Mcdt'. Upperside. Both wings dark brown, nearly black ; anterior wings 

 with an oblique hyaline band of three spots before the apex, and three oval 

 rufous-browu spots on the disc between the median nervules, the upper spot 

 minute, the lowest the largest ; posterior wings crossed about the middle by an 

 irregular rufous-brown band. 



Underside. Anterior wings with the rufous-brown spots much less con- 

 spicuous, the apex and outer margin fulvous crossed by dark rays between the 

 veins ; posterior wings with the basal two-thirds rather bright pale fulvous, 

 darker towards the base, the outer third crowned by an irregular black band with 

 a series of black rays between the veins to the outer margin, bordered on either 

 side by pale fulvous markings, one black spot in the cell towards its base, and 

 a series of other spots of irregular size in the basal half of the wings.

Male. Upperside. Anterior wings greyish-brown semi-vitreous, three 

 vitreous spots placed obliquely before the apex, outside which and following the 

 contour of the outer margin to the outer angle is a series of brown rays or 

 markings between the veins, the uppermost the shortest, the marking between 

 the two lowest median nervules the most elongate ; those on either side of the 

 submedian nervure confluent. Posterior wings bright brown, with marginal 

 dark rays along the veins and in the interspaces, four black spots in the cell ; 

 numerous others clustered round the cell and towards the base. 



Underside. Anterior wings bordered outwardly all round by a dusky 

 brown band very broad at the apex, crossed by the dark veins and rays in the
