  rufous-brown 
  anterior 
  wings, 
  with 
  a 
  

   broad 
  dark 
  ashy-brown 
  band 
  on 
  the 
  costa 
  invading 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  ; 
  

   about 
  half-way 
  along 
  the 
  costa 
  the 
  band 
  expands 
  and 
  covers 
  the 
  apical 
  part 
  of 
  

   the 
  wings, 
  and 
  extends 
  more 
  narrowly 
  along 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  to 
  the 
  outer 
  

   angle, 
  the 
  inner 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  dark 
  band 
  on 
  the 
  disc 
  is 
  irregular 
  ; 
  the 
  posterior 
  

   wings 
  are 
  bordered 
  by 
  a 
  broad 
  band 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  colour 
  as 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   wings, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  this 
  band 
  is 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  rufous-brown 
  lunules 
  

   extending 
  from 
  the 
  anal 
  angle 
  nearly 
  to 
  the 
  apex. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  paler 
  rufous-brown 
  with 
  a 
  broad 
  dark-brown 
  

   costal 
  band 
  in 
  which 
  are 
  several 
  pale 
  markings, 
  and 
  which 
  extends 
  a 
  little 
  

   beyond 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  interrupted 
  by 
  the 
  ground-colour 
  ; 
  the 
  

   apical 
  third 
  is 
  dark-brown, 
  interrujited 
  near 
  the 
  apex 
  l)y 
  two 
  whitish-brown 
  

   bands 
  of 
  markings 
  ; 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  are 
  pale 
  whitish 
  brown 
  crossed 
  from 
  

   near 
  tlie 
  inner 
  margin 
  by 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  seven 
  brown 
  bars 
  of 
  varying 
  tliickness, 
  

   the 
  third 
  l)ar 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  ceases 
  on 
  the 
  subcostal 
  nervure 
  ; 
  the 
  fourth 
  bar 
  is 
  

   interrupted, 
  and 
  becomes 
  linear 
  to 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  ; 
  the 
  fifth 
  bar 
  expands 
  into 
  

   a 
  large 
  oval 
  diffused 
  patch 
  on 
  the 
  costal 
  margin, 
  and 
  the 
  sixtli 
  and 
  seventh 
  bars 
  

   become 
  obsolete 
  towards 
  the 
  apex.
