margin in the black area, and a narrow bar on the upper disco-celhilar 

 nervule, the five large spots on the underside showing through the wings as 

 dark tawny. 



Underside. Anterior wings with the black outer marginal border strongly 

 marked with light fulvous rays between the veins ; posterior wings paler light 

 fulvous, the outer marginal black border very bright and well defined, with 

 small fulvous markings on the margin, inside which, between the median 

 nervules, are four minute fulvous lines arranged in pairs, one spot towards the 

 base of the cell, one on the disco-cellular nervule, one above the subcostal 

 nervure, three below the cell near the abdominal margin and one above ; 

 several minute spots at the base.

Plancma Paragca, H. Grose-Smith, " Novitates Zoologies, " Vol, VII., 

 p. 547 (1900). 



Exp. 21 inches. 



Male. Upperside. Both wings cinereous grey, the anterior rather darker 

 than the posterior wings. Anterior wings with a narrow irregular obscure 

 greyish-white band crossing the discoidal nervules obliquely, thence turning at 

 right angles between the two upper median nervules ; another narrow band of 

 the same colour crosses the disc below the cell from the middle median nervule 

 to near the inner margin, where it becomes obsolete. Posterior wings with an 

 obscure dusky white band crossing the wings before the middle, the basal spots 

 on the underside faintly visible. 



Underside. Resembles the upperside, but on the anterior wings the 

 greyish-white bands are broader, and the space between them and the base is 

 darker grey ; on the posterior wings the basal area is brown, with a cluster of 

 black spots arranged irregularly within it. 



The female resembles the male, but is larger, and the greyish-white bands 

 on the anterior wings are broad and more distinct.
