Imago. — " Male. Upperside. Forewing black, quite unglossed, markings light 

 ochreous-fulvous, the base, costa, hindmargin, and a few submarginal touches 

 difi'used rufous-brown ; two small light ochreous spots above the radials, the upper 

 largest ; an obliquely-transverse fulvous macular band from the subcostal vein to 

 the lower angle, the first three spots being elongate-quadrate, separated only by the 

 veins, the last with a pale space beyond it, the fourth well separated from the 

 first three, outwardly incised, the fifth subquadrate, diffused, close to the outer 

 margin, with a large black spot partly enclosed by its inner borders, the sixth 

 slender, lying along the margin of the interno- median space ; another transverse 

 band from the upper edge of the cell to the submedian vein sloping obliquely out- 

 wards, and divided into three parts by the median vein and its lower branch, occupy- 

 ing the middle half of the cell (with a diffused streak at the lower angle, almost 

 separated from it by an oblique black crescent), the basal half of the lower median 

 and half of the interno-median space. Hindwing ochreous-fulvous, the abdominal 

 margin as far as the lower, and in the middle of the disc the upper median branch, 

 covered with diffused black scales, the apical part also sordid, the veins dark, the 

 marginal line and a broader submarginal line thickened at the crossing of the veins, 

 within which is a line of five partly-united dark spots diminishing anally to mere 

 streaks ; a large and distinct black spot discally in the lower median space. Under- 

 side. Forewing paler tawny, the black spaces above replaced by dusky fulvous ones, 

 except a large black spot in the lower median space, and a difi'used blackish one 

 below it, near the lower angle of the wing ; the two subapical spots, and a touch on 

 the costa beyond the cell, lilac-white. Hindwing light fulvous, the base slightly
