Exp. 2f inches. 



Female. Upperside. Both wings resemble those of R. Fhtjle, Felcler, but differ 

 from it as under : On the anterior wings the band of semi-hyaline spots beyond 

 the cell is more oblique ; the first spot in this band nearest the costa is closer 

 to the second ; the third spot is more elongate, and the fourth is smaller, and 

 situate nearer the outer margin ; the outer row of submarginal spots is not 

 continued beyond the uppermost median nervule ; the third and fourth spots 

 from the apex being obsolete. On the posterior wings across the disk, a little 

 beyond the middle, is situate a row of spots in pairs between the veins, the pair 

 between the subcostal nervules being confluent ; the submarginal row of small 

 spots which in R. Fhjle extends nearly to the anal angle is represented only by 

 two indistinct spots near the apex. 



The UNDERSIDE does not differ from the upperside, except that there is a 

 submarginal row of minute spots in pairs between the veins on the posterior 

 wings. 



Head and thorax black, spotted with white, abdomen smoky brown. Back 

 of thorax beneath, and abdomen beneath, white.
