 in size anteriorly, and with a small subapical spot beyond ; the band on the hindwing 

 is continuous, the crossing veins being also yellow ; a minute yellow dot preceded 

 by a black spot close to the subcostal within the cell of forewing ; an indistinctly-

 slio-htly pale points. Underside very pale purpurescent-brown, the basal area and 

 the external border, in patches, being suffused with dusky-brown ; the transverse
