$ Fuscous, witli a vivid purpU gloss. Fore-wing : three rather 

 narrow yellow-ochreous markings, viz., a short, quadrate, cellular one, 

 adjoining median nervui'e between origins of first and second nervules, 

 an elongate, curved, irregular streak beyond middle, from close to 

 costa, as far as first median nervule, and a small sub-lunulate spot 

 near apex, between upper radial and third median nervules ; the purple 

 gloss covering inner-marginal region from base to hind-margin, but 

 not rising above median nervure or its second nervule. Hind-wing : 

 purple extends from base to hind-margin, between subcostal nervure 

 and its first nervule and submedian nervure ; on anal-angular lobe two 

 blackish dots, scaled and ringed w^itli silvery and whitish. Cilia white. 

 Under side. — Silvcry-inhite, with hroad, dull ochrcous-hrown, ccntrallg 

 silver-streaked, llaclc-edgcd bars and. sjwts. Forc-unng : a quadrate spot 

 at base, leaving costal edge and median nervure very narrowly silvery- 

 white ; before middle, a short bar from costa to submedian nervure ; 

 from about middle of costa a long oblique bar extending towards anal 

 angle, but becoming obsolete just above submedian nervure ; a round 

 spot on costa beyond middle ; from costa, near apex, a much-curved 

 bar extending to between third and second median nervules, where it 

 abruptly and bluntly ends ; a hind-marginal border of the same colour 

 as the bars, commencing at apex and becoming obsolete about sub- 

 median nervure, interiorly black-edged and rather sharply dentated, 

 mesially traversed by an interrupted black line edged with whitish on 

 both sides. Hind-'wing ; a basal and inner-marginal submacular bai", 

 externally presenting five blunt projections, extending to about middle ; 

 an irregular, oblique central bar (continuous of first bar of fore-wing) 

 extending to a little before anal angle, where it is angulated back-
