  rufous-orange, 
  with 
  tliroe 
  metallic 
  bands 
  towards 
  the 
  base, 
  the 
  first 
  subcostal, 
  

   the 
  space 
  above 
  it 
  redder 
  than 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  wing, 
  the 
  second 
  oblique, 
  nearly 
  

   reaching 
  the 
  extremity 
  of 
  the 
  first, 
  the 
  third 
  nearly 
  complete. 
  Beyond 
  these 
  

   are 
  rows 
  of 
  long 
  metallic 
  spots, 
  the 
  first 
  consisting 
  of 
  one 
  on 
  the 
  costa 
  and 
  three 
  

   on 
  the 
  inner 
  margin, 
  the 
  second 
  consisting 
  of 
  three 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  margin, 
  the 
  

   fourth 
  consisting 
  of 
  a 
  stripe 
  across 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  a 
  small 
  round 
  one 
  below 
  

   it, 
  and 
  three 
  long 
  spots, 
  one 
  beyond 
  the 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  small 
  one, 
  and 
  the 
  others 
  

   successively 
  nearer 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  also 
  another 
  

   isolated 
  long 
  spot 
  between 
  the 
  cell 
  and 
  the 
  submarginal 
  row 
  of 
  six 
  long 
  spots, 
  

   within 
  which, 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  margin, 
  is 
  a 
  long 
  pointed 
  streak. 
  Fringes 
  damaged, 
  

   apparently 
  grey, 
  with 
  black 
  tufts 
  at 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  nervm-es, 
  especially 
  towards 
  

   the 
  anal 
  angle 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings. 
  

  

  Body 
  brown 
  al)ove, 
  grey 
  beneath, 
  face 
  ochreous, 
  antenna 
  and 
  palpi 
  above, 
  

   black 
  ; 
  the 
  former 
  tipped 
  with 
  ochreous, 
  and 
  banded 
  with 
  grey.

  Mr. 
  Hamilton 
  H. 
  Druce 
  remarks, 
  " 
  It 
  bears 
  a 
  superficial 
  resemblance 
  to 
  some 
  butterflies 
  of 
  

   the 
  family 
  Eryciniche, 
  viz., 
  Anteras 
  Acanthus. 
  Cram., 
  and 
  A. 
  Acanthoides, 
  Herr.-SchafE., 
  but 
  

   without 
  the 
  tails." 
  If 
  the 
  fringes 
  were 
  perfect, 
  this 
  resemblance 
  would 
  probably 
  be 
  lessened. 
  

   The 
  specimen 
  was 
  described 
  by 
  Hewitson 
  as 
  a 
  male, 
  but 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  female.
