Exp. 2f inches. 



Male. Upperside. Anterior wings pale olivaceous-brown, the costa tinged 

 with dull gi-eenish ; cell crossed by a black line directed inwards, near the Imse, 

 two black lines, slightly curving outwards, and enclosing a space darker than 

 the rest of the wing, about the middle, and two more, the outermost dentated, 

 at the extremity of the cell. These paired lines are connected below, and less 

 distinctly above ; and the first pair is followed, beneath the cell, by a black ring. 

 Beyond the cell runs a cm-ved dusky stripe, rather ill -defined on its upper 

 l)ortion, but expanding about the middle of the wing into a large dark l)rown 

 blotch, which merges in a dark brown stripe filling up the space below the sub- 

 median nervure. Another slightly curved brown stripe runs down from the 

 costa near the apex to the inner margin, above which it exjiands. lint into a 

 much smaller blotch than the first stripe. Hind margin bordered with a blackish 

 line ; fringes marked with white between the nervures. 



Posterior wings with the basal half filled uj) with a large buff-yellow blotch, 

 not extending to the inner or hind margin ; it is indented on the outside, and 

 at its lower and outer extremity it throws off a short oljlique stripe nearly 

 parallel to the curve of the hind margin. The rest of the wing (exce])t a ))alc 

 submarginal stripe) is of a rather darker olivaceous-brown than above. 



Underside dull gi-eenish-yellow. Anterior wings with the black discoidal 

 lines as above, but the paired lines are not united at the extremities. The two 

 outer bands are narrower than on the upper side, and ill-defined on tlir uppc r
