1^ Mackish-hroum, %vith a dull-orange discal sjyace in each wing; 

 cilia long, Uacldsh-lrown, widely interrupted with white hctiveen nervidcs. 

 Fore-wing : basal area widely suffused with glossy yellowish-grey ; 

 orange longitudinal space very restricted, barely entering discoidal cell, 

 covering three median nervules from their origins, and ending abruptly 

 at some distance before hind-margin ; a narrow pale-yellowish terminal 

 disco-cellular spot touching orange space ; usually a very faint, small, 

 suffused, subapical orange spot near costa. Kind-wing : a rather 

 wide submarginal orange band between discoidal nervule and submedian 

 nervure, dentated both interiorly and exteriorly by three dark crossing 

 nervules ; a slight suffusion of orange about origins of median nervules ; 

 inner-margin bordered with whitish-grey from base to beyond middle. 

 Under side. — Hind-vmig and apical area and narrow hind-marginal 

 horder of fore-wing greyish or vinous-greyish, intersected hy pale-yelloivish 

 7ieurcdion, and ivith rather chdl silvery marJci7igs thinly edged ivith hlacJc. 

 Fore-wing : orange-yellow fading into white along inner margin ; two 

 small longitudinally elongate-ovate silvery-white black-ringed spots in 

 discoidal cell, and a similar vertically elongate one at its extremity ; 

 two similar very small spots close to costa beyond middle ; an oblique 

 silvery streak from apex, commencing a bi-angulated row of small 

 silvery spots extending to first median nervule ; close to hind-margin 

 a row of outwardly-produced sub-sagittiform silvery marks from apex to 

 third median nervule, below which the row is continued to submedian 

 nervure by three rather suffused blackish marks. Hind-iving : the 

 following silvery markings, viz., a dot at base, close to costa ; two in 

 discoidal cell, and a large sub-trigonate spot at its extremity ; two con- 

 verging short curved streaks from costal to subcostal nervure, before 

 middle ; an irregular, discal, zigzag macular streak, rather suffused on 

 its inner edge, continuous from second subcostal nervule to inner 

 margin ; a row, close to hind-margin, of sagittiform marks, becoming
