wing : spots in band as on upper-side ; an ochreous-yellow 

 tinge on inner-margin, at conclusion of band ; lunular streaks 

 as in fore- wing.

 in this species, well contrasted with the rich brown ground-colour, render 

 it a handsome and conspicuous insect . The striking whiteness of the trans- 

 verse bands on the under surface at once distinguish it from all the allied 

 species.
