the costa slightly arched at the Ijase, very strongly so before 

 the tip, and nearly straight between ; ajiex bhmtly angulated ; 

 hind margin immediately below it straight and hardly oblique, 

 but elbowed below the middle and thence more curved, 

 minutely crenulated ; dorsal margin also rounded ; pale 

 brownish-ochreous ; basal line orange-bi-own, slightly angu- 

 lated below the costa, then obliijue, forming the outer margin 

 of a basal blotch of the same colour ; hrst line oblique, angu- 

 lated in the discal cell, thence almost straight, black-brown ; 

 second line more oblif|ue, Init perpendicular from the costa 

 to the middle, then squarely elbowed and twice angulated 

 below, black-brown, edged outside with a slender whitish 

 line ; the space between the first and second lines forms a 

 very broad conspicuous orange-brown central band, its middle 

 area occupied by two large paler clouds, on each side of which 

 is a black-brown transverse line ; subterminal line faintly 

 indicated by the whitish edges of some narrow little fulvous 

 clouds in an irregular series, those just above the middle 

 becoming more distinct, or even blackened, and running off, 

 in a dark brown or I>lack streak, obli(piely into the apex of 

 thawing; cilia brownish-ochreous faintly spotted with brown. 

 Hind wings broad but rather short, crenulated behind ; 

 smoky yellowish-white, very faintly clouded with partial 

 transverse brown shades, and with a similar shade along the 

 hind margin; cilia concolorous. Female rather stouter; 

 ground colour of the fore wings paler, and the markings 

 almost devoid of the brown colouring, inclining to yellow- 

 fulvous. 



Underside of the fore wings smoky yellow-brown ; the 

 costal region ochreous with brown dusting ; discal spot 

 minute, black ; second line visible as the margin of the 

 darker clouding ; beyond it are faint ochreous shades near to 

 the hind margin. Hind wings yellowish-white, thickly 

 dusted with brown ; central spot small, black ; beyond it is a 

 band of faint whitish dashes ; nervures tinged with ochreous. 

 Body and legs very pale yellow-brown, dusted with brown.
