surface showing through towards the base ; an obHque orange-tawny band 

 across the anterior wings just beyond the middle, which turns parallel to the 

 hind margin almost at a right angle, where it is marked with three brown spots, 

 and ceases just below the second median nervule. 



Underside varied with olive-brown, the space above the subcostal at the 

 base, and the space in and about the cell dusted with pale bluish ; anterior wings 

 with a black spot near the base of the cell, followed by an irregular transverse 

 constricted one about the middle, and two irregular lines, the outermost 

 followed by black blotches just beyond the cell ; beyond these an irregular row 

 of l)lack blotches runs beyond and below the cell ; these are followed by a buff 

 blotch on the costa, and a greenish stripe running from it ; at the tip is a bluish- 

 white spot. Posterior wings with three black spots in the cell, and a double 

 line at the extremity ; a series of four decreasing black spots runs from the 

 costa to beyond the cell, and these are bordered on the outside with a rather 

 indistinct whitish stripe ; towards the inner margin the wing shades into 

 yellowish, and the hind margin is bordered by an obsolete broken dark line, 

 occasionally varied with bluish-grey.
