 upper part of the cell neaidy to the base fuscous-brown, the remainder being 

 rufous. The cell is crossed by fom- light rufoiis lines, forming two quadrangular 

 si)ots ; a series of white angular lines on the margin, between which and the 

 cell is a row of five white spots, the three uppermost linear, the other two 

 broader, with dusky-brown spots in the middle. 



" Posterior wings rufous, broadly margined with fuscous-brown, and a series 

 of white marginal angular lines corresponding with those on the anterior wings. 



" Undehside. Anterior wings light brown, tinged towards the base with 

 red ; the cell, the basal portion of which is red, is crossed l)y three black spots, 

 centred with and siu-roimded by dusky-white ; the middle row of white si)ots 

 is confluent, extends nearly to the inner angle, and is margined internally by a 

 row of black markings. The mai'giual white angles on both wings are broadly 

 defined and bordered on each side with black, with a white spot in the centre
