Glossy blacJcish-brown ( ? duller and paler J ; with a com- 

 mon transverse white stripe, commencing near hind-margin 

 (to which it is parallel) of fore-wing about first median 

 nervule, widening as it descends, and extending straight 

 across hind-wing from costa (close to apex) to anal angle. 

 Fore-wing : a white dot close to costa near apex, beneath 

 which are two indistinct ferruginous spots, indicates proper 

 origin of transverse stripe ; costa and hind-margin more or 

 less tinged with ferruginous, especially the latter, which is 

 marked by a row of thin, silvery-white lunules towards anal 

 angle. Hind-wing : hind-margin coloured as in fore-wing, 

 more conspicuously so near anal angle, and with two rows of 

 silvery lunules, — the inner continuous of that of fore-wing 

 and its lunules touching so as to form a festooned streak, — 

 lunules of the outer row separate, indistinct towards costa. 

 Cilia white between nervules. Under-side. — Pale-brownisb, 

 with ferruginous streaks and clouds ; transverse stripe nar- 

 rower, not so white as above, commenced by a very thin, 

 often indistinct, streak (originating a little below white costal 

 dot of fore-wing), and interrupted on costa of hind-wing, 

 where it is clouded with ferruginous and marked with a row 

 of three blackish dots : common to both wings, — a dentate 

 outwardly bluish-white edged dentate stria crossing discoidal 

 cells, — a double bluish-white line closing cell, — an irregular 

 transverse stripe, interrupted on first median nervules, just 

 beyond cells, — a darker shade of brown between this stripe 

 and the white one, — and two rows (more or less interrupted) 

 of hind-marginal lunules. Fore-wing : a minute line close 

 to base and a ring beyond it (enclosing a ferruginous one) in 

 discoidal cell, bluish-white; a ferruginous cloud on costa 

 beyond middle, and two others (smaller) on projections of 

 hind-margin. Hind-wing : a whitish ring in cell near base ; 

 close to it a smaller one above cell ; a large ferruginous cloud 

 on hind-margin, between discoidal nervule and anal angle.
