Female. Uri'KKsiDE siniihir to tlie male, hut the tawny markings paler, and 

 the brown markings much more extended and sutiused ; the tawaiy outer portion 

 of the wings being much more distinctly divided into sjiots by the nervures. 

 Posterior wings with a submarginal brown band, on which rest eight yellowish- 

 tawny spots, mostly crescent-shaped ; the last dot at the anal angle is whitish. 



Underside. As in the male, but a distinct common brown line runs 

 oljliquely from within the apex of the anterior wings to the middle of the inner 

 margin of the posterior wings, to which it turns at an angle ; outside this is a 

 row of obsolete zigzag markings, most distinct on the posterior wings. The 

 other markings differ little.
