J/d/c. Upperside dark broMTi, both wings crossed beyond the middle by 

 a bright fulvous band, commencing on the anterior wings below the uppermost 

 median nervule, rounded at its apex, and gradually widening to the inner 

 margin. On the posterior wings the band is widest on the first subcostal 

 nervule, and decreases in width, ceasing a little before the submedian nervure ; 

 the space above the first subcostal nervule to the costal margin is pale brownish- 

 white, except at the apex. Outside the fulvous band are situate on the anterior 

 wings two black spots, centred with white dots, one near the apex ; the other 

 between the two lowest median nervules slightly invades the fulvous band. Ou 

 the posterior wings are three similar spots between the median nervules and the 

 submedian nervure ; the middle spot likewise slightly invades the fulvous band. 



Underside. Anterior wings pinkish-brown, with white irrorations, the 

 fulvous band of the upperside being represented by a slightly pinkish-white 

 band extending nearly from the costal to the inner margin ; the cell is crossed at 

 its middle by a rather narrow straight dark bar ; the two spots as on the upper- 

 side, with two minute spots between them, having fulvous rings round each, 

 and situate in a darker indistinct space, beyond which the ground colour is 

 paler ; two sinuate dark brown lines before the outer margin. Posterior wings 

 similar to the anterior wings, but more irrorated with white scales : the wings 

 are crossed before the middle by a narrow dark band commencing a little 

 above the subcostal nervure, and terminating before the inner margin ; a little 

 beyond the middle is another dark band, broadly shading on its inner side into 

 the grey ground colour ; this is followed by the white band, outside which is a
