jj/fl/c. Upperside. Both wings hright rufous-hrown. Anterior wings, with 

 the costal area, upper part of the cell, apex, and outer marginal area broadly 

 dark brown ; the basal part of the bright rufous area is rather darker than the 

 outer part, the darker part being rather clearly defined transversely across the 

 wings ; a black spot centred with a w4iite dot between the second and third 

 median nervules, with a scarcely visible ring round it, is situate in the pale area, 

 which extends narrowly beyond the spot. Posterior wings with a row of spots 

 across the disc, the three uppermost more or less obsolete ; the fourth spot is 

 large and black, with a white dot in the centre, and surrounded with a bright 

 fulvous zone, margined narrowly with dark brown ; the fifth spot, between the 

 lowest median nervule and submedian nervure, is small, centred with a white 

 dot and surroimded by a rather darker fulvous zone ; the outer margin, has 

 a broad brown border, in which are two sinuate lines, the inner line the 

 broader. 



Underside. Both wings biscuit-colour, crossed ^vitll two reddish-brown 

 bars from the costa to the submedian nervure ; the inner bar crosses the cell on 

 both wings about its middle, and is rather narrow ; the outer bar lies bej'ond 

 the cell, and becomes broader in the middle. There are two sinuate narrow 

 lines before the margin, which is brown, and in the space between them and 

 the bars are tw^o rows of black spots, centred with white dots, and surrounded 

 with narrow brown rings. Those on the anterior wings are four in number, 

 and lie betw^een the upper discoidal and lowest median nervules, the lowest spot 

 being the largest and the two middle spots the smallest. The spots on the
