^ Fulvous-orange, vjith fuscous marJcings and hind-marginal bor- 

 der. Fore-wing : base with a slight fuscous-grey suffusion ; costa rather 

 narrowly bordered with creamy or vinous-yellow from base to a little 

 before middle, thence with fuscous to apex ; hind-marginal boi-der 

 broad, of nearly even width to about posterior angle, where it is con- 

 siderably enlarged ; a rather irregular submacular transverse discal band, 

 of moderate width, from costal border, its lower extremity joining hind- 

 marginal border on first median nervule ; usually a small rounded black 

 spot in discoidal cell ; a larger, squarer, terminal disco-cellular spot 

 confluent with costal border. Hind-ivi7ig : base next costa shining 

 pale ochreous-grey, next inner margin narrowly suffused with fuscous- 

 grey ; apical area occuj^ied broadly with brownish-black, which divides 

 to form (i) a narrow hind-marginal edging, disapj^earing before attain- 

 ing submedian nervure, and (2) a broader discal ray, ending rather 

 abruptly on first median nervule ; inner margin whitish ; anal-angular 

 lobe and caudal projection vinous-ochreous. Cilia conspicuously alter- 

 nated with black and white. Under side. — Hind-ioing and margins 

 of fore-wing varying from dull vinous to darh fcrruginous-ochrcous. 

 Fore-wing : orange ground-colour paler than on upper side ; the fol- 

 lowing silvery-white black-ringed spots, viz., three disco-cellular (the 

 additional spot being near base), and an irregular discal band of six. 

 Hind-iving : two conspicuous, short, transverse, pure- white streaks 

 about middle, between costal and subcostal nervures, at a little distance 

 apart ; beyond middle a similar but much longer, slightly irregular, 

 streak extending from first subcostal nervule to inner margin ; adjoining 

 this streak a hoary-grey inner-marginal space, extending narrowly 

 along margin, outwardly to lobe at anal angle, and inwardly as far as 

 a small narrow white mark ; externally bounding upper part of discal 

 white streak, a small purplish-fuscous cloud ; usually some pruinose
