 
  the 
  base 
  below 
  the 
  cell 
  as 
  in 
  

   L. 
  Mahota, 
  Grose-Smith 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  black 
  streak 
  in 
  the 
  orange 
  patch 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  

   of 
  the 
  cell. 
  The 
  disc 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  is 
  centred 
  by 
  a 
  bright 
  orange 
  

   patch, 
  trifid 
  outwardly 
  on 
  the 
  median 
  nervules 
  ; 
  this 
  patch 
  is 
  more 
  restricted 
  in 
  

   size 
  than 
  in 
  L. 
  Mahota. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  pale 
  orange. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  a 
  basal 
  

   elongate 
  dark 
  streak 
  in 
  the 
  cell, 
  a 
  second 
  crossing 
  its 
  middle 
  and 
  expanding 
  

   very 
  broadly 
  below 
  it 
  towards 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  inner 
  margin, 
  a 
  third 
  streak 
  at 
  the 
  

   end 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  beyond 
  which 
  from 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  to 
  the 
  lowest 
  median 
  

   nervule 
  is 
  a 
  curved 
  band 
  closely 
  followed 
  by 
  a 
  shorter 
  and 
  narrower 
  one 
  ; 
  two 
  

   submarginal 
  bands, 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  inner 
  is 
  much 
  the 
  wider, 
  the 
  outer 
  being
